Story
Loki (M) and Mochi (F) are a sweet, playful, and affectionate bonded pair born in June 2025. They are fully vaccinated, neutered/spayed, and must be adopted together. Loki is curious and friendly, while Mochi is gentle and cuddly — always together. I am fostering them, and the adoption fee is $150, which I will return after 6 months in food. I will also continue to support with some food after adoption to help them settle in. I’m looking for the best, most loving home where they will be safe, cared for, and cherished as a bonded pair.

Hazelnut is a playful, social, and affectionate 1.5-year-old cat who wins people over instantly. He’s curious, confident, and loves being involved in whatever you’re doing. Shake a Churu treat and he’ll come running — every time. Hazel enjoys cuddles, kisses, belly rubs, and has the cutest soft, squeaky voice instead of a typical meow. He loves drinking water from the faucet and lounging nearby while you go about your day. He’s very people-friendly and has never shown aggressive behavior. He has experience with supervised outdoor time, but this is optional, and he can be perfectly happy as an indoor-only cat. Hazelnut is healthy, neutered, fully vaccinated, and full of personality. He would do great in a home looking for a friendly, affectionate, and playful companion.

Story
Benjamin (Benjo) is a gentle, sweet, and intelligent 1.5-year-old cat who takes a little time to warm up — but once he trusts you, he becomes incredibly affectionate. He loves curling up next to his human for naps, asking for belly rubs, and quietly keeping you company throughout the day. Benjo is calm, observant, and emotionally intuitive. He communicates beautifully with eye contact and will softly let you know when he wants attention or a treat. He especially loves wet food and has a funny habit of “negotiating” breakfast in the mornings. He has experience with supervised outdoor time in a safe yard, but he can also be a fully indoor cat. Outdoor access is not required — he simply enjoys fresh air when it’s safe. Benjo is healthy, neutered, fully vaccinated, and well-mannered. He would thrive in a calm, loving home with someone patient and gentle who appreciates a cat that forms a deep bond.

Story
Meet Our Sweet Boy 🐾 He is a rescue cat who has been part of our family since he was just 3 months old. He is incredibly affectionate, gentle, and loving, and he forms strong bonds with the people around him. He is wonderful with children and gets along well with other pets. He is very well-behaved and respectful of the home—he doesn’t scratch or destroy furniture—and he has been a constant source of comfort and companionship to our family. He is low-maintenance and easygoing. He enjoys spending time outdoors, sitting in the sunshine, and taking short, relaxed little wanders before coming back in. Rehoming him is a very difficult decision for us due to our international move, and we are hoping to find him a loving home where he will be cherished as much as he has been with us.

Her name is Hailey. She’s a tuxedo cat and she’s only two years old. We took care of her because the other family she was with couldn’t afford to take care of a cat. She is very friendly and full of energy. She’s curious and love to snuggle. What I’m looking for in a new home is someone who will have good intentions and take good care of her because she needs a home where she can live and be happy. She’s always been a house-cat and being out in the streets isn’t what any cat deserves.

Story
Hello, my name is Sam and I've been fostering Baby, a nine year old Bombay Black female cat for five years. I have two chosen adopted cats (Tiger and Eragon) that I adopted in 2012 and 2015 before I fostered baby. I kept baby because I could not find her a forever home. Due to my circumstances I am no longer able to care for Baby, even though I love her very much and this breaks my heart. I'm hoping to find a forever home for her with a family or person that loves her as much, or more than I do. Baby is a very sweet cat however I believe she should be in a home with no other pets. She's very affectionate with her humans and very talkative. She likes to sleep at the end of your bed or in her cat bed. She loves being pet and gets very excited when you come home. I think Baby would do best in a home with no other to pets. She tolerates Tiger and Eragon, and even plays with them sometimes but also starts fights with them every so often, some of which have gotten pretty bad.
