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.

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
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. He is not aggressive or violent towards other animals, just annoyed, frightened and becomes moody/hides. I am confident that he would thrive in a one pet household.He is friendly towards people of all ages. He is a sweet, sensitive boy who loves to be held, cuddle and give kisses.

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.
