Story
Hello all! Meet Goose! The sweetest little feral turned house kitten that you will ever meet! Goose unfortunately came into my care after his mom was hit by a car. I noticed him, thin and timid, scavenging for food around my building. After 2 and 1/2 months of patience, care, and love he is officially ready to become someone's snuggly companion! Here are some fun goose facts: - he is around 6 months old, and was neutered through the county's catch and release program. TNVR (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Release) is the practice of trapping feral cats, sterilizing them, vaccinating them and releasing them to live out the rest of their days in peace and freedom. This is why he has a clipped ear - he has been dewormed, ears, treated and cleaned regularly, and treated for fleas, ticks and heartworm - although he was very shy at first, goose slowly opened up and has now become an absolute glutton for snuggles. He enjoys being held, as well as purring in your lap for pets for as long as you will

Story
Kitty is loving and snuggly after getting to know you. Even though he is 10 years old he is still playful. My Dad has had to move to assisted living out of state and can no longer take care of him. My Dad’s next door neighbor and friend has been taking care of Kitty in his home since my Dad was in the hospital and rehab May 6 th, 2024. We are now faced with selling the home, and need to rehome Kitty as soon as possible… If it weren’t for allergies in our family we would take Kitty. We know there is the perfect family for Kitty out there somewhere!

Story
Stormy was born on February 19th, 2019 making him 5 years old. He had always been on the moody side and has a bit of a temper. He likes to cuddle but only when he initiates it. We unfortunately have to rehome him due to his aggression towards my toddler. We have never been able to get him used to kids and for her safety, and Stormy’s comfort, we would like to find him a happy home (preferably with no small kids). He likes to sneak licks of beer and wine but will not eat human food. He likes to sun bathe and tries to occasionally escape (but he always comes back). He gets along with other pets and likes to rough around with them. He is not very vocal unless he wants something but he likes to hiss at something he does not like. Despite his aggression, he really is usually a good boy and he deserves all the love someone can give him.

Meet Gretel. She is a bundle of joy with a heart full of love and whiskers full of mischief. At first glance, Gretel may seem shy and reserved, but underneath that gentle exterior lies a heart of gold waiting to blossom. Once she gets to know you, she transforms into a furry bundle of affection and warmth. She loves to chase things and play hide and seek. She is approximately one and a half years old and in perfect health. She also has a brother Hansel who she loves dearly. She is looking for a new home where she can receive the love and attention she deserves.

Story
I rescued these 2 male older kittens as well as the Mother and 4 babies from an acquaintance that had them In horrible conditions and not feeding them often. I couldnt let the cats go like this, so I am fostering but really am unable to keep them. I have advanced stage 4 breast cancer and do not have much time on this earth left unfortunately. I would be happy to keep and properly take care of these cats if I were able. I also have moved in with my sister due to my health and she is extremely allergic to cats and is being confined to her room and office due to this and she has 3 dogs whom are also confined to those rooms and I can't ask her to remain confined in her own home for too much longer. I really was interested in finding a loving home for both of these loving kitties. They can go together or seperate. They are both litter trained and were going outside but I would prefer to have a forever home for these young boys be inside, at least for the most part.
