Meet Spicy a one year old dilute torte but don't let her name fool you she's a total sweet heart who loves pets and cuddles. She is fixed UTD on shots, FIV negative and microchipped. Spicy has been through a lot in the last few months getting treated daily for an ear infection but it never made her bitter or unfriendly she's just as sweet as when she arrived and is now looking for her forever home to continue to give her unconditional love.April 27, 2024, 6:44 pm

Story
Frank is a very playful and active cat. He loves to follow you around and will hang out wherever you are. His favorite toy is a piece of fat yarn that he likes to drag around and play fetch with.  He's happy to cuddle on your lap and has been known to crawl under a blanket to sleep. He is not very vocal and usually only meows when asking for food. Frank is about 3 years old and was rescued as a kitten. His left ear is a bit wonky - we think it adds character! He has his claws, but is still learning that our hands and feet are not toys. He responds well to "No" and to redirection or distraction, or a couple minutes of play. He will need gentle, firm and consistent guidance in this area. My son grew up with cats, and adopted Frank when he got his first apartment. However, we realize now that Frank needs more space. I am currently keeping Frank at my house, and he is enjoying the larger space, especially the stairs! We hope you have the space in your heart and in your home for Frank!

Story
I rescued Freya from an abusive home. The people that had her stated they found her by a dumpster at work around 2017. I already had 3 cats (2 girl kittens and 1 senior male) but this little girl needed help asap. She gets along with the senior male cat I have but constantly goes after the two little girls. She does great with dogs once she is used to them and knows they are safe for her to be around. I made a creative little video for Freya. You can view this at: https://youtu.be/UMnb5tB-Jmo I will be including food bowls, cat bed, and her new enclosed litterbox as well. I would like to stay in contact with the person that takes her. She is truly an extraordinary girl and I love her deeply. I want the best for her and my other kitties.

Story
Emmé (grey tabby) is 3 years old and is quite the social cat. She enjoys being around people, hoping that she could get some chin and belly rubs from them, as well as some treats. She also loves it when you swing a cat wand for her to catch or give her a toy with some catnip in it.

Story
Claire (mostly white with a few black spots) is 2 years old. When she first arrives in your home, she will be very shy, trying to hide away but still observing those around her. However, after a while, she will become comfortable and start to follow you around. Claire has not found a favorite toy yet, but one thing is for sure: she loves treats!
