Story
Josie, the PussyCat.... Catten, KITTEN. Rescued and Fostered with love. This little gem is about 5 months old. She is super sweet and good with other cats and children. Josie was spayed and vaccinated on 01/16/2026 and is almost ready for her fur-ever home. Josie loves canned Pate' food and gets a bit excited when she's fed. Our best guess is she has had to fend for herself on the streets for months and now she is living the good life! Her adoption fee is $80.

Story
This is London. She's a sweet four-year-old tabby mix. We got her and her sister Paris from a friend about a year ago who'd gotten them from a shelter. When we first got them, they were shy and standoffish, but with time, patience, and petting, they've opened up a lot. They're close to certain people but don’t get along with our other cats and dog. London is particular with her toys. She loves chirping bird toys, lizard toys on string, and catnip toys. She eats any kibble or wet food and only likes certain treats. She's quiet and calm, and if you talk to her, she'll talk back. She's a lovely cat but doesn’t get along well with her sister, and she's recently had peeing problems. She's always been good with the litter box, and we think this is due to stress or too many cats in the house. We think she'd be much happier in a calm home, likely with a single person, couple, or family with older kids, and no other pets. Please contact me by email or text with any questions.
