Story
Jasper is a sweet, shy boy, an affectionate kitty begging for forehead kisses and butt pats once he has come to trust you. He loves catnip-filled kicker toys, a box to explore, and cuddling up on the tippy-tops of pillows. He’s a long and lean senior cat, American shorthair mix, maybe Oriental in there due to his unique shape and fur texture. A few years ago, he had to have a bunch of teeth removed, so with his two teeth he eats only wet pate and has an adorable sideways grimace. Why we are rehoming: Jasper spooks easily. I adopted him from a friend whose rambunctious dog stressed him out. My partner and I moved in together, and her young feisty cat is bringing out territorial issues between the two of them. Pheromone plug-ins, extra litter boxes, and calming meds do not seem to help. He’s been checked for diabetes and urinary issues and all good. Jasper does fine with my chill older cat, but we think he would enjoy his senior years being a spoiled only cat and pillow prince.

Story
Meet Lulu – Little Lady with a Big Personality  Lulu is a 10-week-old cutie with the perfect mix of sugar and sass! This sweet girl is affectionate on her own terms — she loves hopping into laps when she’s ready for cuddles, but she’s not a fan of being held nonstop. She’s an independent little lady who knows what she likes! Lulu is also quite the talker. She’ll happily chirp and chat to let you know when she wants attention, a snack, or just feels like sharing her thoughts. (We’re pretty sure she has very important things to say.) This playful girl gets along great with other animals and would do well in a home with furry friends. And while we can’t officially confirm it… Lulu may or may not believe ice cream is the greatest invention of all time.  If you’re looking for a kitten with personality, charm, and just the right amount of diva energy, Lulu is ready to rule your heart (and your lap — occasionally).January 26, 2026, 3:37 pm

Story
A superb biscuit maker and very loud purring when happy and content, Sweetpea is looking for her forever home. She has discovered a fondness for being pet and really likes to lay next to people for cuddles. She gets along well with other even tempered cats and could probably use a playmate when she gets too energetic. It would be best if she didnt have to be separated from her preferred person or other cat, she gets upset and meows for several minutes. Sweetpea is suspected to be from a litter born as strays. She was seen growing up among her siblings in a little wooded area behind an apartment complex. It took months of patiently feeding her and her pride before she opened up and realized how nice some people and especially inside can be! Likely in need of vet checkups, unknown her health overall. Sweetpea is so very loving once you earn her trust. Be mindful up to this point she has spent a lot of time outside and requires patience and reward methods to curb her unwanted behaviors.

Story
Juniper is an extremely laid back and sweet cat. When i first adopted her she was scared and hiding under my couch, but it took her about a day to come around to me and since she did she has had no problems behavior-wise. She is great with company. My friends have called her the friendliest cat they’ve ever met. My reason for wanting to give her up is because she often has issues with her nose that I can’t keep up with financially. The issues include her sneezing often and having a bit of a runny nose sometimes. It’s nothing too detrimental, she lives with it quite easily, and like I’ve mentioned, it causes her no behavioral or mood problems. I’ve tried a few antibiotics for it, but for some reason it comes back so quickly with her. I’m afraid she may need treatment that goes beyond what I was prepared for or what I have the money for. I’m looking to give her to a home that can better support her health needs while also making sure she’s in a place that she can feel safe and relaxed.

This is Sonya! She is a very precious six year old kitty who loves to cuddle and be lazy. She eats dry food and has no medical needs other than routine check ups at the vet. I can no longer care for her due to pregnancy concerns. We want to give her to a loving home that will treat her with the kindness and care she deserves. We also have an automatic litter box to give with her, it’s heavy but very effective!

Story
COURTESY POST * This animal is not physically in LTR care, they continue to live with the owner. * The adoption/application process is the same for these dogs/cats as any other dog/cat in our rescue. * LTR has not evaluated this pet. * All personality information is provided by the owner and is assumed to be honest and accurate. * The adoption fee/donation for helping rehome the pet is the same as LTR establishes fees. Meet Smokey--a male domestic shorthair who is about 2 years old. He currently weighs 12lbs. Smokey was found as a stray and fully vetted by his finder--however, his finder's two cats do not like sharing their home. So, Smokey needs a new home. He does have a sensitive belly and skin. Atopica helps his skin and probiotics with belly. Smokey is very sweet. He is very playful and good at entertaining himself. He would do best in a home without young children as he is a play biter--he does not leave marks, but something that would scare little kids. His atopica is a daily medication as is the probiotic. It is the hope he will come off both of these meds with routine vet care & nutrition. He is neutered, up to date on shots, fiv/felv negative, and ready for a new home! January 19, 2026, 1:24 pm
