Story
Pickles is a complete love bug who just wants pets all day. She is a calm, laid back, sweet girl who needs a new home in which she can thrive and come out of her shell. She is a shy darling, and will need a gentle patient hand to help her get comfortable. She is nervous around new cats. With the right cat and proper introduction process she could do well, but it is ideal for her to be the only cat in the household. She may be a bit shy around new dogs, but should not have an issue so long as they do not chase. Any children she may be around should understand they must be gentle with her. Pickles is only about 3 years old, and ready to spend the rest of her years in a loving home. Please contact me with any questions about her.

Story
Hi my name is Safari and i’m a loving, energetic kitty. I am now 10 months, I love playing with my toys and eating treats. Sometimes i like to run around and i hope you can keep up. Safari is an orange tabby, she was fostered due to capacity and resources. She was kept for a little because she needed more tender loving care to help her socialize with different aged humans. She’s now ready for her furever home.

Meet sativa the tortoise shell cat, she a very kind and loving pet. Sativa is roughly around 2 years old, it’s been about six months since she’s last had her shots. We’ve been watching sativa for a friend but they never came back for her. I would love to keep her but we have another cat in the home the doesn’t get along with her and our landlords won’t allow us to add another cat on the lease.

Story
Charlie was saved from a dumpster when she was just a kitten two and a half years ago; she is probably almost 3 now. She is very loving and will curl up on the bed with you to go to sleep. Unfortunately, we now have too many cats and are no longer able to keep all of them and are having to make the difficult decision of which of our kitties to part with. Please help us find Charlie her new forever home.

Junior was born in the house with us and is almost 2 years old. We named her Junior because she looks almost like her mother. She loves attention and will curl up on your lap to sleep. She will also meow and let you know when she wants attention. While we would love to keep her, we find that we have more kitties than allowed and we want to find her a new loving home where she will be loved the way we love her. Please help us find her a new, forever home.

Story
Cleopatra was originally captured as part of a TNR program, but while she was in holding someone showed interest in adopting her. Unfortunately, the adoption fell through so she is back to being fostered. She is friendly with other cats, and would make a great companion cat in a home that has other cats. She is not entirely friendly to people, as she tends to run away or hide in open spaces, or when in a closed space may swat if she feels threatened. She likes to be scratched with a wand toy and likes to be brushed, yet does not like hands being near her space. Currently I am working on socializing her and tackling her aggression issues. Most of this stems from being a previously outdoor cat and not having a lot of exposure to human contact. She has not shown any aggression toward cats, in fact, she tries to rub on and cuddle with the other cats in the apartment at any opportunity. She needs someone who has experience with cats, and patience to socialize her; home with cats preferred!

Story
About 1 year old and full of energy this little guy is very vocal and loves having his chin scratched. He may be a bit much for other cats as he does display alpha traits and would likely do best as a solo cat. He is slowly coming around to indoor life as he was found outside, uses litter boxes fine, wears a collar with no issue, and very passionate about feeding time. The adoption fee is to help recoup some of the vet costs to get him up to date on shots and neutered.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.    Sissy is a real sweetie! We just love her so much! Now that she knows and trusts us, she meets us when we come in and stands up adorably on her back feet and leans back in your hand for head rubs. It’s truly adorable! We’ve never seen another cat do this in our history of cats. She’s a little butter ball too. She wobbles when she walks but, still loves to play with small toys and the lazer. She is very loving and loves attention and being talked to. She gets along great with other cats too. She’s is the best little girl and needs and deserves a wonderful, loving, forever home with a family or person that will love her as much as we do and give her lots of attention. If you think you may be Sissy’s person, please fill out an application for her and contact me (Angela her foster).

Story
A Home For Tux. POV: TUX Hi, I'm Tux. That's the oh so "original" name my current foster family gave me. How creative, right? Here's the deal: I need a home. A forever home. SOOO tired of this placement and just want to be RID of these people. Yes, they feed me. Yes, they play with me. And yes, they are kind and loving and blah blah blah... But I want a family of my own. I am so sweet and love to be doted on, but here's the rub: ALL of my fellow cat housemates annoy me. When I was a new kitten, I was scared to death of everything and hissed at whomever came near me. I isolated a lot and didn't really want anyone bugging me. These other furballs I share a house with couldn't understand that and would not leave me be! Alwyas trying to groom me, and clean me and...forgive the over share...SMELL places they shouldn't! So, I may have not been so nice and approachable as I could have been but they would not let up! I just needed my space!! Now? When I want to socialze? All they want to do is eat my food and sit in my tree. No Ma'am! That is off limits! So, Foster mom keeps me separated in my own room. It's a nice room, with a couch under big window I can sit on and watch the birds and squireels, and there is always soft music playing with plenty of treats, food and water...but it's a room. I'm lonely. I want out. I love people, I just take some time to adjust to change. I am sure I would love other cats eventually, I just don't like my housemates (although truth be told I'd probably prefer being on only for a bit, as long as I got a ton of attention. ) I do love to play! Lasers and squeek mice and I LOVE to loaf while petted. (I also happen to have the softest fur EVER!! Just saying...) There has to be someone who will give me a chance? Someone with patience and an experienced adopter? If it doesn't work out, I can always come back here. If anyone wants to meet me please PM my Foster Mom. She will cry when I leave but she knows it would be for the best! 💜 (I do have an adoption fee but that is just to keep some Coconut from trying to get me! I have all my shots, and fixed and microchipped too. )

Story
Courtesy post I’m trying to find a loving forever home for this sweet girl, Salem. She’s only about 1 year old. I first found her over the summer and I’ve spent a lot of time working with her to get her ready for adoption. She was a stray and absolutely terrified of people including me and with baby steps, lots of patience, and working at her pace, I’ve gotten her to be a happy house cat. She is a sweetheart but will require someone with a lot of patience while she learns to trust you. She absolutely loves my three boy cats and they get along great so I think it would be best for her to go to a home with other cats. She’s timid and won’t be the a snuggly lap cat, but she will come to you and ask for pets when she wants them. If you or anyone you know is looking to adopt a cat, please let me know! I’ve fallen in love with her while fostering and I’m hopeful I can find her a home🩷 She is fixed and up to date on shots 😊 Rehoming fee of $50
