Casper is a beautiful a white Persian. Indoor cat that loves to be wherever you are. He is 13 years old and well behaved. His hobbies include self grooming, looking out the window and chasing the ball toy, now and then. He needs to be groomed, nails trimmed and is due for an annual physical. My work hours changed to 12 hour shifts so he is alone a lot. If you’re looking for a furry friend that likes to sit near you, Casper will be a match.

Meet Loki! This sweet feline came to us from a home with many, many cats, and she seems to really enjoy their company! She's a sweet and soft girl who's calm and sleepy most of the time. She likes to spend her time cuddled up with the other kitties from her previous home. With people, she comes after after a little bit at her own pace and loves getting gentle pets. If you're considering more than one cat, her friend Bye Bye would be a wonderful match! Change is hard for this cat. This cat will be very nervous when you first bring them home. You will need to set up a room with a litter box, food, and water. It will take days for this cat to become comfortable and confident in the new home. This cat will be going home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for everyone to transition successfully. Ready to Adopt?

We looked outside our kitchen window one afternoon a couple of months ago to find this gorgeous little floof sunning herself on the hood of our car. We put out food for ferals (and get them fixed!) but we had never seen her before. Upon investigation, she was clearly feral but young enough that we could trap her and bring her inside. Madonna is what is known as a Spirit Cat: she was born outside and had no human contact in her critical first two months, leaving her wary of humans. She is not aggressive and is tolerant of human company, frequently climbing on the bed with me or approaching me curiously. However, she is skittish around people, does not like to be approached, and will probably never be a lap cat. She absolutely loves other cats and would be a great companion for a young playful cat or kitten who is in need of a friend. She would love to find a home with her friend Noel, also a Spirit Cat, and we would offer a discounted adoption fee to an adopter willing to take them together. However, Madonna would do well in any calm, patient home with a playful cat and without young children. She would be perfect for someone who already has an affectionate lap cat who is lonely and looking for another cat to play with. Madonna is so beautiful that simply admiring her from a distance makes us all feel honored! She is a long-haired beauty who has some Ragdoll features.     May 18, 2025, 8:58 pm
