Story
Gouda is basically a giant, purring Cheeto with legs, and she fully intends to crunch her way right into your heart. This sweet orange girl is the definition of cuddly: if she can curl up on you, beside you, or vaguely near you, she considers it a successful day. She’s living her best life in a foster home right now, charming everyone with her soft snuggles, tiny chirps, and “I’m cute, feed me” stare that works every single time. Gouda is ready to trade her foster digs for a forever home where she can be your warm, toasty little sidekick. Her adoption fee is $150 and covers age-appropriate vaccines, spay, microchip, and parasite prevention. If you’ve ever wanted your very own sentient cheese puff, this is your girl.

Story
Meet Shadow 🐾 Shadow is a sleek black cat in his teenage years who looks just like a mini panther; graceful, shiny, and full of personality. He's playful, curious, and an excellent hunter (great pest control!). Shadow enjoys being indoors but will try to slip out any open door for a little exploring. He gets along well with kids and other cats, but his play can be a bit rough. With patience and attention, he could be a wonderful house cat, or he'd thrive as a barn cat where he can roam and hunt freely. We're rehoming him because of roaming dogs in our area that have been breaking our fence trying to get to him; we just want him safe and happy in a place where he can truly thrive. 🖤

Story
Meet Wisteria! 🌸 Wisteria is a curious and playful young kitten with beautiful tiger stripes and a personality just as striking. Bursting with energy, she’s always up for an adventure—whether that’s chasing toys, exploring every corner of the room, or chatting with you about her latest discoveries. Yes, Wisteria is quite the talker and isn’t shy about letting you know when she wants attention (or a snack!). When the excitement winds down, Wisteria loves to curl up in your lap for a cozy nap, purring herself to sleep. She’s being fostered in Madison, AL, in a home with both dogs and cats, and she’s learning to be a confident, social companion. Wisteria is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her core vaccines—ready to join her forever family. If you're looking for a kitten who will keep you entertained, fill your home with love, and always be by your side (or on your lap), Wisteria is your girl! Come meet this little tigress—you won’t be able to resist her charm!

Story
Meet Tulip – A Quiet Beauty Ready to Bloom 🌷 Tulip is a stunning, independent girl who is learning the comforts of indoor life one day at a time. Though people can still be a little scary, she’s beginning to enjoy gentle affection and will even seek out a scratch or two when she’s feeling safe. She has a calm, observant nature and prefers to take her time getting to know new surroundings. Tulip coexists peacefully with dogs and isn’t afraid to set polite boundaries when needed. She would thrive in a patient, low-key home where she can adjust at her own pace and continue to grow in confidence. Tulip is being fostered in Madison, AL and will be spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to adoption. If you're looking for a quiet, low-maintenance companion and have a heart for giving a shy cat the time she needs to trust, Tulip may be your perfect match. 💻 Apply to adopt on our website 📧 Questions?

Arya is a beautiful cat and can be very loving. I was going to keep her, but my partner’s dogs are too aggressive towards here. She is house trained and loves to sit on your chest. Love to play with toys too, especially fake mice.
