Story
Minnow was born homeless and living behind a restaurant in the woods. He was very dehydrated and underweight. We believe he wouldn't have lasted much longer, if he had not been rescued when he was. Minnow is currently being fostered in a home with other cats and dogs. He is litter box trained. He absolutely loves chasing the laser light , playing with all of his toys, and watching the birds outside the window. When he gets the zoomies, he likes to run through his cat tunnel as fast as he can back and forth. Minnow is very affectionate, comical, curious, and super smart. He would make a great addition to any family.

Good with cats, House-trained,
Story
She was roaming around my neighborhood over the past few weeks. She’s very sweet but nervous/skittish on presentation. I can’t keep her because I already have a cat and my landlord only allows one cat. She gets along well with my cat, they eat next to each other and haven’t gotten into any tussles at all. (Granted, she did hiss a few times at first)

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained,
Story
Nala is a wonderful companion who loves sunbathing by the window or playing with feather toys. She is a gentle soul who enjoys a predictable routine and a quiet place to nap. While she is a great cat, we have realized that she is not comfortable in a house with children. The energy and noise of a busy family life are stressful for her, and she would be much happier in a calm, adult-only environment where she can be the center of attention (or just coexist peacefully). ​Ideal Match: We are looking for a quiet home (no young children) where she can feel safe and relaxed. She would be perfect for a single person or a couple looking for a low-maintenance, loving companion. She will come with all her toys, beds, tower, food, litter boxes and litter.

Story
Simcha's owner passed unexpectedly, and he and a second cat needed a new home on short notice. We've homed him for about six months now and are very fond of him, but ultimately he's too expensive for us (I was laid off a year ago now; any cat would be a lot, but he's a senior cat with a couple medications). He also doesn't quite get along with the other younger cat, which can be stressful. He's a real sweetheart, spends most of his days curling up and following sunbeams, though he does like to bother someone for some brushing once in a while. He's a little rickety and seemed quite nervous and solitary when he first moved in, but he's warmed up considerably since we've gotten to know him, especially since we got him to a vet and started managing his arthritis (I don't think he had great care in his previous home). We love him, but it's difficult to fit him into our lives right now, and we'd love to find him a home where he fits perfectly.

Story
Sweet 5-Month-Old Kitten (Luna) Looking for a Loving Indoor Home 🐾 This sweet 5-month-old black kitten is looking for her forever family, ideally an indoor-only home with cat experience or a family that already has a friendly cat. Her brother Leo (orange tabby) has already been adopted. Luna is a little timid at first, but with patience and a gentle environment, she becomes very sweet, cuddly, and affectionate. Once she feels safe, she loves quiet companionship and cozy snuggles. Having another cat around could help her feel more confident and comfortable. She is up to date on all her shots and is healthy, but she will still need to be spayed when she’s old enough. We’re hoping to find a calm, loving home that understands shy kitties and will give her the time and care she needs to fully blossom. If you think your home might be a good fit, please reach out—we’d love to see her go to the perfect family. Pet fee: $0
