Story
This is Luna, a cuddly loud fur ball. She loves to sleep, eat, and play with anything round all day. She is often a loner but loves to be cuddled on her own terms. She is a very sweet cat once she becomes used to your presents. She was adopted as an 8 week old kitten and is a spunky one your old that has all the energy in the world, when she's not napping. I am hoping she goes to a slow paced home with someone to give her a lot of cuddles and treats.

Story
Meet Butters 🧈 Butters is a sweet, people loving kitty who enjoys being picked up and staying close to her favorite humans. She does best when she has her main people to bond with and will warm up deeply to them over time. While she may be a little unsure around new guests at first, she gains confidence once she feels safe and settled. She gets along well with other cats and would be happy in a multi-cat home. Butters loves lounging and relaxing, but dont let her calm side fool you shes also a curious kitten who enjoys exploring and playing when the mood strikes. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who loves being part of the family, Butters could be the perfect fit. 🐾

Story
These adorable little girls were found on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere with no house in sight. They were wet, cold, and very tiny. They have thrived in foster care. They are friendly, outgoing, affectionate and have been loved and well cared for. They are a bonded pair so it is important for them to stay together. Petunia is the discoverer of the pair. She is inquisitive and is first to find new mischief. She loves chasing strings and playing with her toy mouse. Paisley is the cuddly one. She is also very outgoing but she is the first one to leave the food bowl and seek human interaction. She loves to be held and cuddle. Both kittens have been Vet checked and dewormed. They tested negative for FEL-FIV Feline Leukemia & Immunodeficiency Virus Antibody. They were found to be very healthy and have cute round tummies, clear eyes and soft fur. They are truly special 💕

Story
Rome is 3 years old. She is curious, smart, fearless, playful and loves laps to nap in. She was originally my daughter's cat but she needs access to the outdoors. She was not happy being confined to an apartment. Once we took her in, she was much more relaxed and happy being able to go outside- she uses the dog door - since we took her in back in April 2025. She gets along great with our 2 dogs, even rubbing against them or sleeping with them. The reason we are having to rehome her is she is not getting along with one of our other cats. We do have another cat who she does not bother at all - basically ignores her. She will need access to the outdoors in her new home. She is very picky foodwise and will only eat 1 brand of wet food, and 1 brand of dry.

Story
Athena and Freya are a playful and affectionate bonded pair, around 6-months old. They're spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and eager for a forever family. Athena takes a little longer to adjust, but is very sweet and gentle once she bonds with you. She warms up quickly if offered heated blankets and weekly brushings, and will usually want to sleep in bed with you. They'd prefer to be the only pets in the house (reptiles included, as I've learned 😅), and do well with older kids. Loves laser pointers, wand toys of all kinds, cat grass, bird plushies, and pretty much anything chicken flavored. Can be adopted for a single rehoming fee of $100. MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER.
