Story

Baga is a very brave little cat who has often come to our home to eat the food we put out for outdoor cats. We watched him grow up slowly — from following his mom to eat, to eventually coming on his own. Over time, he grew stronger and more confident, and he would often sit by the window and “talk” to our own cat. Even from the beginning, he wasn’t very afraid of us. Seeing his personality and potential, we decided to give him the chance for a better life through TNR, and possibly help him find a loving home. We carefully implemented this plan, and after some gentle socialization, Baga has transformed into a very affectionate and friendly cat. Today, he is extremely warm, enthusiastic, and loves interacting with people. Baga has grown from a cautious outdoor kitten into a confident, loving companion, ready to bring joy to a forever home.

Story

Blue is a special cat because of his friendly loving personality. He always wants hugs. He doesn’t meow often but he’ll softly meow to let you know it’s okay to hold him. He’s incredibly good in the house. He doesn’t scratch furniture. He only scratches the scratch pad we got him. He likes to drink running water. His diet consists of kibble only. Incredibly good house cat. Unfortunately my allergies are growing worse and it’s not reasonable for me to keep the cats in the house. Looking for a loving home for our dear blue. Thank you for looking - Curtis

Story

Lulu is a sweet and curious boy around 3 years old. He was adopted from another rescue center and has grown into a playful, affectionate, and confident cat. He loves interacting with people, enjoys playtime, and is very cuddly once he gets to know you. Lulu is not shy around strangers and adapts quickly to new environments. He uses the litter box reliably and has great indoor manners. He would do best in a loving indoor home where he can receive plenty of attention and playtime. Lulu is already neutered and healthy, and he's ready to bring joy and companionship to his new family. 🐾💛

Story

This is Bunny, she is a sweet talkative gal! I got her back in 2016, and she’s been a part of our family and home since. She was indoors for most of her life but the last 3 years or so she started going outside during the day but at night she sleeps inside the garage where she’s happy to be away from the other cats in the home but she doesn’t mind them I think she just likes to be a solo lady. She’s very lovey and will roll over and let you give her all the scratches and loves. She will let you hold her and she’ll be your cuddle bug. She is a lazy bug but still is playful on her terms of course she’s a talker to! Unfortunately I have to move and can’t take her with me so I just want her to go to a good home where someone can give her all the love and cuddles she deserves! She uses her litter box and has no issues

Story

Cheeto is a sweet and affectionate 4-year-old cat who absolutely loves being around people. He has a gentle nature, especially with children, and is incredibly patient and well-behaved around our toddler. We also have an older cat and recently welcomed a newborn into our family. With two young kids and full-time jobs we’ve found it increasingly difficult to give both cats the attention and care they truly deserve. As much as it breaks our hearts, we’re hoping to find a warm, loving home for Cheeto where he’ll be cherished and well cared for. He’s a wonderful companion and would thrive in a home where he can be part of the family and receive lots of love. If you think you could be that home, we’d love to hear from you! P.S. Cheeto is also quite the little hunter. He’s always on the lookout and won’t let a single fly get past him!

Wilbur

American Shorthair

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Wilbur is a domestic shorthair male cat around 1.5 years old. He has all immunization records up to date for October 2026, is neutered and litterbox trained. He had a comfortable and trauma-free life before, and should be very well adjusted to new environments (Aggression is probably NOT even in his vocabulary due to his peaceful life before). He has peacefully lived with a large Labrador dog before. He is very friendly with his primary owner, but is shy to new people, loud noises or other over stimulation. He has not lived with children before, but I am highly confident he will enjoy living with children. Wilbur has been mostly an indoor cat with very occasional unsupervised outdoor times. He does not actively ask for attention unless he is hungry, but will NOT shy away or become defensive if you want to cuddle with him or pick him up. He very much enjoys chasing the laser pointer and any other moving objects. He especially enjoys the Churu treats.
