Story
Little Fuzzy is 9 weeks old as of this post, born Oct 2, one of a litter of 4 that our neighborhood stray, Tasha, had in a nearby open crawlspace of a house under construction. We tried to find them after they were born but Tasha kept giving us the slip! We found them at week 6 and captured them week 7. They have been in my office with their momma for the past 2 weeks. They have grown more acclimated to people but are still a little shy. When I snag them for a cuddle, they do relax and stay still for scratches and kisses. Little Fuzzy is the calmest and softest of the litter. She will steal your heart! She (we think) and her siblings just need patient, loving hands to hold them and feed them and play with them and hold them some more! Looking to get kittens into forever homes before Christmas!

Story
Baby was a kitten when he ran thru my yard 2 1/2 years ago and I have been feeding him since.. He is right eye vision impaired. FOF trapped, neutered, vaccinated for rabies, clipped his ear & returned him to me Jan 21, 2025. About a month ago, I saw a fresh wound on the top of his tail that progressive worsened. I took him to vet and they amputated the end of his tail, updated his rabies vaccine. He tested negative for feline leukemia so I have to wait till December 13th to have the tail sutures removed and receive the 1st feline leukemia vaccine & the booster following. My issue is I have a 15 year old cat that refuses to associate with Baby. Baby has lived on my covered front porch & he would to live indoors. He is so sweet, loving, quiet and longs to be a lap cat. I would keep him if I didn't have my territorial female cat. Baby uses the bathroom outside but used a cat box during his post op stay at the vet. I have cat beds, carrier etc. for Baby.

Story
Hello! My name is Emmeline. I am a petite, 8 lb, brown tabby cat looking for a forever home. I am an INDOOR kitty!! I am extremely sweet, affectionate with my favorite person, but very wary of strangers. I love to scratch on my cat scratch pad and love the cubby and hammock in my kitty condo. I also enjoy playing with my toy mice and cuddling with my favorite person. My current owner has developed severe allergies to me and as much as rehoming me breaks both of our hearts, we need to find a new home for me. I would do best in a home without dogs, small children, or other cats. I prefer a quiet home or a home with an adult person. Please find a place in your heart and home for me.
