Story
Onyx is a beautiful 2 year old cat, she was originally adopted through Hobart Humane Society, but unfortunately was not a good fit for our home. When she is not roaming around the house exploring, she loves to snuggle and give kisses. Onyx would do best in a home where she is the only cat prowling around her territory. But she loves any person she gets to meet and does not mind a canine companion that is relaxed.

I have been having Milan since 2020, he has been nothing but a lovely cat. It is really breaking my heart that I am putting him for rehoming. He loves people, cuddles and plays with them. One he loves someone he never makes him by alone.

Story
Emmé (grey tabby) is 3 years old and is quite the social cat. She enjoys being around people, hoping that she could get some chin and belly rubs from them, as well as some treats. She also loves it when you swing a cat wand for her to catch or give her a toy with some catnip in it.

Story
Claire (mostly white with a few black spots) is 2 years old. When she first arrives in your home, she will be very shy, trying to hide away but still observing those around her. However, after a while, she will become comfortable and start to follow you around. Claire has not found a favorite toy yet, but one thing is for sure: she loves treats!

Story
Bruce is a sweet girl, we rescued her as a kitten at 8 weeks old. She is 5 years old now. Since we have adopted we’ve had 2 kids and now one more on the way. She was loving before but ever since we had the boys she has been in hiding, she hasn’t struck my littlest one but she did swipe and hiss at him a couple times for just coming near her. I want to find a good home for her, preferably with no small children. My home is no longer a good environment for her. But she deserves a good one, she has brought me a lot of joy in my life. This is very hard to do but this is what’s best for my family and her. Thank you

Story
Hello, I'm Samson. I've seen a lot in my time, and I've learned the art of companionship. I'm as sweet as a summer's day and friendly as a morning sun. My days are filled with gentle purrs and soft meows, a melody of contentment. I love a good chin scratch, and I'm always ready for a warm lap to curl up on. I may be a senior, but I still have plenty of love to give. I believe every day is a gift, and I'm ready to share that gift with you. Adopt me, and let's make our days brighter together.
