Hi, I'm Oreo Sugar, and I'm a striking black and white American Shorthair ready to bring love into your home! 🖤 At 3 years old, I'm spayed and in my prime — the perfect age for a long, wonderful life together. I'm affectionate and cuddly, and I absolutely love spending time with my people, whether that's snuggling on the couch or just being nearby while you go about your day. I'm gentle and smart, which means I'm easy to live with and quick to learn the rhythms of home. Come meet me and let's start our purr-fect story together! 💕 Please fill out a pre-adoption form at www.littlebeansorphanark.com

Story
Meet Toji, a striking black-and-white tuxedo kitten with a dapper look to match! At just 5 months old, Toji is already neutered and ready to find his forever home. This handsome boy is a bit shy when meeting new people and can be frightened by dogs, so he would thrive in a calm, patient home where he can build confidence at his own pace. Toji enjoys the company of other cats and may do best with a friendly feline companion to help him feel secure. Give him a little time and understanding, and you'll discover a sweet, curious kitten just waiting to blossom. Please fill out a pre-adoption application at www.littlebeansorphanark.com

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Gandalf is a 1.5-year-old male cat who is sweet and likes pets and attention. He loves to run around and play with toys (we will give a couple of his favorite toys to the adopter). He likes all types of food (wet and dry) and treats that we have given him and he drinks plenty of water. Ideally, he needs his food given to him multiple times throughout the day or else he will eat it all at once and overstuff himself. He uses the litter box well and goes to the bathroom a normal amount. We got him from BARCS in May 2026 and they said he was previously in a hoarding situation with many other cats. He is up-to-date on all vaccines, has a microchip, and we took him to a vet about 2 months ago and they said everything looked great. Our other 3-year-old female cat does not get along with him at all and hisses and growls at him every time they are around each other, which is why we need to re-home him. He clearly really wants to play with another cat/cats (and/or potentially a dog/dogs).

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.
