Story
Sweetie is lovely, as her name indicates she is just a sweet sweet cat. She is calm loves to be petted, she has a energy of love around her and have kind adorable green eyes! She is truly beautiful an will pass so much peace to your life. I hope she is the one you looking for. Let me tell you about her: a few months ago, a sweet stray cat chose our backyard as a safe place to deliver her kittens. We have a quiet, peaceful yard with fresh air and shelter, and she seemed to feel safe here. We allowed her to stay so she could care for her babies without stress. Once the kittens were older and more mobile, we brought them inside our home to begin house-training them. Our goal has always been to give them a strong, loving start and to eventually find them forever homes with caring families who will continue to give them the love and attention they deserve.

Story
Black Jack has been with us since he was 4 weeks old. He and his siblings were dumped with friendly feral momma. He is sweet, very selective on his humans. Gets along with almost all the cats in rescue. Unknown how he will do with dogs in a free roaming sit. He’s seen them but never socialized solo.

Story
Hi, this is Millie. Millie is a diluted calico cat who is approximately 3 years old. She needs an experienced person to handle her. She can be spicy, but also a love bug. I have to rehome her, as for some reason she gets aggressive with my sister and got aggressive with me one time. She can be incredibly sweet, but she needs to go to a good home with someone who can meet her needs, love her, and appreciate her. I'm not sure how well she gets along with other cats or dogs, as I don't have any other animals. She has her rabies shots and FRVCP vaccine; she is also spayed. Her shots are recent, as we got them in August 2025. She will lie and cuddle with you and loves to play a lot. She still has that kitten energy!

Story
😢 Why are we rehoming? This was truly our last resort, we love him so much, but my husbands severe allergies and asthma have made it impossible for us to keep him. 💛About Him: His name is Chicken, hes 2 years old, playful, and incredibly well-behaved. Obedient, smart, and affectionate. Neutered, chipped, vaxxed. Hes friendly with people right away and great with other cats. Hes energetic and loves to play, but also loves to curl up in your lap or nap right beside you. 🏡 Ideal Home: Were looking for someone with experience who genuinely loves cats and will give him plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. A home with another friendly cat (even a kitten) is a big plus - he thrives with companionship. Most importantly, we want him in a safe, stable home where he will be cared for, not ignored or mistreated. The $100 fee helps us ensure this. Hes the sweetest, most gentle boy and we are heartbroken to be losing him. Please message us if you think you are a good fit. 🩵

Story
Bombadil is a 2.5 year old tabby who has had a rocky year. His mom passed last December and has not been able to make friends with 3 of our other 4 cats (2 of which are his litter-mates). He is a very shy boy who responds best to people with a quiet, calm demeanor. He likes to take affection at his own pace. Once he trusts you, he is a great bathroom companion in the mornings, makes standing biscuits when he's extra happy, and loves to burrow under blankets. He doesn't always have a lot to say but is very loud about it when he does. Bombadil would do best in a quiet household, either as a single pet or with one other mild-tempered cat.
