Story
Gatsby The Ultimate Lap Cat with a Heart of Gold Gatsby is a stunning red tabby born on November 18, 2024, and hes every bit as sweet as he looks. This gentle boy absolutely adores being close and will happily spend hours curled up in a warm lap, purring softly and soaking up every bit of love he can get. Hes the kind of cat who makes any day better just by being nearaffectionate, calm, and endlessly loving. Gatsby would like to be an only cat and would be happiest in a quiet home with older children (12+) who can appreciate his tender, snuggly nature. He prefers a dog-free environment where he can relax and be the cherished center of attention. He is neutered, has age appropriate vaccine, parasite treated, tested negative for both FIV and FeLV and microchipped, Gatsby is ready to fill his forever home with warmth, comfort, and the sweetest lap cuddles imaginable. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PLEASE READ: 1) I do home visits for all the cats/kittens for adoption. I am not currently able to adopt to anyone living more than 1 hour outside of Rochester, NY. 2) I require a vet reference and will contact them. 3) Most of the cats in my care come from the streets and have had a bad start in life. They usually would do best in a home with older children and NO dogs. 4) All the cats/kittens that are up for adoption will be spayed/neutered, have age appropriate vaccinations, combo tested and treated for fleas and worms. 5) An approved application is necessary prior to a meet and greet,

Story
We adopted Kiki at 10yo in May 2024 from a friend of a friend w/ little info. Sadly, after 2 years of trying to make her happy, she’s just not. We have kids and other pets and she hates them all. Kiki’s preferred human is my husband & she adores him. Very affectionate towards him and allows him to pet her. She loves to lay in the sunlight, chase her tail, play with a toy or lounge around. She gets the daytime zoomies and races all over the house. She’s an older gal, just turned 12 in May. So she’s not looking for a high energy household. She wants quiet, she’s ready to retire from chaos. She has a prescription medication to calm her for vet appts. & nail trimmings. Claw on extra toe that’s thick & sensitive.

Wilson is a beautiful Orange Tabby cat. He is so friendly and a great cat. He is a senior cat and is looking for a forever home with someone that he can cuddle with. He will do very well with kids. He loves people so much, and he purrs all day. I would say to have him be the only cat. That is preferred for him at this stage. He is up to date on all shots and vet visits. We will include food, litter, feeder, food storage, and litter box to a good home.

Story
Bingo won the lottery! He was rescued on my property before the harsh winter settled in. 9 months in and he is now fully domesticated. We successfully reached our goal; hence, he is ready for adoption to a responsible loving home, indoors only. He is a 3 yr old male brown tabby 10 lbs, microchipped, vetted, vaccinated, neutered and healthy. He is confident, trusting, affectionate, loving, playful, frisky, and food/treat driven. Unknown if he should be housed with other cats; however, he loves my dogs! He will be homed with his personal belongings including his cat tree house. My mission is providing a safe haven for my rescues while ensuring they are spayed/neutered. I live in rural country and I rescue on average 1-2 cats per year. Location: Bethany, NY (near Batavia, NY).

These cats are in Rochester, New York too!

Story
Claudia is a beautiful black female cat born on March 6, 2025, with a quiet sweetness that makes her unforgettable in the gentlest way. She may not be the loudest, boldest, or flashiest cat in the room, but Claudia has a soft kind of magic all her own. At first, Claudia can be shy. She likes to take her time, observe the world around her, and decide when she feels safe. But beneath that reserved little exterior is a sweet heart waiting to be discovered. Her charm is subtle, tender, and genuine—the kind that grows stronger with patience, kindness, and love. Claudia gets along with other cats and may find comfort in having feline friends nearby. She is the kind of cat who brings a peaceful presence to a home, quietly filling the space with calm companionship. Her beauty is not just in her sleek black coat, but in her gentle spirit and the sweet trust she has to offer. Claudia is spayed, has age-appropriate vaccinations, has been parasite treated, tested negative for both FeLV and FIV, and is microchipped. Claudia may seem simple at first glance, but sometimes the most special cats are the quiet ones—the ones who do not demand attention, but slowly and softly become part of the heart. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PLEASE READ: 1) I do home visits for all the cats/kittens for adoption.

Story
Meet Ed – The Sweetest Little Gentleman! Ed is the definition of purr-fection! This handsome red tabby with his snowy white neck and tiny white-tipped paws is as charming as he is adorable. Born on August 15, 2025, Ed is still full of kitten energy and loves to play, chase toys, and explore every nook and cranny. When playtime winds down, Ed’s favorite thing in the world is chin rubs. He’ll tilt his head just right and melt into a puddle of purrs the moment he feels a gentle scratch under his chin. His affectionate nature and playful spirit make him the perfect companion for anyone looking for a loving, loyal friend. Ed would do best in a calm home with older children (13+) who can appreciate his gentle personality and give him the attention he deserves. He prefers a dog-free environment where he can be the star of the show. Ed is fully vetted, microchipped, and ready to find his forever family. Could that be you? Adopt Ed and bring home a lifetime of love, laughter, and chin rubs! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PLEASE READ: 1) I do home visits for all the cats/kittens for adoption.

Story
Meet Gemma, a beautiful Bullseye tabby born on 5/3/2026, whose gentle little heart is already shining through at just 3 months old. Gemma is a playful, curious kitten who loves to explore the world around her, but what she treasures most is the comfort and security of being with her bonded sibling, Beau. Their connection is truly special — they find confidence, joy, and love in one another, and they must be adopted together so that bond can stay unbroken. Watching them side by side is a reminder of just how powerful love and companionship can be, and they are ready to share that same warmth with a forever family. We are looking for a home with children ages 8+ and no dogs. Beau and Gemma do get along with other cats. Both kittens are spayed/neutered, have age-appropriate vaccinations, have been parasite treated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and are microchipped. The adoption fee for the pair is $350.00. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PLEASE READ: 1) I do home visits for all the cats/kittens for adoption.
