Story

Toby needs a happy home! Toby came to me in December as a sick stray cat. He was terrified of people. After months of working with him and feeding him, he eventually became one of the sweetest cats I’ve seen. He enjoys baths and being drenched with the hose on a hot summer day, laps for really long naps, and lots of churros. Toby had stomatitis in his mouth and needed all his teeth removed. He now has his four front teeth. This does NOT hinder him, he just needs water to soften the food. He is also FIV positive but gets along with my cats and is not phased by dogs.

Story

I am looking for an indoor-only home for my baby. He is terrified of the outdoors and won’t let me take him outside. He’s a spicy almost 1.5 year old boy who likes to nap on top of my bed, the couch, and the highest cabinet possible. He can open doors with up and down handles, and can open kitchen cabinets too. He eats mostly wet food, but loves his treats and has shredded an entire bag to get them. He has been with other cats before, but when he was little he was by himself, so he’s a little nippy sometimes, but not aggressive. Just fussy about dinner or his litter box being clean enough. Almost no accidents other than spraying before he was neutered, but I still try to avoid leaving clothes where he can pee on them. He’s my baby, and it breaks my heart to give him up, but my roommate and cousin has a more severe cat allergy so I can’t keep him. Please come meet this precious stinker. Adoption fee is mostly for his stuff and to make sure he finds a good home.

Story

This baby is so social...he was born inside and handled since birth. Alvin and his siblings, Simon, Theo, and Cleo are so chill. They would be awesome additions to any family. They are used to cats and dogs!! Alvin is just at 8 weeks and is undergoing his kitten booster shots. He is available for adoption and his neuter is scheduled for end of August/September when is older. We would only adopt Alvin out with a sibling or to a family with another kitty. We give an awesome discount for 2 so you have twice the love. Alvin will thrive best with a play-buddy to help socialize him and grow up knowing how hard to play and interact with other kitties. Kittens learn this from their fur brothers and sisters!! To meet Alvin and his gang please email info@angelstotheanimals.org or Edenlake1@yahoo.com Must be 22 to apply.

Story

Butterscotch is 4 and Layla is 2. They're sweet kitties who like to snuggle, play with each other and enjoy time outside in our fenced in back yard watching birds that fly by. I adopted Butterscotch when she was 7 months old in November 2020. Layla was adopted on Labor Day of 2023. Butterscotch loves to sit by you and be lazy. She's curious what you're doing and wants to just be around. She enjoys playing with her wand toys while she lays on her toy basket. She'll play for a few minutes before she's over it lol. Layla will play with anything any time. She enjoys mouse toys, scrunchers, wands with strings, and little springs she can chase around the room. They like wrestling and chasing each other. When it's warm, they both spend hours outside sleeping and watching birds. When it gets colder, Butterwcotch would prefer to just stay warm and cozy inside. I love these little girls so much, and they deserve to find a home they can both move to and continue their lives as happy, funny girls!

Koda is an 8-week-old Tortie/Domestic shorthair mix that is so sweet and loves to play and snuggle. My name is Dakota, but my foster mom and dad call me Koda. I have the best time playing with my sister Harvey and brother Maverick. I have the coolest beauty mark on my cheek. When I'm not chasing my siblings I can be found snuggling with my sister in my favorite blanket. I am bonded with her and would love to be with her forever. I will be getting my first round of vaccines soon. Please reach out to my Foster Mom if you are interested in adopting my sister and me.
