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.

Story
Gouda is basically a giant, purring Cheeto with legs, and she fully intends to crunch her way right into your heart. This sweet orange girl is the definition of cuddly: if she can curl up on you, beside you, or vaguely near you, she considers it a successful day. She’s living her best life in a foster home right now, charming everyone with her soft snuggles, tiny chirps, and “I’m cute, feed me” stare that works every single time. Gouda is ready to trade her foster digs for a forever home where she can be your warm, toasty little sidekick. Her adoption fee is $150 and covers age-appropriate vaccines, spay, microchip, and parasite prevention. If you’ve ever wanted your very own sentient cheese puff, this is your girl.
