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
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!

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.

Story
Affectionate, people-loving cat who enjoys long cuddles but also gives you space when you need it. He has an excellent temperament — calm, gentle, and easygoing — and truly enjoys being around people. Born March 2023, neutered, and indoor-only. He has no behavioral issues, is litter-box trained, healthy, and well cared for. An easy companion who fits naturally into daily life and would do especially well in a home looking for a relaxed, social cat.

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
