Story

I’ve had this sweet girl since I was 12, so she’s been part of my life for a long time.She will be 14 in 2026. She’s always been incredibly affectionate the kind of cat who senses when you’re feeling down and will curl up on your chest or sit beside you until you feel better. She loves being close to her person and will happily cuddle for hours. She’s also very food-motivated, playful in little bursts, and has a gentle, calm personality that makes her easy to love. I’m looking for a home where she will be cherished as much as she has been with me someone who appreciates a cuddly, people-oriented cat and can give her the attention, warmth, and stability she thrives on. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who brings comfort and sweetness into the home, she’s truly that kind of cat. Adjectives that describe her best: affectionate, gentle, cuddly, loyal, food-loving, comforting, and easygoing.

Story

Mochi is a sweet, 5-year-old cat who’s been with us since she was a kitten. She’s gentle, affectionate, and loves attention — meowing for pets and doing little flips once she feels safe. Head and chin scratches are her favorite, though she’s sensitive about certain spots. After her bonded brother passed away, life in a multi-cat home became stressful for her. She’s since developed anxiety around other cats, leading to litter box issues and stress-related urinary problems. In a calm, cat-free home, she does wonderfully — her health and habits stay stable as long as her litter box is cleaned daily. has quirky bent tail from an old injury — it doesn’t hurt her, and it’s become one of her cutest features. When you pet her, she’ll happily swish and bump you with it, like a tiny ankylosaurus showing affection. She needs a patient, experienced, cat-free home where she can relax and thrive. With love, she’ll be a loyal, affectionate companion 💛

Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

One of 2 boys in a litter of 5. They were found outside in the rain and taken in. Unfortunately, the mother never returned and so we kept them. Finances have gotten a little stressful and so it would be better to have someone else take care of them. Goldie was born in March making him 9 months old. A home with a lot of attention and love would be great for him. He is definitely the needy one of the group, crying out for pets as a kitten and being the most vocal one now when demanding stuff. He is very affectionate and very clingy. He will follow you everywhere.

Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

One of 2 boys in a litter of 5. The litter was found outside in our back yard in the rain. The mother never returned to look for them and so they were kept. The expenses have become too much so unfortunately we cannot take care of them anymore. He is 9 months old and born in March. We are looking for a household with lots of care, love, and patience. Foxy is definitely the more difficult one of the 5 since he can be very picky with his litter box (prioritizes using litter box but has less tolerance to a dirty litter box than the others) and very rowdy. What he is in difficult he makes up in how charming, silly, and an overall sweetheart he is. He never failed to put a smile on my face.

Story

This sweet, silly, and "Sassy Man" is looking for a home of his own with no other pets or kids. He's a shy guy with anxiety who would love a pet parent(s) who can relate, and show him patience. He's made HUGE strides, and I know as an only pet he would blossom! He lets me give him kisses on his head now and being OK with getting picked up is what we are currently working on. This obviously former house cat arrived at my door in Nov 2023, emaciated, and wasn't going to make it. I started feeding him, fell in love with him, and brought him inside. Sassafras had perineal urethrostomy surgery in Dec 2024 after a bad feline lower urinary tract disease episode. That, a partial prescription diet, and being separated from my other cats, has resolved his issues. I have 3 cats and he is bullied by one of them. I've "tried it all" and nothing has worked. For his health, I keep him separated, but it breaks my heart and I know he misses sleeping on my bed and being out and about in the house.
