PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING!   Meet Misty! Hi, I’m Misty! If there’s one thing you should know about me… I am the ULTIMATE snuggle buddy. I love curling up right next to my person, purring softly, and just being your calm little shadow. Whether you’re working from home, relaxing on the couch, or winding down at night, I’ll be there to keep you company. I’ve been told I’m sweet, gentle, and very loyal. I get along fine with kids, especially the older ones who know how to respect my space. I can be a little shy at first, but once I feel safe, I’ll happily soak up all the love you have to give. I promise I’ll make you feel special every single day. A few things about me: -I’m potty trained and very tidy. -I never say no to a yummy meal. -I enjoy quiet naps and laid-back evenings. -I’d prefer a home without dogs. All I really want is a calm, loving home where I can snuggle, nap, and be your loyal best friend. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate girl who will stick by your side, I think we’d be purr-fect together. Love, Misty Adoption FEE: $100 which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines.

Story
Summer is extremely affectionate. She will come for lovies as often as youll give it! She has a fun personality and loves most people and pets. Sometimes she has a problem with my older cat. It may be too busy here for her. I think she'd like more attention than we can give. She does well w the other cats. She loves treats, brushes and pets, and to play. She has tons of energy and is fast! Shes a small kitty, and never gains a pound. She handles kids well, if they're too rough with her, she'll just leave. She has never shown any aggression towards humans. She would make a very loving addition to any home.

Story
Lexi's prior owner's health deteriorated and she's unable to care for Lexi anymore. She had her for 11 years. Lexi just turned 13 in May 2025 but she doesn't look or act like she's 13 and she's in great health. We have been fostering Lexi since her special human went into long term care. Lexi is used to being an only pet and does not get along with our other 3 cats. We want to find a good loving home for Lexi, as an only pet. She loves to be petted, will lay next to you or on your lap, enjoys her toys, adores anything with catnip in it, loves to look out windows, and if you have a lanai she will adore laying in the sunshine and relaxing. She enjoys conversations and will meow her part of the conversation. She can take her toys, blanket, food and water dishes, bag of food, and some of her favorite treats with her to her new home. She would make an excellent companion for someone that wants a beautiful senior indoor cat to keep them company.

Adorable Tuxedo kitten! Ideally we would like to adopt Gucci with one of his sisters or brother. We have 2 Tuxedo kittens, one male & one female, 1 orangish light tan boy tiger/tabby, 1 girl grey tiger/tabby. Tuxedo cats have been owned by Shakespeare, Beethoven and Sir Isaac Newton. Also featured as Felix the Cat, Figaro in Pinocchio and Simon was a heroic cat aboard the British war ship, HMS Amethyst. Simon the tuxedo car was awarded a medal for boosting soldier morale and keeping down the rat population, lol.

Story
Lucy is about one year old (10 lbs) that we rescued. She is very sociable, to the point that she is easily approached by strangers and takes a submissive position towards other cats. She is loving, talkative and really loves petting. She follows you around in the house and love her belly rubbed. She likes to sleep belly up with her mouth a little open which is adorable! She is very playful and likes toys and chasing wands. She was spayed September 5th, 2025. She has had the FVRCP and rabies vaccines. She was also treated with Nextguard single combo (fleas, ticks, and parasites). She is also dewormed. We would keep her if we did not already have five cats.
