Story
Coco is a 3 year old spayed, microchipped tuxedo cat who is playful, affectionate, and full of personality. Rescued as a stray in late 2024, she quickly showed she was no feral; litter trained, sweet, and eager for human contact. I adopted her in April 2025, and she has brought so much joy: chasing toys, darting through tunnels, lounging on her cat tower, and even curling up to sleep on my arm. Coco loves to cuddle on her terms and will let you know with love bites when done. She is energetic, social, and thrives on play and attention. Sadly, despite multiple reintroduction attempts with my resident cat (and help from a behaviorist), Coco has faced ongoing aggression from her housemate. Given her experience and for her happiness and safety, she needs to be the only pet in her new home. Coco is healthy, litter trained, and ready to bring love, fun, and companionship to a patient, cat-savvy adopter who can give her the forever home she deserves.

Story
He was given to me after he was found as a kitten in an small barn. He is 4 years old currently. I'm hoping to find a patient and quiet home for him. I believe he needs a home with no other pets, kids, and just a good amount of space to move around. He isn't good with being in households with plants. He will find a way to get to them no matter where they are and will eat them. He is a sweet cat that gets attached to people, but will go through random episodes of blind aggression where he will attack on sight.

Story
Meet Bubby, a 3-year-old male cat with a distinctive coat of white fur with black splotches that give him a charming, unique look. Weighing in at a solid 15 pounds, Bubby is a loving, affectionate cat whos guaranteed to bring energy, charm, and personality into any home. Whether you're an adult or have children in the family, Bubby is wonderful with everyone and loves being part of the daily hustle and bustle. He was found abandoned near a hotel and now is looking for his fur-ever home.While he may take a little time to warm up to dogs, Bubbys patient nature shines throughespecially with calm and gentle senior dogs like his 12-year-old canine companion. After a week or so, hes comfortable sharing space and adapting to his new home.Bubby is a fan of attention, but he knows when it's time for a break. He enjoys being held and petted but prefers short cuddle sessions before continuing his playful adventures. Hes not picky about where he hangs out, content to relax in any room of the house, as long as he has a comfy spot to curl up. Evenings are his favorite time to play, and hes especially enthusiastic when his toys are involved.

Story
This is Benji, and he needs your help This baby was left behind by a family that did not want to care for him. When he first arrived, he was scared, traumatized and confused. Benji has been in our care for about two month, and we have taken the time to help him get out of his shell. He is still very scared of humans, often threatened by touch or movement. We are hoping someone with experience, love, tenderness and patience can take him and help him. We have come to love Benji, and you will see that underneath his rough surface is a boy who desires love and affection. We have a cat and he seems very curious about him, so we think he might do well with other cats with proper introduction. Children and loud noises scare him. But with proper introduction we know he will blossom in any home. Benji is waiting for you, and he can’t wait to meet you ❤️

Story
Goldaline or Goldie or Goldie boi or Fat Boi etc. is a very sweet two year old, cow-colored feline. He is not gold, and despite his unfortunate mustache, is a lover of all humans who provide food and pets. He was wandering around our apartment complex for a very long time. We lured him into our apartment to see if he was chipped or belonged to anyone. No chip, and no owner was found. He was clearly well-loved by someone at some point, as he loves to cuddle and just be near people. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and in perfect health. We absolutely adore him, but ss much as we wish we could be his forever home, my cat Cecilia comes first. As they were just starting to show signs of relaxation around each other, she saw him playfully swipe at me and thought he was on the attack. This caused her to launch herself at him with intent to end his life. Ever since then, she has wanted him off this planet. Please consider adopting this wonderful giant beast.
