Story
Meet Pashmina Blu, she is a beautiful 14-year-old senior kitty with the heart of a kitten and a “puppy-like” personality. She is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and loves being around people. She’s small and petite, energetic for her age, and full of charm. She has been part of our family since she was a kitten and has brought so much joy over the years. Sadly, her beloved owner (my father) passed away, and while I have been caring for her, my children have severe allergies and we can no longer keep her. This decision is heartbreaking, and our biggest hope is to find her a gentle, loving home where she can spend her golden years feeling safe and deeply loved. Pashmina Blu is wonderful with kids, enjoys playing with her toys, and absolutely loves tuna. She is friendly, not shy, and has never been aggressive. She has so much love left to give and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal, affectionate cat. We would love to find the perfect match for her.

Story
We adopted Pearl 10 years ago along with her sister Eloise. Shes an amazing cat. Loves to play and gets lots of back scratches. Unfortunately, her sister died two years ago. After six months, we adopted a dog and Pearl is very afraid no matter how we try to introduce them. She now spends most of her time hiding in the basement and only comes out when the dog is in a walk. She has gained a lot of weight but I think with more exercise she would do great. She’s an amazing cat.

Story
Yoshi is 2 years old and he's super sweet. He came to us via Chinatown in Chicago. He was part of a group of stray kittens. He has been with us for two years and we thought we were his forever home. He gets along with 5 of our cats, so generally gets along with other cats, but has taken against one after a dispute over food caused by the other. We have had to isolate him as we can't keep an eye on him 24-7. He is so sweet with people and wants attention from us and we want him to be happy with a family where he can be the "top cat." We are sad to do this, but we think he will be happier where he can have his own dedicated human.

Story
Hope LOVES to snuggle on your lap. So well tempered that she will let you pet her belly! Has never bitten nor scratched. Great for anxiety/stress relief. The sweetest girl ever with no bad bone. She enjoys playing but loves relaxing evenings cuddling. If you look at her photos, you will notice she has two different colored eyes! BONUS: angels & sponsors completely all my personal care, boarding when traveling & medical costs! Found as a kitten with a condition called atresia ani. She got corrective surgery & was adopted into a home where she lived for five years with 5 other pets until her owner had to go into memory care. She ended up back at the shelter & was scheduled for euthanasia but saved just in time! Prefers being the only pet right now. She is considered “special needs” due to her past surgery and weight gain, but she is living a NORMAL HEALTHY life minus occasional accidents (could be UTI related)

Story
Meet Tulip – A Quiet Beauty Ready to Bloom 🌷 Tulip is a stunning, independent girl who is learning the comforts of indoor life one day at a time. Though people can still be a little scary, she’s beginning to enjoy gentle affection and will even seek out a scratch or two when she’s feeling safe. She has a calm, observant nature and prefers to take her time getting to know new surroundings. Tulip coexists peacefully with dogs and isn’t afraid to set polite boundaries when needed. She would thrive in a patient, low-key home where she can adjust at her own pace and continue to grow in confidence. Tulip is being fostered in Madison, AL and will be spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to adoption. If you're looking for a quiet, low-maintenance companion and have a heart for giving a shy cat the time she needs to trust, Tulip may be your perfect match. 💻 Apply to adopt on our website 📧 Questions?
