?? Meet Milo: A Story of Second Chances and Hard-Won Trust ??Some love stories begin with love at first sight.Milo’s? His reminds us that the best things in life are worth waiting for.This handsome 1-year-old boy came to us as an owner surrender after his senior owner faced health challenges and could no longer provide the care he deserved. We were told Milo was “shy” with new people… but shy turned out to be an understatement.For 16 days, Milo was all bark and no bite—literally.He pinned his ears back, grumbled through every interaction, and made it very clear he wanted nothing to do with us. Even while eating his favorite treats, he’d complain the entire time. Most cats win us over in minutes.Milo? He made us earn it.But our staff saw something special beneath all that bluster. They knew a sweet soul was hiding under those defensive grumbles—just waiting for the right moment to emerge. So one dedicated employee kept showing up day after day, armed with lickable treats and unwavering patience.And then, on Day 16… everything changed.When she opened his cage for their usual routine, Milo didn’t grumble.He didn’t pin his ears back.Instead, he greeted her with open paws, deep purrs, and climbed straight into her lap.After more than two weeks of walls, he finally let someone in.It was the breakthrough we’d been hoping for—proof that beneath the fear was a cat capable of profound love and trust.Now Milo is ready for a forever home… and he needs someone extraordinary.??

Available now!   Date of birth: 7/18/25   "The Boys" had a sad start to life. Mom gave birth to 9, but Mom and 3 babies didn't make it. We took in Billy, Frenchie, and Hughie and the bottle feeding began! The Boys were always happy, healthy, hungry and active. They were eager to move to wet food, to eat, but also to cover themselves in it! They are brave, fun, and they love the hoomans! Billy is incredibly sweet and loves to cuddle and climb up on shoulders.   If this kitty has not yet been spayed or neutered they may still go home if the approved adopter agrees to sign a legal contract certifying that they will take Kitty to the spay/neuter appointment.   Our standard adoption fees are $99 for adult cats and $150 for kittens.
