Story

Meet your new "Best Cat Friend Forever", Snowball! This very special, very social former community cat is in search of a forever home. He was being fed by a local caretaker who noticed him limping, unable to put any weight on his right forelimb. We had him treated at a local urgent care and he fully recovered in less than a month! Snowball is extremely energetic, curious, and smart. Great eater, food motivated, and a fast learner. This makes him easily trained. He's very attentive and respectful of his family and environment. He has no special needs, just love and cuddles! Once he warms up to you you'll have found your new "Best Cat Friend Forever"!

Story

Hwello My name is Kendall, and I'm 3 years old. I'm cute, sweet, playful, and, let's not forget, talkative as well. I enjoy showing affection to my parent(s) once comfortable in my new home, and I also enjoy unlimited attention. I would rather be in a home with adults only, but if not, I can tolerate kids with you micromanaging. I only enjoy Purina Cat Chow Indoor Dry Food, Hairball + Healthy Weight, and lots of water to stay hydrated. My favorite snacks are greenies to clean my teeth twice a day and soft pate food for a treat every now and then. A quiet home with relaxation and peace is where I thrive the most, so please keep me safe and happy. Oh, and don't forget my toys. I love rolling jingle toys.

Story

We got lucky as a kitten with a sibling and she is a wonderful cat. Over the last 2 years, she has gotten increasingly jealous of our other cats, and she is unhappy and doesn’t socialize with them anymore. She is very happy solo and is a great lap cat! We think she will be happier in a house where she is the star! She chases and fetches rubber bands, is a chatty cat and will talk back to you, is a great cuddler and loves people. We are hopeful that she will find a great home with someone looking for a cat companion!

Meet Mango 🥭 Mango is a 1 yr old Orange boy that loves to play. He is very energetic and loves toys especially ones with bells ! Mango is a in house cat. He is up to date on shots. He does well with children and other cats. He has never been around dogs. I’m hoping he can be rehoused with someone who loves cats as much as I do and someone who has other cats. He would love the company. Mango does not like being alone, he will be vocal about it lol.

Story

Bitzy is a female cat born on the solar eclipse, April 8, 2024 to a couple of farm cats. We adopted her along with her brother Pickles and welcomed them into our family. Bitzy is a little shy at first but once she gets to know, she’s a sweetheart. She loves to play with toy mouses and wand toys. She’s great with my 4 year old but as it turns out, my daughter is highly allergic and has now developed asthma. We’re hoping Bitzy and Pickles can stay together and find a new family where they’re cherished.

Story

Her name is Beans, she’s a one year old tortoiseshell American shorthair. She’s very sassy and independent but loves to talk. She’s extremely aggressive and does not do well with other animals and people in general. She loves to climb (on stuff AND people) and likes to chew on string. We thought we could take care of her but her behavior is too erratic, even after getting spayed, so a more experienced cat owner is definitely a better fit for her. She prefers wet food over dry food but will eat it if it’s mixed. She’s not a fan of bells and chimes and likes string and feathers better.

Story

My pet is very particular to me and likes males over females, he has always taken to me even though he was given to my girlfriend as a replacement by my girlfriend's daughter, he is very super clean and takes care of his hygiene very well! He loves people and just needs his food, water and litter pan attended to daily! He loves to lay in bed between his caretaker and he is attracted to whoever gives him the most attention! Unfortunately because I have to move, as much as I love him, I can't take him with me! So if you could give him a loving home, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you and God Bless!

Story

We adopted Ender 4 years ago and since then he has struggled tremendously trying to adjust to life with a dog. He does not like dogs and has behavioral issues (peeing out of the litter box) when in a home with a dog. We got him checked by the vet and everything is clear but coupled with our allergies we just are not the right fit for him. He would do great in a home as an only cat or first time pet owners, and is super gentle with children. He will come with food, a scratching post, and microchip feeder.

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi, my name is Rocky II. My mom named me that because she had a cat years ago, of course named Rocky, whom she loved dearly & felt the name suited me too. She adopted me right before the pandemic and took care of me while I entertained her while she was “locked down” in her senior apartment. She also realized that I’m deaf and had to get used to letting me know she was there to keep from scaring me all the time. Sometimes I meow pretty loud but as soon as you look at me I’ll meow very sweetly. I think sometimes I just do it because I don’t know how loud I actually am. Mom passed away & I’ve been living w/her daughter for the last 6 months but I just can’t handle her dogs and I really need a more 1 on 1 relationship. I love to get brushed & will purr & rub on you as long as you want me to. I can also take a hint & am happy w/my alone time as well. I’m pretty chill, don’t mess up the furniture, don’t pee outside my box. I’m a pretty decent guy & would love a new comfortable home.
