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 $50 which I will return the fee after 6 months. I will also continue to support and follow up with some food after adoption to help them settle in. I am looking for the best, most loving home where they will be safe, cared for, and cherished as a bonded pair.

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.

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
Nora is a very sweet cat. She is about 11 years old. She loves to be pet and to sit on your lap all day. She loves sun beams and window watching. She does not have that kitten energy anymore. She loves to lay around for most of the day, but still likes to chase the occasional toy. She comes to the door and greets you when you come home. She does not like baths, but handles them very well now. She does not mind other cats and dogs, as long as they leave her alone. She prefers people and runs away from other pets. I love her, but our new living situation has several more cats that want to play and roughhouse with her. She is afraid of them and is now always hiding and fearful. She would best thrive in a home without other prts. She has a lot of love to give and is a wonderful cat.

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.

Story
Onyx is a playful, affectionate, and curious cat who loves being involved in whatever his people are doing. We adopted him around one year old, and the shelter described him as “the sidekick,” a description that fits him perfectly. He thrives on companionship and enjoys being part of daily life. He loves meeting new people. Over time, and especially with major household changes, he developed stress-related behaviors that made it difficult for him to coexist safely with other pets and very young children. We have worked closely with our vet for several years and have tried a variety of management and behavioral approaches, but his needs now exceed what our home can safely provide. Onyx would do best as the only pet in a home without very young children. In the right environment, he is a genuinely sweet, playful, and engaging companion. He was our first baby and is deeply loved, and we are committed to finding him a home where he can feel secure, valued, and truly part of the family.
