Story
This is Lily! Lily was found under a van in the heat of summer at roughly two weeks old roughly 12years ago. I have had her since and she has been amazing! Lily is an indoor cat mainly- we do have a doggie door she loves to exit to suntan and roam the yard once in awhile- lily always stays within the yard. Lily loves to be snuggled and brushed- and has a little personality that we just love- she enjoys one on one time esp with those who feed her! Recently Lily has been treated for dental issue- which resulted in a loss a majority of her teeth. Since the procedure she has bounced back and roams like a young kitten. She tolerates regular food and soft food well- Lily is a fantastic cat- no issues on her side! Unfortunately as a pet owner we have dogs that just torment her and it breaks my heart esp at her age! Lily deserves a stress free home and we hope to find a more peaceful one for her- we do plan to keep her if one is not found but hope she can bring joy to someone else

Story
Garfield was found in an empty lot when a rescuer went to rescue some doggies in the lot. He was there with the doggies, and she couldn’t leave him behind. Garfield is very calm and chill, a very sweet boy. He is very friendly with other cats and dogs too, and enjoys being picked up, held, and pet.  ##2191128##

Story
Hello! My name is Moxxie! I was actually found as a stray in the Denver metro area when I followed a nice lady home one day. Let me tell you a little bit about myself! I can be affectionate but also love my independence. I love sunning myself in the window. I would be just fine as the only cat in the house as I'm scared of the other cats here, even the kittens. I am litterbox trained. I'm ready to find my furever home!  ##2122072##

Story
Since Summer, Sox had been visiting a kind neighbor to eat as an unneutered, very skinny stray. He was friendly, let her pet him and seemed he might not want to be living outside so she brought him in and he's doing well! Sox loves to be held and get lots of pets. He uses the litter box great. Sox is frisky at night and loves to play with his rescuers before bed. He can also be very vocal at night- perhpaps still talking to his street friends while he continues to acclimate to the indoors. Sox is still learning gentle play so would likely not be suitable with children quite yet. He is currently quarantined from the other felines in the house so we're not yet sure on how he gets along with his own kind, but he loves the dog he is living with! Sox is looking for his furever home, or at least a new foster, after 10/26/2024 when he's scheduled to be neutered, vaccinated, chipped and tested. ##2208286##

Story
Naomi is a beautiful 11-year-old cat who has recently experienced a difficult loss. Her sister, who she was very close to, passed away, and since then, Naomi has been feeling a bit down. While she shares her home with a dog, they haven’t quite bonded, and it has limited her ability to get the exercise, playtime, and attention she needs. Naomi thrives on affection and enjoys playful moments, but the presence of my dog prevents her from fully being herself. She would flourish in a quiet, dog-free home where she can be the center of attention, getting all the love and care she deserves. If you’re looking for a loving and gentle companion who will bring warmth and joy to your life, Naomi is ready to find her new forever home. Could you be the one to help Naomi heal and rediscover her happiness?

Story
Kona is around 10 years old and the sweetest cat I’ve ever met. She was my grandparents cat and when they become too old I took her in. I have tried for months to get her and my other cats the get along. Her quality of life with the other cats is unfair. She is the sweetest and cuddliest cat ever and would do so well in a home with NO ANIMALS. She’s my childhood cat and it’s so hard for me to do this but she deserves a better life than hiding from the other cats. She’s up to date on all vaccinations and is in very good health. Litter box trained and eats well but might keep you in the night snuggling your face.
