Story
Logan is a very sweet cat, good with kids and affectionate. I’ve had Logan since he was a baby and my kids were 4 and 8. They are all older now and he is still great with them. Loves to play and sun bathe and adapts easily to change. He loves treats and is very good at finding them!

Story
I adopted Zilly (originally named Godzilla) from my local shelter when she was about 6 months old. She’s now 3 years old and her birthday is sometime in July (i gave her 7/9/22 as a birthday). She’s a mostly chill girl does t cuddle much but like to follow me around stay pretty close. She needs someone to cling to. She likes to play with toys and boxes and bags. I moved with my sister who has a cat but she’s not very fond of other cats so she has phases where she pees outside of the litter box. So her new home should be cat free. I’m stuck with my sister so I can’t keep Zilly anymore. I just want to find her a loving home. She’s used to it just being me and her brother (Koop my pit bull), so maybe a family with no kids would be best for her. I’m happy to provide some of her toys.

Story
🐾 Meet Mila Mila’s story began in an unlikely place—hidden inside the engine compartment of a car, seeking safety from the noisy world. Her lilac-colored fur and gentle spirit are matched only by her quiet bravery. Mila still prefers cozy hideaways and soft nooks, but with time and trust, she emerges like sunlight after rain—ready to share snuggles, purrs, and the kind of love that feels like a whispered secret. A dilute lilac beauty, she’s soft as a cloud and sweet as a whisper. On her own, Mila can be shy and skittish, often retreating to hide. Mila prefers male cats as they make her confidence blossoms—she plays, cuddles, and shows her true affectionate nature. Mila brings the softness, and both bring endless love. Whether they’re curled up in a cuddle puddle or tag-teaming a toy mouse, this kitten is happiest with a male playmate. 💜 Adopter Tips for Loving Mila Well 💜 • Create cozy spaces: Blanket forts, tunnel beds, and quiet corners help both girls feel secure. • Let trust bloom naturally: These kittens thrive in peaceful homes with gentle voices and patient hearts. • Celebrate their bond: They’re happiest together—snuggling, playing, and supporting each other through every new experience. • Watch for quiet milestones: A tail-up greeting, a soft purr, a shared nap on your lap—these are their love notes to you. • Offer empathy and time: Their hearts are tender, but once they trust you, their affection is deep and lasting. Mila is ready to find a home where her story can continue—one filled with warmth, kindness, and the gentle rhythm of her heart healing. This cat is fixed, vaccinated, and litter box trained. The adoption fee for this kitten is $175, $350/pair. ***Kittens under 16 weeks of age need to be adopted in pairs or into a home with another playful, young cat.

Story
I adopted Skunk about 1.5 years ago, from the Humane Society in Oklahoma City. His profile said he was approximately 12 years old at the time. When I picked him up, he was hiding in his room. Upon arrival at my home (with one other female cat) I kept him separated in my guest room. Each day I went in to try to pet him and give him attention, but he never received it well. Once I allowed him to have free range of my home, he continued to hide under the bed, only coming out at night to use the litter box and eat. My female cat was not and still is not fond of him. Since my husband and I moved to Virginia we put her in our bedroom at night to allow Skunk to come out and be a cat. We believe he will do best as the only animal in the home, with someone who is quieter. He will most likely start to come out during the day and be more social!
