Story
I rescued Binx from a shelter when he was very young, almost 7 years ago. Binx is very loving and loves to be cuddled and sleep on my lap. He has always been an only cat, so I don’t know how he would do with other cats or dogs. I can’t keep Binx because my landlord will not allow me to bring him to the home I am moving to. I want Binx to go to a loving home where he will be loved as much as he has been while with me.

Story
This is missy, she is very sweet she is a 2 year old black cat fixed and has her shots, she loves to play and hang out in high places. Unfortunately me and my family have to rehome her due to major life changes. She would work best in an only cat house hold/very minimal animal contact. She does not want to be outside. Pm me for any questions!

Story
Meet Tipsy: A Sweet Senior Seeking Her Golden Home Tipsy joined us in February after her person passed away. This charming girl has quickly shown us her unique personality! At an estimated 12-16 years old (a delightful surprise, as we initially were told she was 6!), Tipsy is a resilient and affectionate senior who's likely mostly or completely deaf. Don't worry though, she has a very distinctive and loud meow that lets you know exactly what she wants! This girl has a huge purr motor and absolutely demands chin pets—she'll let you know when it's time for some love. While she's not a fan of being picked up, she thrives on gentle affection and finds comfort in tucking away in a cozy hidey hole. Tipsy is a trooper, gracefully adapting to change with patience. She's currently on medication to help manage her heart murmur and elevated thyroid, liver, and heart functions, and she's doing great. And watch out: if she gets a little spooked, she can be very fast! She tolerates other pets but isn't looking to form close friendships—she's more interested in her human companions. Tipsy also has a few quirks, like her strong preference for potty breaks on non-carpeted surfaces (she's had no accidents on wood floors!). And if you ever need to move her in a carrier, be prepared for some dramatic "yelling"—it's just her way of protesting! Tipsy is a special, loving senior who deserves a patient and understanding forever home where she can enjoy her golden years feeling safe, cherished, and adored for all her wonderful quirks. Could your home be the purr-fect fit for Tipsy?

Story
Priss comes from a litter of 5. I have her sisters and brothers available also. All are very sweet, lovable, playful and can’t get enough pets from you. They are almost a year old.. born January 19, 2025. I would love to keep them all but do not have the space where I’m moving to. They were all inside cats until recently and have decided they like hanging out in the “wild”. They would make great indoor or outdoor pets.

Story
Mable is a five-year-old cat who prefers to watch the world from the quiet edges of a room. She’s shy with new people and usually keeps her distance, but those who earn her trust get to see her softer side—gentle head bumps, a slow blink, or a soft purr. Mable notices everything: a new plant in the corner, a changed routine, even the sound of her human’s footsteps before they reach the door. She’s happiest perched on a windowsill or tucked into a cozy corner, quietly studying her surroundings, and while she may not demand attention, she gives it back in the sweetest, most thoughtful ways when she feels safe.
