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.

Story
Calliope (the torti) and her whole litter showed up in my mom's front yard as a kitten, we got all of them fixed and she was the one we kept as she refused to be taken in anything but the finest of pet carriers. About 8 months later Clio (the calico) shows up in my yard. They're both very sweet girls who love to play and cuddle. Calliope is aloof and regal like queen while Clio is friendly and sweet like a princess. They're basically inseparable at this point. They're desensitized to touch but don't like to be held. I've also taught them some basic commands and made sure to curtail bad habits before they became a problem. If you choose to take them in, I'm willing to part with all of their toys and stuff, free of charge. 😊

Leo is about 4 years old and has been healthy his whole life; other than being a little overweight. He is the most loving, affectionate cat once he gets to know you. He will cuddle and make biscuits on you for as long as you let him. He is a huge scaredy cat so if you have dogs or kids he might hide. He is up to date on vaccines until 2028.

He has spent time with teenagers, retired foster mom and kids if other cats... but not young children.
