Story
Lucy and Ethel are a bonded pair from Texas, Lucy is the mother to Ethel and they are incredibly sweet. Lucy is a pretty vocal kitty and loves to let you know when she's hungry or wants attention. She is much braver than Ethel, who is skittish and very anxious. After she's warmed up to you however she can be pretty sweet, though she's a bit of a brat with the litter box. She's picky about the cleanliness of it if you don't keep up with their potty breaks Ethel also tends to try and eat Lucy's food if they aren't separated, and they will beg a little bit for people food. Don't give into their cute looks, however. Also, neither of them really like being picked up and held. Overall they're wonderfully sweet girls, they are very good with people and other pets but a little more on the shy side, as long as you're patient with them they'll show off their wonderful personalities eventually. (They can't be separated)

Patrica is 2 years old. She is shy and very sweet and likes to play. She’s a picky eater. Never had accident in the house. Only peed in her carrier once because she was scared. I am not home enough to give her the attention she needs.

Story
Snake is a stray cat that we’ve been feeding for a few months now. He loves to curl up in a warm lap and be swaddled like a baby, but only likes head scritches. He purrs like a motorboat if you scratch his head or chin just right. Pet him anywhere else and he’ll let you know to stop with a little warning nip… he’s never actually punctured skin or attacked anyone though. He’s very playful and loves following people around, often walking right next to them or running between their legs. He definitely does it for attention, so if you want a cuddly little guy who will never leave your side, please consider giving Snake a home.

Story
Meet Ember, a sweet, cuddly lovebug Torbie who will seamlessly fit into your family life. She is 3 years old and her favorite things are snuggling while we watch TV, playing with cotton balls and pompoms, cuddles and pets at bedtime, watching birds out the window, and churu treats. She is great with kids and will thrive in a predictable, calm, indoor only, one-cat household with an experienced and patient cat owner who can limit stress.Earlier this year, Ember's relationship with her littermate and sister drastically changed when her sister began showing aggression toward her daily. Our hearts are broken, but Ember deserves a home where she can thrive.This stress caused idiopathic cystitis, which will resolve - once the cause of stress is taken away. (Much diagnostic testing shows no underlying health issues.) I'm happy to answer any questions about this. Ember will provide you as much joy and love as she has for us. She has a multitude of amazing qualities. Please reach out.

Flora is a gentle grey tabby with a soft short coat and a wonderfully calm presence. She moves through the day with quiet grace, preferring peaceful moments over chaos. Because of her food restrictions, her meals are carefully chosen, yet she accepts them with the same serene patience that defines her nature. Soft, steady, and content, Flora brings a quiet comfort to everyone around her. Vaccines are up to date.

Story
This is MoonBoy! We unfortunately have to find a new home for this sweet stray baby we found a couple months ago 😞 We’ve tried our best, but he is very aggressive towards dogs probably due to his street-life and i think he would absolutely thrive in a dog-less household. He does get along with our other cat but can play a little too rough so adjusting to another cat would be possible but would take a little time.We think he’s around 2-3 years old and possibly a Bombay. He’s very sweet and affectionate and absolutely adores people, and loves to play. Hes incredibly athletic and would be an excellent working cat. Bombay cats were bred to be miniature panthers and you will absolutely see it in him. If you have a mouse problem he will make short work of it!He was neutered last month but still needs his shots/meds updated. We’re truly so sad to let him go and hope to find him a loving home. Please message me if you or someone you know might be a good fit.
