Story
Isis is 3, going on 4 years old, born on August 9, 2020. She is an only. child so she is very vocal and loves attention, especially play time. She likes going outside in the grass and has been known to climb a tree with a running start. Very loving and clingy, although she shows it in a fiesty way. Overall, looking to give her to a home that will adopt her and big personality into their loving home.

Story
Chester is a sweet orange tabby who loves affection, cuddles, and Churru. He is about 8 years old but looks older because of his health challenges. He has a limp from an old injury to a rear leg, but it doesn’t seem to bother him much, and it certainly doesn’t stop him from jumping up onto any table where there might be treats or human attention. A couple of years ago he started losing weight and showing signs of pain when eating. He was eventually diagnosed with gingivostomatitis. After some treatment, he is comfortable eating (soft foods) and drinking again, but he is skin and bones! His person is moving and can’t take him along. He needs a new person to love him, help him regain some weight, and get him to a vet if/when his symptoms recur.

Story
Meet Hazel! She’s a bit of a shy gal–she spent her first couple of weeks with us peering out from her safe space under the couch. Now that she feels more secure, she is very affectionate, playful, and chatty. She’s 11 years old, so she’s an older lady, but she is spry and peppy! While she loves to watch the wildlife through the window (and adores sniffing the world through the window screen), she is an indoor-only cat. Hazel’s previous owner was an elderly woman living in assisted living who, unfortunately, developed Alzheimer’s and could no longer take care of her. Hazel was well loved, though, and is spayed and up to date on all her shots. Please reach out should you have any questions about Hazel or if you would like to add her to your family!

Story
Rehoming Two Very Affectionate Cats I am faced with the difficult decision of finding a new home for my two sweetheart cats. They are two years old and from the same litter. Healthy, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccines. Due to financial circumstances, I am moving in with my family, where there is a dog that is aggressive towards cats. To ensure their safety and well-being, I am seeking a kind, safe, and loving home where they can continue to thrive together. Please see the attached photos. If you are interested in providing a forever home for Moose and Bao, or if you know of someone who might be, please reach out to me at the email provided. Your kindness and assistance in spreading the word are greatly appreciated. Gratefully, Isabel

Story
Little Bear Cub got his name bc he is the largest in the litter, sleeps the most and had a cute little belly for first 8 weeks! He is very sweet and a bit reserved; loves attention but you generally need to go to him and he’ll greet you with a cute little bum wiggle… just like his mama’s. He loves to play and is the gentle giant of the litter. He is the last kitten that needs to be homed and it’s my strong preference that mama and LBC go together. Mama (Noiree) was a stray that gave birth on my porch. She is only about 2 yrs and is just wonderful - with a fun and quirky personality. Due to environmental hazards - I am not able to keep her long term as she is definitely an inside/outside cat and will thrive the best in that situation. A home with a good sized yard - in a residential neighborhood would be the most ideal so she can go outside from time to time. Mama and LBC are bonded and will make great company for each other. Please see Noiree’s profile for more info about her.
