Story
Juniper found us as a stray. Just before last winter, she climbed into the car when we parked it. We took her in, got her checked at the vet, including all of her shots, and had her spayed. Everything was fine for a couple of months, then I started developing a rash. We eventually figured out it was her. I am on medication, but I can't keep doing that. I need to rehome her because I am having a hard time with this allergy. Juniper lives with 2 dogs. She tolerates them, but doesn't play with them. She is starting to learn to play with toys though. I think she was a stray for a long time and never played. She knew how to use the litterbox from day one, so I think she was in a home when she was little. The Vet thinks she is about 3 years old. She likes to sleep a lot, especially in the window. I don't know how she will do with other cats, so I would prefer a home where she would be the only cat. I don't know how she would tolerate small children.

Story
He is a good cat but has a lot of anxiety. He has a past of attacking people randomly but has never once attacked me. He’s 10 years old and isn’t a very active cat. A little bit of a rough player and you can kinda tell his limits. He is great at cuddles and loves to sleep between legs and near you. Will probably be your side kick wherever you go in the house. He’s very territorial and does urinate on clothes if left out. He’s definitely a bit of a project but has a good heart to those he trusts.

Story
Sterling DOB: 6/3/25 Sterling is a bonded pair with his sister Beauty — they must be adopted together, and the adoption fee covers both cats. To add some class to your house, Sterling is your guy. With the softest fur and a gorgeous coat pattern, this handsome charmer is absolutely stunning in person. He may come across as shy at first, but it doesn’t take long for him to warm up — and once he does, he is social, affectionate, and loves human, canine, and fellow feline interaction. Just one look and this guy starts purring! Sterling loves belly rubs and is never shy about letting you know he likes you. He purrs constantly when being pet and can’t wait to find the perfect lap to curl up on. He likes to snuggle at night and spends his days enjoying his cat tree, bird watching from the window, and batting at laser pointers, cat wands, bells, feathers, and empty boxes. One of his very favorite things? Playing with and chasing his sister Beauty. The two of them are like Yin and Yang — inseparable and endlessly entertaining together. Sterling gets along well with dogs and other cats. He is looking for a home that will give both him and Beauty the love and patience they deserve.

Beauty DOB: 6/3/25 Beauty is a bonded pair with her brother Sterling — they must be adopted together, and the adoption fee covers both cats. This beautiful girl is so perfectly named. Beauty is currently living her best life in her foster home, and while she is a more reserved kitten who takes time to build trust, she is VERY sweet and special — and absolutely worth the wait. She loves hiding spots when she needs a little space, and perches up high on the cat tree to survey her kingdom and soak up a sunny spot. Bird watching is one of her favorite pastimes. Beauty loves roughhousing and chasing her brother Sterling, and the two of them together are pure joy to watch. She has a sweet morning routine — rubbing against her foster mom’s legs while she brushes her teeth, just to remind her that it’s wet food time. She enjoys laser pointers, scratching posts, bells, feathers, and cat wands. She may take a while to feel fully at home, but once she does, she will sneak into bed with you at night and make herself right at home beside you. One more thing that makes her extra special: Beauty doesn’t meow — she squeaks! She gets along with other cats and is looking for a patient, loving home alongside her brother Sterling.

Story
Ollie is the sweetest, gentlest, most cuddly boy. I rescued him from a terrible hoarding situation about two years ago, and in that time, one of my female cats has never really warmed up to him. I have two biological sisters that I found in a dumpster, and unfortunately, one of them just refuses to accept Ollie. I've tried everything I can think of to help them coexist. I keep them separated as much as possible, with their own spaces, rooms, and feeding stations. But even after two years, Ollie can't walk into a room she's in without being hissed at or swatted. He's such a sweet, calm boy, and it breaks my heart to see how much this is starting to affect him. He seems sad and scared. Sudden noises or movements make him jump and run away, and I can't help but wonder if he's starting to feel like he has to be afraid in his own home. We're downsizing soon, and I'm genuinely worried that having less space will make things even harder for him. I just want him to have a happy, healthy life.
