Story
Laika is best friends with her brother Django. They were found together, and now they do everything together. It would be great if they could be adopted together. Laika and Django are both very social, energetic, love bugs. Laika is more of the wild card. She is slightly more energy than him. She is great with people, she is home trained, but she is not spayed yet. Laika and Django have really been the best cats.

OJ is such a sweetheart and loves to lay right by your feet to protect you at nights. He is very food motivated and will wake you up for food! This orange lover will purr constantly when petting him.

Story
Wednesday is an affectionate cat that loves sleeping under the covers and sitting with her person in the evening. She would do best with an owner who can be home and keep her company during the day. She has some support needs: she has food allergies that cause her to pick at her skin, and while she is house-trained, she will pee on fabric left on the floor if stressed. She's also vocal, and will complain if she isn't able to be in the same room as all the people if you're congregated, i.e. while eating, having guests over, etc. While she has been an indoor/outdoor cat in the past, for the last several years she has been only indoors, and therefore has not had her most recent feline leukemia shot.

Story
This is Boe. He is the most sweetest loving cat and will purr and lay on top of you all night long. Loves to snuggle and is very patient with kids. He doesn’t get along with other cats in the house so needs to be an only cat. He has a cute little broken tail at the tip but it doesn’t hurt him at all. He sometimes looks a little cross eyed which makes him so much cuter. He is so deserving of all the love and pets and treats!

Django was found with his sister, Laika. I have fostered them for about 10 weeks. Django is attached to his sister, so it would be ideal for them to be adopted together. Django is fun and energetic. He plays with Laika all the time, and he also loves to cuddle and get scratched. He is great with all humans and again he’s super super social. Fully house trained. Great guy

Story
We need to give our lovely Koko away. We adopted her together with her sister, Sashimi, from a shelter in 2022 when they were 3 months old. We were looking to add these kitties to our home, which already included an older cat we've had for years. Unfortunately, Koko simply has not been able to co-exist with our older cat. They do not get along and have caused behavioral issues. Koko is a loving, communicative and warm cat who loves humans. We believe she would thrive in a single-pet home, ideally with someone who has had cats and understands them well.
