Story
Jack came to us as a kitten from a colony near our home that we TNR'd. After seeing how friendly he was, we kept him and decided to help him find a new home. Jack is 7 months and is very energetic, fearless, and incredibly sweet. He comes up to you when he wants pets and likes to be held but will leave once he is ready to play again. Jack lives with both our cats and has been socialized with friends and family. He is potty trained and is used to getting his nails cut and bathed (although he's still getting used to the water). We are hoping to find him a home where he will have friends to play with and lots of love and attention.

Story
Bug the cat is around 9 months old. I adopted him a couple of months ago from the shelter. He is a sweet and curious cat, who is very friendly with people and other animals. He loves to play and explore, however he can be a little bit mischievous too. I love him so much, but unfortunately due to a personal issue between my roommates, I can’t keep him. I work and go to school full-time and I feel that he needs more attention and time than I am able to give him. He is a great cat, but needs an owner who can be home with him often, because he can get into a lot of trouble when left alone.

I rescued Tux from Front Street Animal Shelter about 2 years ago. He is a very loving and cuddly cat even from when I first got him. He loves to eat so try to keep him on a controlled diet because he will eat anything and everything. :)

Story
Kyra and her brother were saved from a harsh life under a deck in sweltering 109-degree heat. While Kyra eagerly approached us, her brother Mavis was too timid and scared to emerge. With the homeowners' consent, we carefully unscrewed the deck to ensure Mavis's safe rescue. Kyra is an adventurous and affectionate cat who thrives on interaction, while Mavis, though shy, blossoms in her presence. We believe that adopting them together would provide the best environment for both, as Mavis gains confidence with Kyra by his side. Don't miss the chance to welcome this charming pair into your home.

Story
Bonded Pair, Stella and Jojo, were rescued as almost newborns. They are male and female. They have only ever known love and tenderness, and their personalities reflect this. They are gentle and calm and loving. They love to be held and want to sit with you. When you enter the room, Stella will chirp a greeting, but Jojo is the first one to get close. Only 1.5 years old now and very healthy. They had been adopted by a family who returned them because they were actually too affectionate, and since they we're only allowed the adults' office space, the adults felt that the kitties wanted too much attention during working hours. If Stella and Jojo can have the run of your house they will be amazing companions because you can lock YOURSELF in the office during working hours! 😆

Story
Jazmine is 14 years old, and I adopted her from the shelter when she was about 2 years old. She is slow to warm, but not aggressive when approached. She loves to get pets and love, but not all the time. She will approach people when she wants to be pet. She loves children and has no problem with other cats, or dogs. She likes to sit on her perch and observe. She is very sweet but is mildly stressed out by the other cat she lives with, and has licked off some fur on her tummy and leg, but it will grow back. She is not bonded to the other cat, but they have lived together for 12 years. I am moving and my partner is highly allergic to cats, so she cannot stay in the house. Jazzy has been an indoor only cat since I’ve had her, but she enjoys some leisure time sniffing outside if offered. She was just given the all clear by her vet, and is a healthy girl. She deserves to be snuggled and spoiled for the rest of her life.
