Story
Felix was born near an Amazon facility. He and his sister were wondering the trailer yard a few days before they were caught and cared for. They were a month old. Felix is now 10 months old and still playful as ever. When it’s dinner time, he so excited and growls as he eats. He’s a cuddler but only for a little while until he’s meowing to get out.

Story
Pilot was found in engine area of vehicle as kitten in Nov 2023. Got loose in house. We earned trust over these months and now able to pet Pilot but not yet pick him up. He’s still playful and now wants to be near or next to us. Unfortunately we have a large dog who is curious, which means Pilot doesn’t get the attention he craves. Pilot needs a home and companionship.

Story
Gracie is a snuggler and a very loving companion, but she needs a home where she is the only cat. She was separated from her sister before we adopted her and has been reluctant to make friends with any other kitties for years since, to the point where she becomes reclusive and hides away until she can be alone with her humans. This has made it harder for her to enjoy life with our two other cats. We love Gracie but want her to feel secure with a loving family she can call her own.

Story
Meet Saint, a 5-year-old, male Domestic Short Hair cat with a gentle soul, looking for a fresh start. He has soft fur with black striped accents and eyes full of love. Known for his affectionate nature, Saint has been a cherished companion, offering comfort and joy over the last 5 years. Unfortunately, due to changes in our circumstances leading to his separation anxiety and behavioral challenges leading him to not use his litter box, we seek a new, loving home for him. Ideal candidates are patient, often home, and preferably without other pets, offering Saint the constant care he requires. We'll provide his medical history, belongings, and support for a smooth transition. If you're ready to give Saint a caring environment, let's discuss his adoption.

Story
Leia is 3 years old, her birthday is October 26th, 2020! She is a very sassy little lady. She takes time to warm up to others so I’m looking for someone who has experience and patience for cats that can be a bit on the more shy and anxious side. Once she warms up to you, it’s like she’s your second shadow!

Story
Doda was bought at a shelter 3 years ago, we were looking for a little friend to take home on Valentine’s Day and she was the one! She’s had a wonderful life with us here but due to a surprise pregnancy, we aren’t able to accommodate her the way we used to. She is a loving cat who enjoys cuddling on the bed or a nice blanket on a couch, she loves her toys and can’t get enough of those chicken snackies! We are looking for a home for her that she can feel safe, loved, and genuinely cared for in. Doda’s legal name is turtle dove but it didn’t seem to fit, and so we named her after the Greek meaning for “well-loved” which she truly is and deserves to be.
