Story
Max was a super friendly stray that I took in when the weather turned cold. He has adjusted to indoor life really well - he loves to play with a wand toy and loves a bit of catnip. My two older cats are not impressed with his teenage energy, however, so we hope to find him a loving home where he can play without judgment.

Story
Ginger was adopted in July 2025. He was thought to be a little over a year old. He had been in the shelter for over a month, left with another cat who was adopted. In the shelter Ginger was very frightened and disengaged. At home, he is curious and playful. He loves his mouse toy and his scratch pads. He allows me to clip his nails regularly. A substantial beefcake; Ginger is nearing 20 pounds. He’ll let you know if you’re unsure about breakfast or dinner time. Shy at first, once Ginger has warmed up to you he likes to be carried around, to be brushed, and to watch you. He is good with calm dogs. Introduction to my resident cat has not gone well, though. Ginger would do best as the only cat in your home.

Story
Miso is a good cat we just had a baby and are struggling to find the time for the attention he needs. Also he has a bit of a fetish for paper towels, tissues, and or napkins. He eats them. also has a deep desire to consume formula this has included burp cloths and a onesie. Without these things he is well behaved animal and i think with more attention most of the bad behaviors would go away. I would also like to add we have a kennel and a litter box tat would be available to come with the little guy. We let him out of the kennel when the baby stuff is not around and he is well behaved without supervision. I know that if he was in a home that he was the only cat or you just have lots of love and time he would bring joy to your life. He also loves a fishing pole toy will play until you are tired. Miso likes all costumes we have tried on him. We found him he was 2 weeks old and if we had the time we would not be rehoming him but we just don't have a choice.

I acquired Sage from a friend. She’s very sweet, friendly, loves being held or just cuddled. She is 4 months old and has a big appetite I only feed her twice a day so I don’t over feed her but she loves to eat. Her birthday is September 28th.

Story
Rusty was born in April of 2024. He is currently a year and 9 months old. He is very sweet with a side of mischievous to him. I have bought him numerous toys since I have had him but, he prefers to play with q tips, and really enjoys cat nip. He is very silly and overall a very great cat. I have to travel for work and often times have to leave on very short notice and it has been challenging arranging care for him while I am gone. That is why I am choosing to re home him. He will be coming with a hard and soft shell cat carrier, his food, a litter box (if you want/ need it), as well as the litter he currently has left over
