Don't you just love tuxedo kitties?! This is Mia, who is available for adoption. She's a true Tuxedo with her shiny black and white coat, white socks, little white stripe, and the most adorable black heart on her nose. Mia is about a year and 3 months old. She's loving and playful but is very much independent. Mia is used to living in her foster home with two small dogs and two other cats but would prefer to be the only pet in the household. She would also do better with older kids. Contact us if you're interested in a meet and greet with Mia.

Story
Meet Alice, a gorgeous, 5-month-old muted, grey tabby looking for her forever home. She is very sweet but shy and timid. She has a mild fear of men due to being tossed from a vehicle but seems to warm up to them over time. Alice is a sweet kitten and gets along with the other cats in the foster home. Because of her past history, we feel she would do best in a quiet home with another cat to play and hang out with. If interested in meeting sweet Alice, please let us know so we can arrange a meet and greet visit.

Story
We have a beautiful, muted grey tabby available for adoption. Daphne is approximately 7 months-old and looking for her forever home. Currently, she's living in a foster home with two other cats and has a great time playing with them. Although she also lives with several small children, we think she'd do better with older children as she can have a little bit of a catitude at times. Daphne especially loves to hang out with her foster mom as a keyboard cat. After quitting time, she likes to curl up with her favorite human for some snuggle and cuddle time. She can be a little aloof at times but once she warms up to a person, she imprints on you and wants all your attention. Daphne would be an excellent cat for someone who's retired or works remotely from home. She would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a lap cat. If you'd like to meet her, contact us for a meet and greet.

Story
Sadie is an approximately 2.5-year-old, solid black kitty with pale green eyes. She's an attention-seeking girl with a wonderful personality. While all the other kitties are gobbling up their treats, Sadie is practically doing somersaults to get noticed by our volunteers! She just wants some lovin'. She'll jump onto a nearby shelf and nudge your hand for head and chin scratches. Since we trapped Sadie was in a cat colony, one of her ears is tipped. The plan was to release her back, but she was so friendly we decided to adopt out this lovable kitty. She gets along very well with other cats and would do fine with a small dog. The ideal home would be one with someone who can furnish her with the love and attention she longs for. We would prefer someone who works remotely from home, or a mature person or couple who can a provide a quiet environment to give her the time she needs to adjust. She would be comfortable with older kids, but no small children. If interested in meeting Sadie, contact us to set up a meet and greet.

Story
This is Bubby and he is in need of a new, loving home. Sadly, I have developed allergies to his dander and now require daily medications. Bubby is approx 5 years old, vetted, microchipped, neutered and on flea/tick/heartworm preventative. Recently found out from his new vet that he is FIV+ so he will need to be the only cat in the home or in a home with another FIV + cat. He is a very sweet and loving boy and all he wants to do is be with his human. He loves treats, chin scratches and belly rubs, playing with a laser pointer, and watching the birds through the window on his cat tree. He comes with all supplies (food, litter and litter box, scratching post, toys, and his cat tree). His ideal home would be with someone that is home a lot as he wants to be the center of attention. I hope you will give this sweet boy a good home as he really deserves it. Thank you.

We took Lucky in as a rescue in 2016 and he has been a great addition to our family. Unfortunately, we can no longer keep him and he does need a home where he will be taken care of as soon as possible. He is great with children and does get along with my dog but did not at first. He is also very vocal.

Me and my brother Goliath were left outside when our family moved away and left us behind. A nice neighbor gave us food but we really want to move back inside and have families of our own! After a couple of weeks, my foster parents noticed I drank and urinated alot. They did some bloodwork on me and discovered I have chronic kidney disease. I am so lucky they brought me in and I'm not living on the street anymore! I am so easy going and affectionate. I need special food and a supplement and may need more care in the future to help me manage my kidney disease, but I'm so so worth it. I have so much love to give! ##2036283##

Bela is an alpha. She will try to be in the highest spots possible, she doesn't like other cat's that much, but give her time and she will stop hissing at them. She just needs time. She is very sweet and loves to be held like a baby. If you have a pc or a console, expect her to be there to absorb the heat. Whomever takes her, please take care of her. She is my baby and I want to find the best place for her.
