Story
Hello!! Meet your new soulmate! Complete with a very prestigious mustache! Looking for a handsome fellow to snuggle with? Dolphie is here for that. Looking for someone to talk to? Dolphie will listen AND even chat back. Looking for someone to go on short walks with. Dolphie likes walks too! Looking for someone to spend quiet evenings in with? Dolphie prefers the quiet too! Looking for someone to gaze into your eyes like they’re looking into your soul? That’s Dolphie’s favorite pastime. Dolphie even enjoys playing footsie! That is - you move your feet under the covers and he will pounce! Dolphie is the jealous type so don’t you dare look at another male cat. 😑 Buuuut…. He probably wouldn’t mind a sister. Just like starting a new relationship, Dolphie will love you with time, patience, dinner and treats.. Churus preferably This sweet gentleman is ready for a new home (only because he doesn’t get along with his brothers, who were here 1st). He will be such a loving cat! 🖤🤍

Oakley is a wonderful cat and from a home with a dog and small children. He has been part of my family since he was a kitten. Our family will be relocating in the next two weeks and our new accommodations will not allow animals. We must rehome Oakley to a new home. No issues with using the litter box. Oakley has been an indoor cat.

Story
Coco is a 3 year old spayed, microchipped tuxedo cat who is playful, affectionate, and full of personality. Rescued as a stray in late 2024, she quickly showed she was no feral; litter trained, sweet, and eager for human contact. I adopted her in April 2025, and she has brought so much joy: chasing toys, darting through tunnels, lounging on her cat tower, and even curling up to sleep on my arm. Coco loves to cuddle on her terms and will let you know with love bites when done. She is energetic, social, and thrives on play and attention. Sadly, despite multiple reintroduction attempts with my resident cat (and help from a behaviorist), Coco has faced ongoing aggression from her housemate. Given her experience and for her happiness and safety, she needs to be the only pet in her new home. Coco is healthy, litter trained, and ready to bring love, fun, and companionship to a patient, cat-savvy adopter who can give her the forever home she deserves.

Story
Say hello to Hilda! This pretty old lady came to us in October of 2025 due to the current pet in the home not accepting her. She is quite the shy girl, preferring to nap away on the top shelf of her kennel — until a tasty treat is offered, that is! Food is the quickest way to her heart, especially in the form of a lickable treat or wet food. Once she warms up to you, Hilda is a sweetheart who likes to cuddle and absolutely loves a good head scratch! She can be fairly vocal about things she likes (and doesn't like) and certainly demands the pampered life she deserves. We have not seen much playful behavior from Hilda, but we suspect she likes to play when no one's watching as her toys are always moved around. In her previous home, it became evident that Hilda prefers a chill life. She'd do best as the only cat in the home or with a male cat companion. We have not seen her with dogs. Hilda is great with respectful, calm children but fearful of younger and louder children. Hilda is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.
