Story
She is the sweetest cat ever. She loves to cuddle she’s a wild baby at night. I wouldn’t be giving her up if it was my choice. She loves to play. She has been around other cats but she is very shy around them. She needs someone who can give her a lot of attention and the love that i was giving her.

Hi. Eli is 7 years old. He’s friendly and cuddly. He’s missing a bone in his leg so he has issues running but otherwise he’s a happy and from what we were told from the Vet, experiences no pain.

Story
We adopted Milo as a kitten. He is approximately 8 years old. Milo had his shots as a kitten and was neutered and microchipped. However, his chip was never registered so that is something you still have the option to do.Milo has unfortunately not had much vet care since due to financial reasons but he is in good health and has no medical issues.The reason Milo is looking for a new home is because he has become unhappy being in a multi-pet home. In the past, he did not have any behavioral issues but began urinating outside of the litter box. There is no underlying medical issues so I am confident that this would subside if he were in a one pet household.He is not aggressive and is friendly towards people of all ages. He is a sweet, sensitive boy who loves to be held, cuddle and give kisses.

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.

Story
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.

We have two 3 year old cats that are brother (Jack) and sister (Peaches). Both are fixed and no health issues. My dad has had them since they were babies and he recently went into a skilled nursing facility and is now a permanent resident. We would like the cats to stay together. They have never been around a dog but love people.

Her birthday November 28 2025. She’s so cute and sweet. She knows some sign language too since I’m deaf.I cannot afford her at the moment unfortunately too. My daughter is mean to cats so it’s not a good home for her as of now.
