Story
Gucci will be three years old this March. He's very affectionate and vocal, he'll let you know when he walks into a room. He practically melts when you scratch his neck. His favorite toys are zipties, beads and tiny rocks. Give him a soft blanket and he'll make biscuits all across it. He does well with our small dogs but hasn't been introduced to any big dogs. Gucci does well with our elderly cat but not so well with our younger cats. He'd do so much better if he was in a home as an only cat or with just one other cat. Absolutely no female cats.

Story
Lovey Dovey showed up in my front yard 2 years ago and has been here since. She is very loving, hence the name. She will rub up against any person or animal, including farm animals! She spent her first year outside with shelter and food, but eventually was let in the house where she is happiest, curled up on the sofa. She goes outside in warm weather, but I would prefer she be an inside kitty only. She lets me clip her nails. I use NexGard Plus topical on her once a month for parasite protection. Lovey needs to be around people. I need to rehome her because I adopted a huge dog that weighs 110 lbs and I can't allow them to be together because the dog is way too rough. My previous dog was a boxer mix and absolutely loved her. This breaks my heart, but I want Lovey to be safe and happy with a loving family.

Story
🐚 Wimpy – Quiet, Shy, and Full of Potential Wimpy is a timid and gentle spirit, much like Tiramisu. She’s not aggressive at all, just cautious and in need of a peaceful, understanding home where she can feel safe and loved. She’d likely thrive best as an only cat, and she should not be placed in a home with dogs. With patience and care, Wimpy could become a quiet, loving companion who will be forever grateful for a second chance.

Story
🐾 Hefty – The Gentle Giant with a Tender Heart Hefty is a big, sweet boy with a shy soul. He’s gentle and loving once he feels safe, but he needs a little time and patience to come out of his shell. He does wonderfully with other cats and would thrive in a quiet home. Due to his nervous nature, a home without dogs is best, and his status with small children is unknown. If you’re the kind of person who understands the beauty of earning a shy cat’s trust, Hefty will reward you with endless love.
