Story
Handsome, sweet, and playful Frank. Beautiful markings and stripes down his back. Adores being loved on and pet. Not a fan of being picked up but will sleep next to you on the sofa. Sleeps with his toys, brings toys as gifts, plays fetch. Loves lettuce! Timid/spooks easily by doorbell, strangers. Warms up to anyone calm and offering a kind pet. Raised Indoors with us since a kitten. Hoped he would get along with our 11 year old male cat and tried everything for 4 years- they are just not a match. Frank is increasingly territorial and bullies/police’s older cat daily. When feeling threatened by changes he redirect’s aggression with big fights that require several days of separation. We have had many recent changes at home including a new baby, moving furniture, visitors. Frank deserves a calm, loving environment where he can let down his guard and be himself without being sent to his room alone. I feel he might get along with a female cat. Dogs may be scary. He deserves a loving home.

Story
Gracie is a snuggler and a very loving companion, but she needs a home where she is the only cat. She was separated from her sister before we adopted her and has been reluctant to make friends with any other kitties for years since, to the point where she becomes reclusive and hides away until she can be alone with her humans. This has made it harder for her to enjoy life with our two other cats. We love Gracie but want her to feel secure with a loving family she can call her own.

Story
Felix was born near an Amazon facility. He and his sister were wondering the trailer yard a few days before they were caught and cared for. They were a month old. Felix is now 10 months old and still playful as ever. When it’s dinner time, he so excited and growls as he eats. He’s a cuddler but only for a little while until he’s meowing to get out.

Story
Pilot was found in engine area of vehicle as kitten in Nov 2023. Got loose in house. We earned trust over these months and now able to pet Pilot but not yet pick him up. He’s still playful and now wants to be near or next to us. Unfortunately we have a large dog who is curious, which means Pilot doesn’t get the attention he craves. Pilot needs a home and companionship.

Story
Doda was bought at a shelter 3 years ago, we were looking for a little friend to take home on Valentine’s Day and she was the one! She’s had a wonderful life with us here but due to a surprise pregnancy, we aren’t able to accommodate her the way we used to. She is a loving cat who enjoys cuddling on the bed or a nice blanket on a couch, she loves her toys and can’t get enough of those chicken snackies! We are looking for a home for her that she can feel safe, loved, and genuinely cared for in. Doda’s legal name is turtle dove but it didn’t seem to fit, and so we named her after the Greek meaning for “well-loved” which she truly is and deserves to be.

Story
These two sweet kitties inspired my daughter to fight like a warrior to recover from her illness, but sadly, their human was taken from them and they are in need of a new forever home. They are an extremely bonded pair yet also fully engaged in their human relationships. They are indoor only. Shots are overdue but no fleas, no worms, no health issues. No behaviorial problems whatsoever. They have toys, scratchers and enrichment activities. They use an amazing litter system (Tidy Cats Breeze). No clay dust or clumps and no perceptible odor. They are both calm. sweet-tempered, playful, and snuggly. They are also both 100% self grooming though Figgy is spoiled and usually has his done by Dinah. They both give sweet nose bop kisses and Dinah can say I love you with her eyes. Figaro is a big sleek boy and weighs about 14 pounds. He is SUPER chill, very affectionate, and a spoiled baby. Toys, litter, food, etc. will be passed along. *** Please see separate listing for Dinah.
