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
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
Gypsy is one of two siblings that are a bonded pair. Her brother’s name is Ghost. They are two sides of the same coin. She is very friendly and lovable. She likes to play and has a lot of energy. She is a climber. She has a tendency to “talk” when she needs something. She is very loving of her brother and is very curious. She has been around a smaller dog for short periods of time. When her and her brother were kittens a dog jumped on their crate trying to attack them. They haven’t opened up to dogs, but she doesn’t hide. I am looking for someone who will show them both love and not separate them.

Story
Ghost has a sister Gypsy and they are a bonded pair. Ghost is a very loving cat who enjoys being groomed. He can be a little timid with people he doesn’t know at first. He isn’t as vocal as his sister, but if it’s been awhile since he has had attention he will let you know. He loves to play and he is not aggressive. When he wants to be petted he will stand by your chair or couch and reach over to tap you on the arm. He is full of personality and greets you at the door everyday. Both him and his sister are grazers and don’t have a special time to eat.

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
Norma Jean is a special lady who was discovered under a home in Denver, where she was likely doing what loving mothers do best - protecting and caring for her family. This sweet momma cat has a gentle wisdom about her that makes her truly one of a kind. What sets Norma Jean apart is her thoughtful nature. She's the type of cat who observes the world around her with intelligent, caring eyes. You can almost see the wheels turning as she takes in her surroundings and the people in her life. Her kind spirit shines through in every interaction - she approaches life with a gentle grace that's both calming and endearing. Norma Jean's loving personality makes her an ideal companion for someone who appreciates a cat with depth and character. She's not just sweet - she's genuinely kind, the type of feline friend who seems to understand when you need comfort and offers her quiet presence as a gift. After her time as a devoted mother, Norma Jean is ready to focus all that maternal love and thoughtful attention on her forever family. She's looking for a peaceful home where her gentle, contemplative nature will be cherished and her loving heart will be appreciated. Could you be the perfect match for this wise and wonderful lady?
