Story
Meet gorgeous Tommy Blue! This spunky boy lost his home when his owners had housing trouble. He was absolutely devastated to lose his family, and he struggled to find his footing at the shelter, but he's really starting to come out of his shell! He loves to nuzzle, roll around, and beg for treats and attention. He is learning to love and trust humans again, but he is so eager to find a new, forever home. Can you give him the family and love that he needs?

Story
Hi, I'm Ozzie! I'm a little guy--I weigh only 7-8 pounds--but I have a big personality, and I'm healthy and beautiful! A wonderful family adopted me as a kitten and I have lived with them ever since, but now the kids are grown and moved away, one of my owners died last year, my other owner will be spending a lot of time traveling--and I don't like to travel! I like attention--when I want it: sometimes I crave your immediate affection, other times I don't, and I'll let you know which it is at the moment! I have a nice clear voice so I can let you know what I want! But I'm low-maintenance overall. Besides my owner, I currently live with my (litter mate) cat brother, Cooper, and a dog whom I mostly ignore. I've lived with Cooper my entire life, but he isn't always very nice to me, so I think I would be happier if I were the only cat in my new home. My human brother is planning to adopt Cooper, so this could work out well!

Story
Rita is an energetic and playful girl about 1.5 years old. She was found underweight and pregnant on the streets last summer and a few months later became mom to 3 healthy kittens. Although she did a great job taking care of her babies Rita is glad she has been spayed and will not be having any more litters. After some TLC this gorgeous little girl is ready to find her forever home. She loves being an indoor cat but does not love other animals and needs to be an only pet. Rita enjoys playing with her feather wand, chasing balls, watching birds, and cuddling up next to her humans. If you have any questions or are interested in adopting Rita please send me a message!

Story
Rehoming Two Very Affectionate Cats I am faced with the difficult decision of finding a new home for my two sweetheart cats. They are two years old and from the same litter. Healthy, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccines. Due to financial circumstances, I am moving in with my family, where there is a dog that is aggressive towards cats. To ensure their safety and well-being, I am seeking a kind, safe, and loving home where they can continue to thrive together. Please see the attached photos. If you are interested in providing a forever home for Moose and Bao, or if you know of someone who might be, please reach out to me at the email provided. Your kindness and assistance in spreading the word are greatly appreciated. Gratefully, Isabel

Story
Little Bear Cub got his name bc he is the largest in the litter, sleeps the most and had a cute little belly for first 8 weeks! He is very sweet and a bit reserved; loves attention but you generally need to go to him and he’ll greet you with a cute little bum wiggle… just like his mama’s. He loves to play and is the giant giant of the litter. He is the last kitten that needs to be homed and it’s my strong preference that mama and LBC go together. Mama (Noiree) was a stray that gave birth on my porch. She is only about 2 yrs and is just wonderful - with a fun and quirky personality. But due to environmental hazards - I am not able to keep her long term as she is definitely an inside/outside cat and will thrive the best in that situation. A home with a good sized yard - in a residential neighborhood would be the most ideal so she can go outside from time to time. Mama and LBC are bonded and will make great company for each other. Please see Noiree’s profile for more info about her.
