Story
Evie is a vibrant, friendly, and easy-going kitten who just recently turned one. She has moderate cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), which means that she isn't able to stand or walk, and instead gets around by scooting around the rug. Despite her physical limitations, Evie is full of personality and is determined to live her best life. She is very content to relax and observe the goings-on around her from her cat tunnel. She loves to play with wand toys from her tunnel or on a rug. Evie does great with routine and is able to eat, drink, and use the litter box on her own once she is placed near them. Aside from being cute as a button, Evie is extremely friendly with both people and cats. She would do great with someone who is retired and or works from home, who can help her maintain a routine. We first found Evie as a young kitten abandoned outside a Petco in a cardboard box. She is now thriving and we are hoping to find her the loving home that she deserves! Evie is fully vaccinated and spayed. If you're interested in adopting her, please get in touch and we can share videos so you can see how she moves around with her condition.

Story
For over a decade, Blackie knew nothing but life on the streets. A true survivor, she never let her guard down—until now. When she was first rescued, she was cautious, always stepping in front of Baby to shield her. But deep down, Blackie longed for love too. Today, Blackie is learning to trust. She now enjoys head scratches, leans in for affection, and even rubs against her foster mom. She may need time to adjust to a new home, but once she trusts you, she will love you forever. She just needs someone who sees past her tough exterior to the sweet, deserving soul underneath. Blackie is looking for a home with Baby. She’s her protector, her guide, and they belong together.

Story
At just 4 years old, Baby has spent her entire life outdoors. But unlike Blackie, she always had a spark of curiosity about humans. She was the first to accept treats, the first to inch closer—but still, she needed Blackie to feel safe. She’s gentle, cautious, and still figuring out that humans = love. She lets herself be spoiled with treats and soft words. She refuses to eat unless someone feeds her by hand (a true princess!). Baby needs a kind and patient adopter - someone who will give her the reassurance she craves. With Blackie by her side, she's well on her way to becoming the house cat she was always meant to be. She needs someone who won’t give up on her.

Story
Meet Erik, a friendly and affectionate 21-month-old tuxedo cat who needs a safe place to land before he can find his forever home. Named after the Phantom of the Opera, Erik was either lost or abandoned and found his way to a backyard where he’s been living alongside a feral cat in outdoor shelters. Unfortunately, the homeowners won't bring him inside and are now threatening to take him to the ACC. Being FIV+, he'll most likely be euthanized. Erik has already been vetted—he’s neutered, vaccinated, and FIV+. But don’t let that worry you! He’s a gentle soul, not a fighter, and can safely live with non-FIV+ cats. The vet and techs all fell in love with him, commenting on how incredibly sweet he was. He just needs a foster home to help him adjust to indoor life so he can find the love and security he deserves.

Story
Meet Taco, a spirited little kitten with a heart full of courage. Rescued from a backyard where he and his brother Chico were found dirty, flea-ridden, and suffering from diarrhea, Taco's early days were tough. They cried for days after their mom went missing, but their fortunes changed when they were brought to safety. Now, Taco is thriving in his foster home, where he's part of a lively group of cats, including his new adoptive mom, Supernova, and four playful foster siblings. Taco’s a mischievous boy, full of energy, who loves to wrestle with the big boys and explore every nook and cranny. Despite his playful nature, he still finds comfort in snuggling up to Supernova, enjoying the warmth and love he missed out on before. Taco is now looking for a forever home where he can continue to grow, play, and share his love. Could you be the one to give him that chance?

Story
Rudolf Gryzlik is the ultimate self-care guru - always looking sharp and smelling fresh! He takes his grooming sessions very seriously and even mentors younger cats on the art of looking fabulous. Rudolf Gryzlik was found behind a store in Astoria during a summer of relentless, heavy rains. He was drenched to the bone, soaked and shivering, and had cried so desperately for help that he lost his voice. When rescuers found him, he was silent, but his eyes said everything. Thanks to their compassion and quick action, Rudolf was finally safe and began his journey toward healing. Rudolf is living with one of our fosters, and he's awaiting his forever home.

It's amazing how MARCO developed from a shy boy to the "leader of teh gang" - always ready for some mishevious moves..

He rubs against his foster parent seeking for attention and of course when the treat bags shaking - super cute!.

Story
Squish is a 5-month-old black kitten with a lot of love to give and a little extra character. He’s blind in one eye due to corneal scarring—it’s permanent, doesn’t need treatment, and doesn’t bother him at all. He gets around just fine and lives a totally normal kitten life. He’s super affectionate and wants attention from everyone—people, cats, dogs, whoever’s available. He’ll rub up on you (and everything else) just to remind you he’s there and would like some pets, please and thank you. He can get a little intense about affection when he’s excited, but it’s all in good fun. Because of his vision, he sometimes gets startled or a little growly if something surprises him—his depth perception is off, so things can catch him off guard. But he’s never aggressive, just momentarily unsure. He recovers quickly and goes right back to being a sweet, wiggly little guy. He gets along well with other cats and dogs and would do great in a home that understands he’s figuring things out in his own way. He’s a genuinely good kitten who just wants someone to love on him as much as he wants to love on them.
