Junimo is a sweet, fun -loving indoor cat. Her favorite game to play is fetch and she likes to sleep with you at night. Junimo is approximately four years old, current on all shots and medical appointments, and litter-trained. Junimo would do best as the only cat in a household. She is friendly and gentle with humans. She can be shy at first but quickly warms up to strangers. Junimo would be perfect for a first time cat owner.

Story
Meet Kibbles: A Gentle Soul Looking for a New Home For the past 10 years, Kibbles has been a cherished part of our family. Rescued as a kitten, she's grown into a calm, affectionate companion who loves nothing more than curling up in a sunny spot or sitting beside you for some gentle pets. At 10 years old, she’s perfectly content with a quiet lifestyle, making her the ideal companion for someone looking for a low-maintenance and loving pet. Kibbles is an independent cat who enjoys her own space but will come to you when she wants some affection. She’s well-mannered, fully house-trained, and has a sweet, gentle nature. However, she prefers a home without kittens, as she doesn't get along well with them and can be territorial. Kibbles is looking for caring owners who can provide her with the love and comfort she deserves in her golden years. She has hyperthyroidism, which requires a 2.5mg pill of methimazole twice a day. She takes her medication easily!

Story
Wallace is a sweet and playful kitten looking for his forever home. He loves playing with his toys, exploring cozy corners and curling up for pets. With his loud purr and gentle nature, he is sure to fill your home with love and joy. He is great with other cats and would do well in a family who will give him time loads of pets and play time. A little bit on the shy side as he was found with his siblings living in a field, he is growing to love and appreciate the comforts of home and people. He is very sweet and loving to his foster mom who rescued him. His adoption fee is waived, all his vaccinations are up to date, and he has been fixed, he also comes with a starter pack of his favorite toys, beds and food. Are you ready to welcome this bundle of joy into your home? Wallace is waiting to meet his perfect match!

Story
Pluto and Flame were rescued together as kittens and have been inseparable siblings ever since. They thrive together and prefer not to be apart. While they haven't gotten along with other pets, they've formed a strong bond as a dynamic duo. Due to my declining health at just 27, I can no longer care for them or work. I'm seeking a loving household where they can continue to be cherished companions. Flame is a vigilant guard-kitty who diligently alerts to any unusual occurrences in his environment. His persistent meows signal various needs—from food, water, and litter box checks to his sister's assistance or a door left ajar. I've learned to trust his instincts as he keeps a watchful eye on their surroundings. Pluto, on the other hand, is affectionate and playful. She enjoys interacting with toys and has a particular fondness for lunch meats such as chicken, ham, and turkey. Pluto isn't interested in catnip but loves to play with toys.

Story
Lucy and Ethel are litter mates that I rescued 10 years ago when they were kittens. They lived outdoors and weren’t well cared for. They are super sweet cats and I truly hate the thought of rehoming them. However, as I age my allergies for pet dander has gotten extremely worse, intolerable. I started doing allergy shots and have gotten no relief. They still have their claws and are strictly indoor cats. They have to stay together! They typically hide when a visitor comes. They tolerate my grandkids but are used to a quiet home. Ethel has to be on rx dry food diet. I’m so concerned about finding a loving home, that I will continue to provide the rx food just for peace of mind and her care. They are not on any medications. I have the paperwork on all their shots and microchipping.

Story
Meet Misty. She is 5 years old, in great health and has the absolute sweetest (and social) disposition - everyone who meets her is Misty-struck in a matter of minutes! She loves lap time, snuggles, feathers on sticks and shadows on the floor to chase. Misty is looking for a new home because my travel schedule is too often and unpredictable. She deserves more play & cuddle time with someone that can give her all the love she deserves. The only reason I am charging a pet fee is because I was told "free" cats can be scooped up by people who use them for fighting ;( Misty is super sweet and just wants some lap time!
