Story
Bella is a very timid cat who likes to be left alone. She can be very playful and can be affectionate when she warms up. She does not get along with cats, dogs, and has a low tolerance for children. She loves to be up high on top of her cat tower. She loves lasers, strings, and stuffed toys. Absolutely love treats of any kind. She is very shy at first and will come around on her terms. Shes more of a night owl and runs and plays around the house. Being around other pets will lead to constant battles. Shes a very sweet cat but i cannot keep her with my other animals. We have had her almost a year and have not found a healthy way for all the animals to live in one house.

Story
My name is Galaxy, and I'm looking for my forever home! When you first meet me, you'll notice my striking black and white coat, but what everyone really remembers is how much I love to cuddle. Seriously, if you're looking for personal space, I might not be your guy – I'm all about being right where you are, all the time! I've never met a lap I didn't like, and I'll follow you from room to room just to be near you. Feeling down? I'll be there with my purr machine turned up to maximum. Working on your computer? I make an excellent keyboard assistant (though my typing skills need work). Watching TV? I'm the perfect viewing companion who just happens to occasionally block the screen when pets are required! Life hasn't always been easy for me. I had a serious medical issue with constipation that has left me incontinent for poop. I still use my litter box perfectly for peeing, but my new family will need to understand that I need a little extra care in the poop department. Some people might see this as a challenge, but I promise my endless affection and companionship more than make up for it. Despite my medical challenges, I wake up every day with a heart full of love and gratitude. All I want is someone who will accept me as I am and give me a chance to show them just how special our bond can be. Are you the one I've been waiting for? I promise to fill your home with purrs, cuddles, and so much love you won't know what to do with it all. I may have special needs, but I have an extra special capacity for love too. Will you be my forever family?May 19, 2025, 4:38 pm

Story
Meet Feather! Hello there. I'm Feather, and I need to tell you something important: I may be small, but I have a VERY big job. I'm the smallest kitten in my family, and I'm the only girl among my five brothers - Ardana, Feathertail, Ashwing, Crowfeather, and Flameheart. And you know what? I take my role as their little sister VERY seriously. When Ashwing gets scared, I stay close to him so he knows he's not alone. When my brothers are playing too rough, I'm the one who makes sure everyone's okay. When there's a strange noise, I'm the first one to check if my boys need protecting - even though I'm half their size and my heart is beating really fast. I know what you're thinking: "Feather, you're tiny and you're a bit shy yourself. Why are you trying to protect everyone?" Well, because they're MY brothers. And when you love someone, you show up for them. Even when you're nervous. Even when you're the smallest. Don't get me wrong - I'm not super confident around new people yet. I'm a little shy, and I might need a moment to warm up to you. But here's the difference between me and truly shy cats: I don't stay scared. I DECIDE to be brave. For my brothers. And eventually, for you too. What I'm trying to say is: I have so much love in this tiny tabby body, and I've been using it to take care of my brothers. But deep down? I'd really like someone to take care of ME for once. Someone who sees that the smallest one can have the biggest heart. Someone who'll appreciate that I'm gentle and cautious, but fiercely loyal. I'm looking for a home where I can finally be someone's baby instead of always being the brave one. Where I can be protected instead of doing all the protecting. Will you be my person? I promise I'll be yours.November 26, 2025, 12:39 am

Story
Meet Flameheart! Hi... I'm Flameheart, and I have a confession: I know my name sounds really brave and strong, but... I don't always FEEL brave and strong. I'm a big orange boy - like, I'm genuinely one of the bigger kittens in my litter. People expect me to be bold and confident because of my size. But here's the truth? Inside this big fluffy body is a gentle soul who gets overwhelmed pretty easily. The world is loud and unpredictable, and sometimes I just want to hide behind my siblings and let THEM be the brave ones. I'm what you might call a "mushy boy" - I'm soft in every way. Soft fur, soft heart, soft personality. I WANT to be close to you, I WANT to trust you, I WANT to cuddle up and be your big baby... I'm just scared to take that first step. But you know what helps? FOOD. Oh my goodness, food! When the food bowl comes out, suddenly the world doesn't seem so scary. Food means safety. Food means love. Food means maybe everything is going to be okay. If you want to win my heart (and it's absolutely available for winning), the way in is definitely through my stomach. Here's what I dream about: a person who won't judge me for being a sensitive guy. Someone who understands that big doesn't mean fearless. Someone patient enough to let me come to them at my own pace - maybe with some tasty treats to help me along the way. Someone who'll let me be their gentle giant, their big mushy boy who just needs a little extra reassurance that the world is safe. I have SO much love to give. It's all stored up in here, just waiting for someone who'll help me feel brave enough to share it. Will you be gentle with my big, soft heart? November 26, 2025, 12:39 am

Story
Meet Ardana! Hello, friend! I'm Ardana, and I just want you to know that I think you're FASCINATING! Actually, I think everything is fascinating. That crinkly sound? Fascinating. That shadow on the wall? Need to investigate immediately. Your shoelaces? EXTREMELY fascinating and possibly dangerous - don't worry, I'll protect you by attacking them. I'm a gorgeous orange boy with a personality to match my sunny coloring. I'm what you might call "aggressively friendly" - which means I WILL come say hello to you, I WILL want to know what you're doing at all times, and I WILL assume that any new person, toy, or cardboard box was placed in my world specifically for my entertainment and investigation. Curiosity killed the cat? Not this cat! Curiosity makes me the BEST cat because I'm always up for an adventure. Got a paper bag? I need to explore it. Hear a weird noise? I'm already on the case. New room in the house? I volunteer as tribute to scope it out first! But here's the best part - I'm not just curious, I'm FRIENDLY curious. I don't investigate from a distance like some aloof feline. No, I'm right there with you, probably headbutting your hand for pets while simultaneously trying to figure out what that interesting thing behind you is. I'm looking for a home where someone appreciates a kitten who thinks life is one big exciting mystery to solve - preferably with a friendly sidekick (that's you!) along for the ride. Ready for an orange bundle of curiosity and cuddles? Let's be friends! November 26, 2025, 12:17 am
