Story
Finley needs a new home where he can get lots of love. At about a year old, he's sweet, very affectionate and likes to play. Once he trusts you, he'll be a real cuddle bug! He loves to sit in your lap and chill out. Finley showed up on my street about four months ago. I was hoping to integrate him into my home with two other cats, but my male cat just isn't having it. Not Finley's fault at all, but he needs a new home. Finley would do well in a home where he can play and cuddle a lot. He's neutered, vaccinated and litter box trained - immediately trained himself on day one - and is going to make a great pet.

Story
This is Venus. She was found by me under a house with a collar. I took her to the vet and found out she was all healthy, shots up to date, spayed, and very snuggly! I am keeping her now as she is perfect, but my roommate is allergic and the landlord has a no pet policy. Regardless, she is the best girl in the world, loves her naps and biscuit making! She loves a good window to look out and is very adventurous around the house! We really need your help before I have to bring her to a shelter… which is so terrible. Do not be afraid if she is under the bed for the first few days, she was in a bad situation and is still recovering to be her full self! Help us please!

She is so sweet and the mostly cuddly and outgoing cat you’ll ever meet! She will sleep with you every night and always want to be on your lap! Unfortunately, due to change in housing I am no longer the best person to have her and am looking for someone who will love her as much as I do!

Story
Urgent rehoming! This is Layla. She is very sweet. She loves to cuddle 💘. Also loves every single human she's ever met! She was originally adopted from petsmart so she has all her vaccinations! She would prefer to be in a 1 cat household. I am currently fostering her and I had no idea she wouldn't react well to my other cats. She is afraid of my other 7 rescue cats. This caused fights, so I have her separated now. She deserves to be in a loving forever home but our local shelter is completely full, so I wanted to get the word out on here. There will be a small rehoming fee just to be safe. Thanks!

Story
Callie is roughly 1.5 years old. I found her roughly 6 months ago and she was pregnant. I decided to keep her on my property to ensure she was fed and safe. She had the kittens and they were rehomed. I now need a home for Callie. She is everything a person could want. She is very chill and adapts to any situation. She lets you hold her, grab her and handle her however you want. She meows rarely. She loves being inside but can go outside and will return home whenever she wants to. SHE LOVES FOOD. She could endlessly eat. She doesn't play with toys much but may if you work with her on it. She doesn't scratch at furniture or anything.

Roosevelt is a big, lovable lap cat, but he gets stressed out around other pets. Roosevelt needs to be rehomed because he is not getting along with his brother and needs to be in a quiet environment where he doesn't need to share affection with anyone else. If you're looking for a 15lb fur baby, then look no further than this chunky hunk!

Story
An extremely unique-looking, gorgeously patterned little scamp. Reese is one-of-a-kind! Reese is one of a litter of six born on April Fool's Day 2023. These sweet babies' mother belongs to an elderly couple who simply became overwhelmed with the new additions, and reached out to us for help. We're so happy that Mama Cat has been spayed and the kittens are staying with an amazing foster while they receive their medical care (Reese's eyes are currently being treated) and learn social skills. Please click on our link to learn how to meet Reese, check out all of our amazing cats, and how to begin an adoption application. ##1761291##
