Story
Shadow was born in the crawl space under my garage in the spring of 2017. He was one of four kittens in his litter, two of whom quickly disappeared. He and a female kitten, along with the mother, made their home in our backyard and in the crawl space. A few years after they took up residence, the mother was struck and killed by a car. The female suffered the same fate in 2023. Shadow has lived his life as an outdoor cat. Though I have provided him with several shelters, including one that was heated, he is uninterested except for the food that I leave to entice him to enter. If he needs refuge during bad weather, he just goes back into the crawl space where he was born. Shadow does well with people once he gets to know them. He likes to be brushed. He is a hunter and has taken out his share of birds and squirrels. He is an amazing creature and is extraordinarily low maintenance.

The best batches of love you could ask for! Introducing: Sassy (The mom cat) and her babies (Flo, and Stormie). Sassy is not only loyal but vocal and the sweetest lap cat you’ll ever meet! However, She wasn’t given the name sassy for a reason; she came from an abusive household that ended up abandoning her. She has learned to trust which has opened her heart up to abundance of love. Blythe (the first kitten) like her mother is rambunctious and playful, there’s never a dull moment. Her zoomies are a sight to see. Flo is very sweet, though she can throw down when you wave a feather toy across her face! But! When it’s time to cuddle, she would much rather be doing that. Last but not least! Stormie! Much like Blythe, she LOVES to play, but she has a cute way of admiring her human. She’s so sweet and loyal, her favorite place to be is your shoulder for nap time. Ready for a loyal companion! Come on down! :)*Important note: The two individual pictures of the kittens are the ones for grabs :)

She's a really sweet kitty who often responds to her name. She's playful and curious and is always down to chase a toy. She can be easily held and sometimes prefers it. Happy and willing to snuggle on a shaggy blanket with plenty of treats. Prefers to be the only pet but can get along with another cat if necessary.

Story
Our family adopted a stray cat that had started sleeping on our porch during a week where it was freezing overnight. We didn’t realize she was pregnant. When it became obvious she was pregnant, we let her stay to have the babies at our house so she wouldn’t have the babies during a cold night outside. She had six beautiful kittens. We need to find homes for two of them, an orange and white kitten and a tuxedo kitten. They have been socialized with my children and our puppy and do extremely well with both! We love them so much and wish we had the room to keep them. We hope to find a good home for them here.

Story
Shaydo is generally a sweetheart and in the experience i've had with him, he loves to rub against you. I got him from a coworker's sister who passed and he had been left in the house alone. He's generally very sweet. The coworker told me he would pick him up in a few weeks, but ended up moving away himself and left me with the cat. While I love this cat, I am moving myself and cannot bring him with me. I know he is not neutered and has very rough skin, furless spots, and a flea problem, but aside from that, does not seem unwell or abnormal. He sleeps a lot like a normal cat and when you open a can of wet food, he goes crazy like a normal cat. He isn't usually aggresive when meeting new people, the kids at my current home met him and after a bit of shyness, he melted into them. He has only hissed when I saw him hiding, which makes me think he was frightened by me or someone suddenly, but other than that, he's been really sweet.
