Isis is 3, going on 4 years old, born on August 9, 2020. She is an only. child so she is very vocal and loves attention, especially play time. She likes going outside in the grass and has been known to climb a tree with a running start. Very loving and clingy, although she shows it in a fiesty way. Overall, looking to give her to a home that will adopt her and big personality into their loving home.

Story
Chester is a sweet orange tabby who loves affection, cuddles, and Churru. He is about 8 years old but looks older because of his health challenges. He has a limp from an old injury to a rear leg, but it doesn’t seem to bother him much, and it certainly doesn’t stop him from jumping up onto any table where there might be treats or human attention. A couple of years ago he started losing weight and showing signs of pain when eating. He was eventually diagnosed with gingivostomatitis. After some treatment, he is comfortable eating (soft foods) and drinking again, but he is skin and bones! His person is moving and can’t take him along. He needs a new person to love him, help him regain some weight, and get him to a vet if/when his symptoms recur.

Story
Meet Hazel! She’s a bit of a shy gal–she spent her first couple of weeks with us peering out from her safe space under the couch. Now that she feels more secure, she is very affectionate, playful, and chatty. She’s 11 years old, so she’s an older lady, but she is spry and peppy! While she loves to watch the wildlife through the window (and adores sniffing the world through the window screen), she is an indoor-only cat. Hazel’s previous owner was an elderly woman living in assisted living who, unfortunately, developed Alzheimer’s and could no longer take care of her. Hazel was well loved, though, and is spayed and up to date on all her shots. Please reach out should you have any questions about Hazel or if you would like to add her to your family!
