Story
🎄 Meet Red Rider – A Little Christmas Miracle 🎄 On a cold day that felt straight out of a winter tale, a tiny orange-and-white kitten was heard crying for help from a pond. Cold, scared, and alone, this brave little soul refused to give up. And just in time, a kindhearted passerby heard his cries and knew she couldn’t leave him behind. She scooped him up, changing his story forever. That little kitten became Red Rider. When Red Rider arrived at rescue, he was a very sick boy — malnourished and loaded with parasites — but like any true Christmas miracle, love and care worked wonders. Thanks to a devoted foster and round-the-clock attention, Red Rider blossomed into the healthy, happy kitten he was always meant to be. Today, Red Rider is nothing short of magical. He’s sweet, affectionate, and full of joy. He loves to play, purrs like a tiny engine, and happily soaks up all the attention he can get. This courageous little guy has shown us just how much love can live in such a small package. Red Rider is now ready to find his forever family — the ones who will be his happily-ever-after. He still needs a few more vaccines and to be neutered, but don’t worry — that’s all covered by the rescue. We may never know how Red Rider ended up alone in a pond, but we do know this: he’s amazing, resilient, and has a very bright future ahead. This Christmas season, he’s wishing for one special gift — a home to call his own. Could that be with you? 🎁❤️

Story
Ever wondered why orange cats are without several brain cells? Well we have the answer! It’s because O Brother Where Art Thou stole every last one of them! Too smart to be tricked by treats with a heart set on exploration, Brother Where Art Thou is constantly trying to figure out the world around him through play. At 11 months old, he’s a jealous little man who will become very vocal if you give more attention to someone other than him. But that doesn’t mean he wants to be alone. He enjoys both other cats and finds dogs to be lovely playmates. When it’s time for a nap, you can scoop him up for some amazing snuggles. He might make a sound similar to a squeaky toy being squeezed, but worry not! He is perfectly fine. He’s just smart enough to be dramatic. He also tends to be quite skittish— but don’t be deceived, he’s not shy. He’s clever and clearly planning something mischievous.

Story
Hopscotch 🧡🐾 Orange Tabby Boy Hopscotch is a curious little orange tabby who marches to the beat of his own drum. He’s very much an independent toddler type — happy to explore, play, and observe the world on his own terms — but every day he’s showing more of his sweet personality as he comes out of his shell. Hopscotch enjoys playing with his foster siblings and would truly thrive in a home with another friendly kitty to show him the ropes and keep him company. While he’s not a fan of being picked up, he’s learning to trust and will come to you when he’s ready for pets, making those moments extra special. When he’s not batting toys around or tucked away in his favorite kitty house, you can find Hopscotch eagerly awaiting the best parts of the day: breakfast, snack, and dinner (food is very serious business for this guy 😄). Hopscotch is perfect for someone who appreciates a cat with independence, a gentle heart, and a playful spirit — and who understands that the best relationships grow with patience and time. If you’re looking to add a thoughtful, playful companion to a cat-friendly home, Hopscotch may be the perfect fit. 🧡

Story
Meet Alvin. Alvin is a gentle soul who’s having a very hard time in the shelter. He spends most of his days hiding, overwhelmed by the noise and constant change—but behind that fear is a cat who desperately wants to feel safe. You can see it in the way he quietly watches, hoping for someone patient enough to give him a chance. Alvin needs a calm home and a family with extraordinary patience—people who will let him move at his own pace and celebrate every small step he takes. He won’t be an instant lap cat, but the trust he’ll eventually place in you will be one of the most meaningful bonds you’ll ever build. If your heart has room for a cat who needs understanding more than anything, Alvin is waiting for you. He’s not asking for much—just safety, kindness, and someone who believes in him.

Meet Jet! Jet is a silky black gentleman with a soft heart to match his sleek coat. He is quite shy and takes time to open up, but once he feels safe and comfortable, his playful personality shines through! He is very affectionate but because the busy shelter environment was overwhelming for him, one of our wonderful fosters welcomed Jet into their home, where he's been able to relax and show us more of his sweet side. Jet needs an adopter who is patient and allows him to blossom at his own pace. He feels safest in a quiet home without chaos, children or other pets. Jet loves his wand toy and his purple shoe string is his favorite! He looks forward to crunchy treats and wet food, enjoys sleeping deep under the covers, viewing the world from his window perch and simply sitting close by in your company. Once he learns to trust, you'll be rewarded with a loyal and affectionate companion. My adoption fee is sponsored!! If you'd like to meet Jet, please fill out an application below!

Story
🐾🫧 Meet Hubba Bubba — “Bubby” to His Friends 🫧🐾 Every great kitten crew has that guy — the one who’s equal parts playful, sweet, and impossible not to love. That guy is Hubba Bubba, better known as Bubby. Bubby is a young male kitten with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He loves to play, especially when it involves wrestling, chasing, or tumbling around with his siblings. If there’s a game happening, Bubby is right in the middle of it, having the time of his life. But just like his namesake, Bubby is also wonderfully soft and sweet. When playtime winds down, he’s happy to settle in for cuddles, soaking up affection and purring contentedly. He’s a friendly, easygoing boy who enjoys companionship and thrives on love. Bubby gets along great with other cats and takes new things in stride, making him a wonderful fit for a home with existing pets. He’s the perfect mix of fun and affection — a kitten who will keep you laughing during the day and cozy at night. If your home could use a little extra joy and a whole lot of sweetness, Hubba Bubba is ready to stick around forever. 💕🐾

Pretty girl is sweet and loves to cuddle but is also kind of a fierce bad ass for her size. She might do best as an only cat. ( she likes to hiss & bopp others on the head when they get to close.
