Story
This kitty walked into my house (and my life) about 7 years ago. He can be very sweet and cuddly, but only when he's ready to be handled. He's very unhappy about the other two cats in our house, and my wife has become afraid of him, and I'm trying to find him a one-cat home.

Story
Pixie is a beautiful, sweet girl with gorgeous green eyes and a personality that comes out once she feels safe. She can be shy and skittish at first, so she needs someone patient who will give her time to adjust. Once comfortable, she loves relaxing around the house, playing with her toys, and finding cozy places to lounge.Pixie came to me from someone who needed to rehome her. I already had another cat and hoped they would adjust to living together, but unfortunately their dynamic has not worked out. I believe Pixie would thrive as the only cat where she can receive plenty of love and attention. She has previously lived with children and did very well with them.Pixie is spayed but is not currently up to date on vaccinations. She will come with familiar food, an automatic feeder, litter box and mat, toys, and other supplies to make her transition easier.Pixie is very loved, and my priority is finding her a safe, stable, permanent home. ❤️

Story
Crabcake has been with my mom for 10 years, she is great with children and very affectionate. Unfortunately my mom has Alzheimer's Disease and is unable to care for her, Crabcake does have digestive issues however otherwise is in good health. Crabcake is an emotional support animal and loves being around humans, when she likes you, she wants to be around you all the time. She is old but still active however has been the only pet child, im not sure how she does with other animals. We love Crabcake as she stayed by my mom side through cancer and grew up with my kids. We desire a good home full of love and people for her also someone who loves cats and is patient with her sensitive stomach.

Story
Frank came from a tree!In March 2026 my neighbor said they heard meowing in their backyard. I went to go check it out because I like to help TNR local cats.Frank was about 40 to 50 ft up a tree! We waited one night and put a ladder and some food to see if he would come down. The next day I called the fire dept but they couldnt reach him. Desperate, I called some tree climbers. They scaled a ladder, made a lasso, caught Frank and pulled him in. I was so happy!He was so skinny and malnourished the next few months I was focused on getting him to a healthy weight. Now Frank is well adjusted, has lived with cats, dogs, kids, and he is potty trained. He is just a sweet boy. He is cautious but very sweet and snuggly!I hope Frankie Muniz will find a great home!

Story
Thatcher is a very friendly young black cat. Unfortunately my wife is allergic to him and we have a young child and we do not have the time to make a proper home for him. A friend purchased Thatcher but was unable to keep him and gave him to us. Thatcher is great with people and loves to cuddle, but can also be shy at first.
