Story
Hi! I am Drizzle! I was found in a backyard living under a shed in August as a 4-month old kitten. I am now 6-7 months old! I took a lot longer to trust people so my other kitty siblings were adopted quickly and my mom was trapped, fixed, and a barn home was found since she would do best outside of a home. I have all my distemper vaccines and my mom tested negative for FIV, FELV, and heartworm so I should be negative for all those too! I am now fixed and fully vaccinated as of November 20th. I am very shy and skittish, but I am coming around. I love being a shadow and watch everything you do from making a meal to brushing your teeth. I am a SUPER playful kitty. I only accept pets when I have a churu but I will accept nose boops without a treat. Otherwise I will run away and hide if you try to pet me. I require a home that will let me grow in my own time! Good with dogs (large and small) and cats!

Story
This summer we discovered that a mother cat and her three kittens were living under our deck. We went through much effort to track the mother cat as she moved her family around the neighborhood over the next few months. Eventually we were able to locate, feed and ultimately capture the kittens in September (mother cat was spayed and released). Since then, the three kittens have been in "house cat" training in our home. They are now adorable, social, and healthy 6 month old kittens who are ready to find their fur-ever homes. They are spayed/neutered and vaccinated. This particular adoptable kitten is Skitty. She is energetic, curious, and loves to be part of the action. She’s the smallest of the litter but has the biggest personality! ** Please note that the $200 adoption fee is to partially reimburse the vet costs for spay/neuter and vaccines. The expense of fostering these kittens has far exceeded that but we consider it money well spent :-)

Story
This is Bingo, a 1.5 year old boy who is looking for a home without cats. He is affectionate, loves to chase a laser around, and be wherever you are. He is litter box trained, neutered, and has all his shots (he will be due for more shots in the spring) He will be shy at first, but once he comes out of his shell he is a funny little man and a joy to have at home.

Meet O Brother Where Art Thou! This 6-month-old orange tabby boy might start off a little shy, but once he’s comfortable, his playful spirit takes over.

Whether it’s batting toys, wrestling with other cats, or finding creative ways to entertain himself, O Brother is always up for a good time. If you’re looking for a playful partner in crime with a tender side, O Brother Where Art Thou might just be your match.

Story
Meet Hopscotch — the Playground Pro! Born on April 23, 2025, this bouncy orange tabby boy got his name honestly. At 6 months old, he was spotted right on a school playground, happily trotting from kid to kid like he was joining recess. Hopscotch wasn’t shy—he was introducing himself to everyone, hoping one of those friendly faces would be his forever family. Luckily, a sweet young teacher noticed this brave little explorer and scooped him up before the cold weather could chase him away. Since then, Hopscotch has been soaking up all the love he can get. He’s decided dogs are pretty okay, and he absolutely loves running and pouncing with the family cats—like his own furry game of tag. And just like any good playground buddy, he knows when it’s time to switch from play to cuddle. After supper, Hopscotch loves being held like a baby, giving soft, sweet-eye looks and powering up his biggest purrs. But don’t let his gentle side fool you—this boy has a spot-on sense of time. If mealtime is even a minute late, Hopscotch will kindly “ding-dong” you with his best reminders. With his bright orange coat and sunshiney personality, he’s ready to jump into his next adventure. This gorgeous tabby can’t wait to meetp his forever family—and he’s already saving a spot for you in his next game of hopscotch. 💛🐾
