Story
I adopted Zilly (originally named Godzilla) from my local shelter when she was about 6 months old. She’s now 3 years old and her birthday is sometime in July (i gave her 7/9/22 as a birthday). She’s a mostly chill girl does t cuddle much but like to follow me around stay pretty close. She needs someone to cling to. She likes to play with toys and boxes and bags. I moved with my sister who has a cat but she’s not very fond of other cats so she has phases where she pees outside of the litter box. So her new home should be cat free. I’m stuck with my sister so I can’t keep Zilly anymore. I just want to find her a loving home. She’s used to it just being me and her brother (Koop my pit bull), so maybe a family with no kids would be best for her. I’m happy to provide some of her toys.

Logan is a very sweet cat, good with kids and affectionate. I’ve had Logan since he was a baby and my kids were 4 and 8. They are all older now and he is still great with them. Loves to play and sun bathe and adapts easily to change. He loves treats and is very good at finding them!

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 💛

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.
