Story
Meet Jynx, Shes had one owner and shes always been so loved and prioritized. She’s currently 10. Adopted at 3 months. Shes loves to play with rubber bands,catnip pickles, toy mouses, strings and playing with the light glare from the sun hitting the phone. Her favorite places to be is underneath the bed,cardboard box, outside on a patio or warm concrete and in pillow/blanket forts. She loves poofy soft sherpa blankys, she makes biscuits..Shes been around dogs& a bird before, doesn’t do well with both. With other cats is unknown. I want her to live in a good size quiet home, someone who can spend time with her and play with her. Shes such a sweet baby& will need time adjusting. I am looking for someone patient for my baby, someone who will love her unconditionally. She loves when you talk to her while prepping her food, and having company while eating. She likes to get rubs behind her ears/side of her jaw and she loves to be loved/loves to cuddle when she trusts you. Requires patience.

Story
Katt is 5yrs old and is a very curious and mellow cat. Katt has a habit of sneaking into every nook and crany of the house, he loves to find somewhere high up for a nap. And if you have anything new he'll make it his business to inspect it. His favorite way to play is when he feels like a hunter. Katt does well in most situations he was raised as an indoor cat; But he does get let outside every now and again and I could easily see him becoming an indoor/outdoor if you wanted. He does well with most animals he just tends to just ignore them the same goes for children; The house he's lived his whole life in has 7 kids 3 other cats and four dogs so he's used to a loud and crowded home. The only thing I advise be careful about is if you have other male cats in your home. When there is multiple males there can be territorial issues and Katt likes to be at the top of the food chain. So I'd suggest Caution if you already have a male cat.

Story
This beautiful lap kitty was found at our construction company. He was limping around but wasn't consistently showing up for us to feed him. Eventually he showed up every morning so I was able to take him to the vet to get checked for microchip. There was none & no one claimed him from the shelter. We're guessing someone dumped him here.Once he received shots, got neutered & had tests run, I found out that he has diabetes & is FIV +. I would love to keep him but he doesn't seem to get along with other pets. I already have 3 cats & 2 dogs at home as well as a rescue cat at work. I really just want to find a home where he can be the only pet. He is VERY loving, he loves to be pet & brushed. Loves to lay on your lap. He needs to stay indoors due to the compromised immune system. He only needs insulin once a day. I'm happy to get him micro-chipped when adopted & pay for ongoing insulin/prescription food. He can come with all of his "furniture". My only request is to get some updates on him

Meet this handsome ginger-striped boy! 🧡 He is neutered and microchipped and is looking for a loving new home.He is a very chill, independent cat who mostly keeps to himself, but he absolutely loves being pet and getting attention on his own terms. He gets along well with other cats. I’m unsure how he does with dogs, so a slow introduction would be recommended.He is not a cat who enjoys being picked up — he will usually jump out of your arms — but he is very sweet and affectionate when he comes to you on his own.✨ Neutered✨ Microchipped✨ Good with cats✨ Unsure about dogs✨ Very chill and independent✨ Loves being pet✨ Ginger/orange striped coatI’m looking for a safe, loving home where he can be comfortable and cared for. 🧡

Story
Benito (Benny) is a nice cat. He is an indoor cat with supervised outdoor time since he is not used to being outside. He is very playful and talkative. He is used to eating in the morning and in the evening. Funny thing about him is he would start dropping things if he is hungry or just basically meow at you once hungry. He likes to eat very hungry cat. I would love his forever home to treat him with love and respect because this is a hard choice for me to surrender him. Benito is very chill not a problematic cat he can be around cats once used to the his new forever home. He can be around dogs if they are gentle with him. He is a sleepy cat ,very loving ,not aggressive at all and likes to cuddle and sleep with you. Honestly just take great care of him and make him feel at home with love and respect. Nicknames would be: Hermoso or Benny Preferred Food: Iams cat food Chicken or Salmon

Story
Caught 3 kittens in my front yard and they are almost 12 weeks old. Lily, Pickels, Mocha. 2 girls and 1 boy. They all need homes. Sweet babies who love to play. Lily had really pretty black and orange markings around her face. She is the biggest of the 3 so her siblings look up to her. She seems pretty independent and when playing with her she purrs and kneads dough and brushes her body against every surface.
