Story
This amazing girl is named Nezuko (Nezzy) for short. She is 3 years old and is a very loving, energetic, goofy, and just all around a good companion. She would be great in a home that has a little space for her to get her zoomies out, a nice window she can sit and look out of, she enjoys doing both of those a lot.

Story
Odin is a stunning grey gentleman whose beauty goes far beyond his velvety coat and bright, soulful eyes. He’s a cat who believes the world is meant to be loved—deeply, warmly, and often. If you sit down, Odin will be there. If you reach out, he will lean in. And if you offer a chin rub? Well… you’ve just become his favorite person. He has a special friend he carries everywhere: his beloved elephant toy. It’s his comfort, his companion, and a reminder that even the smallest things can bring big joy. Much like Odin himself. Odin is also FELV+, which isn’t a cancer—just a virus that lives in his bloodstream. It simply means he may need a bit of extra care when he gets sick. But it doesn’t dim his spirit, his sweetness, or his hope for a forever home. Odin may have had a rough start, but his heart remains wide open. All he needs now is someone to open theirs in return. If you’re looking for a tender, loyal companion with endless affection to give, Odin is waiting. 🐘💙✨

Story
Meet Hopscotch — the Playground Pro! Born on April 23, 2025, this bouncy orange tabby boy got his name honestly. At 6 months old, he was spotted right on a school playground, happily trotting from kid to kid like he was joining recess. Hopscotch wasn’t shy—he was introducing himself to everyone, hoping one of those friendly faces would be his forever family. Luckily, a sweet young teacher noticed this brave little explorer and scooped him up before the cold weather could chase him away. Since then, Hopscotch has been soaking up all the love he can get. He’s decided dogs are pretty okay, and he absolutely loves running and pouncing with the family cats—like his own furry game of tag. And just like any good playground buddy, he knows when it’s time to switch from play to cuddle. After supper, Hopscotch loves being held like a baby, giving soft, sweet-eye looks and powering up his biggest purrs. But don’t let his gentle side fool you—this boy has a spot-on sense of time. If mealtime is even a minute late, Hopscotch will kindly “ding-dong” you with his best reminders. With his bright orange coat and sunshiney personality, he’s ready to jump into his next adventure. This gorgeous tabby can’t wait to meetp his forever family—and he’s already saving a spot for you in his next game of hopscotch. 💛🐾

Story
Meet Jet! 🖤 Jet is a silky black gentleman with a soft heart to match his sleek coat. He is quite shy and takes time to open up at first, but once he feels safe and comfortable, his playful personality shines through! Jet especially loves chasing wand toys and engaging in gentle playtime with his trusted humans. He is very affectionate but because the busy shelter environment was a bit overwhelming for him, one of our wonderful fosters welcomed Jet into their home, where he’s been able to relax and show us more of his sweet side. Jet will thrive in a home with no other animals and an owner that can love on him and give him the time and space he needs to fully blossom. Once he trusts you, you’ll be rewarded with a loyal and affectionate companion. If you’d like to meet Jet, please fill out an application below!

🐾 **Meet Mother Goose: A Tale of Whiskers and Wonder** Once upon a time, on a warm Texas morn, A dear little cat was weary and worn. She wandered the streets, round San Antonio town, With a belly quite round and her spirits down. But lo! Kind hearts at Charming Pet came near, Gave her shelter and love, wiped away every tear. 'Twas there she gave birth to her sweet kitten crew, And raised them with grace as good mothers do. Now her tale takes a turn, a new chapter awaits— No more bustling nursery, no baby debates. At just 2 or 3, she’s full of delight, With a sunny-day nap and cuddles at night. She’s gentle, she’s kind, a heart full of cheer, And not at all picky when it’s dinnertime, dear. Playful and warm, with a charm so divine, She’ll curl at your feet and make your life shine. So if you’ve a home where a queen might repose, Mother Goose will gift you love that overflows. Her nest is now empty, her job is complete— She’s looking for you, to make her life sweet. 📜 Adopt Mother Goose, and let your story begin.
