Story
Autumn was caught in mid-November as a weaned kitten who was starting to roam with her litter mates and learn hunting from her mother. She is a shy but sweet tabby-calico or caliby (tabby in place of black) beauty who likes peeking out at you from behind doors and other obstacles that she feels secure behind, but is very curious and food-motivated. Despite her shyness, she likes to sit or sleep nearby, especially when she can watch the TV, and loves it when you talk to her. She likes to play with strings and feather toys, but tends to get pushed back by her more assertive siblings. She is very intelligent and well-behaved, and gets along well with older cats. Looking for someone who will give her plenty of attention and patience. Autumn's siblings: Frost Snow

Story
Lacie is 4 years old. We got her from a litter of kittens that my sister had (she adopted a pregnant cat). She is a very sweet cat. She loves to be around people and will want to sleep in your bed with you when she gets to know you. She doesn't like being picked up and cuddled on but she loves long pet sessions and will sometimes lay on your chest or in your lap. Lacie also loves eating. She is a very curious cat and will mess with things and go into places even when you don't want her to. We would want someone who will love her and treat her well. She does well with small dogs and other cats. I haven't seen her with big dogs so I don't want her to go to a place that has big dogs. She misses you if you're gone for too long so her new owner would have to be someone who doesn't leave her for long stretches of time often (ex. longer than a work day).

Story
Luna is 7 years old. I got her from my aunt who found her in her barn. She is a very sweet cat. She is a bit of a recluse and doesn't like being picked up or cuddled on unless you're her number one human. She usually hides away for most of the day. Luna loves the sun and big windows. She will stare outside for hours. We are looking for someone who does not have any other pets and doesn't plan on getting anymore after Luna. She enjoys her space.

Story
Lolly was adopted July 2018 at about 12 weeks old. She's chipped and front declawed. She is a big girl, just over 18 lbs. She cannot reach herself to clean herself properly. I have put her on a diet but she has only lost one pound in 6 months. I work full time and I cannot spend the amount of time she needs to help her achieve her goals. Lolly is unable to handle any kind of catnip toy or product. It will make her urinate. This can be common in some fully grown cats. I'm confident that with a new owner who can devote time to her she can be the kitty she is meant to be. She is a very sweet kitty.

Story
Morice was adopted by me and my mom when she was 3 months old from the animal care and control center. She was a very playful kitten that had so much to say. She was always potty trained from the moment I met her and was very good at keeping herself well groomed and clean. She is now 4 years old and has nowhere else to live since I moved into a new apartment. We have tried to keep her in this new apartment but it is not working out due to the AC being loud. Normally she does well with noise but with machinery she gets fearful. I am concerned about her living conditions due to her being afraid of the ac unit and being cooped up in my room all day. I would rather her be in a home where she gets a lot of attention and has the comfort of not being fearful of loud noises.

Story
Halle is a super sweet and snuggly small cat. We just adopted her 4 months ago from the shelter and wanted to bring her home. But unfortunately with my pregnancy, literbox smell has been making me very ill (we have 3 literboxes) and sadly are needing to get down to 1 box for my partner to handle since I am not able to while pregnant. She is amazing with kids and other cats, she does not like our dog because he is hyper however the shelter lady said she did really good with her calm dog. They say she's around 2 years old but she is super small. We figured she was still a kitten. But maybe she will just be small forever!! Please message if you are looking for a sweet kitty who loves to love and play!!

Story
Crepe was found on the street wet and cold. He was very thin and dirty. After a vet visit it was determined he needed all of his teeth out. His body had become allergic to them. He has now gained weight and has become our office manager. This guy is friendly to everyone and loves to be center of attention. Crepe will continue to need his medication to suppress his immune system to keep his body from attacking itself. In turn his immune system is not as strong, and would be best living with another cat who is up to date on all shots.
