Story
Tuxie is our sweet 4-year-old tuxedo cat who we adopted from the Humane Society. He’s been a calm and comforting presence in our home, especially close with our daughter, who he’s grown very attached to. Tuxie is the perfect mix of independent and affectionate — he’s low-maintenance and doesn’t demand constant attention, but he truly enjoys being near his people and will happily follow you around the house just to be close. With our family’s busy schedule and our kids getting older, we’re away from home more than we’d like. As much as it breaks our hearts — especially our daughter’s — we know Tuxie deserves a home where he won’t be alone so often and can get the companionship he craves. Tuxie is neutered, healthy, and up to date on all his vaccinations. He’s used to a home with children and is very mellow and adaptable. He would thrive in a quiet, loving home where he can be someone’s loyal companion. If you’re looking for a chill, sweet cat Tuxie might be right for you.

Story
Sweet Pea is a sweet girl who I trapped as a feral kitten. After a few months of socializing, she is ready for her forever home! Sweet Pea is a small black kitty with a white tummy and a very subtle white ring on her chest. She loves attention and is always down for some pets. “Jump pets” are her favorite, where she jumps up to push her head into my head before I can bring it down to pet her. She is roughly 6 months old and still has plenty of kitten energy. She was the second of her siblings to realize people can be pretty cool and hasn’t looked back since! She loves the laser pointer and any sort of string toy. She would do great in a home with another kitty that can teach her how to be a house cat or as a solo cat with the right owner and enough playtime.

Story
*** Will be getting neutered next week (5/14 ) and microchipped *** Please note i am not asking for an adoption fee, i just want to see Moo go to a loving home. I found Moo a few months ago in a duffle bag on the side of the road and took him home and kept him to see if I could find someone to love him. I wanted to keep him and all was well at first but my pup and Moo just started to not get along unfortunately. Moo is a big cuddle bug and very playful. He loves to get his scratches before bed and will lay on your chest as long as you let him. He loves to play with his toys and his favorite right now is a shoe string. He is litter box and house trained and very rarely will have an accident outside of his box.

Story
We took in this beautiful cat a few months ago after his original owner passed away. He is approximately 8 years old and just over 8 pounds. He grew up with a german shepherd dog, and is friendly with both dogs and cats. He is not shy or scared of people and will seek affection and cuddles from everyone, including strangers. He does tend to cry when we leave the house and when we go to bed. After unsuccessfully trying to increase his stimulation and activity during the day, we have concluded that he is lonely and needs additional pet friends in the house. We are not in a position to get additional pets at this time, so we are looking for a new home for him where he can have increased social interaction and friends to be happier. He really is the best boy and will give you so much love and affection.
