Story
It may feel like winter outside, but your home can be as warm as summer inside, especially when you invite in brother and sister June and August! You know the snow and colder weather are coming- you should get ready now; not by insulating your windows, but by bringing home a summer kitten to keep your lap toasty and your heart warm! August, our grey tiger, is active and rambunctious, and ready to play. He's also a kitten, so he'll be ready to nap soon after! At just over 3 pounds, August is a big ol' pile of warm love. This duo was born in the middle of July, and are happy to share their sunny dispositions with you! Both of these summer lovers have also: -Tested negative for Feline Leukemia/FIV; -Received their first vaccinations; -Been treated for fleas and worms; and -Had a negative fecal test. The balance of their vaccinations and spay/neuter is included in our adoption plan. Is your idea of a perfect day spent with a kitty keeping your lap warm? Or maybe two, as winter comes closer?

You know the snow and colder weather are coming- you should get ready now; not by insulating your windows, but by bringing home a summer kitten to keep your lap toasty and your heart warm! June, our tiger tortie, is a quiet female who would rather watch the action than be a part of it (which makes her perfect for snuggling!) At just over 2 pounds, she is the perfect lap cat weight!

Story
We found Chaos in early December 2025. We simply took him in helping we would find his original family but to no avail. Since that time we have had him neutered microchipped and caught up on his shots. He gets along well with our small dogs and wants to play with our cat but the feelings aren't mutual. Chaos is high energy, loves to play and enjoys being around people. We have tried everything to help our other cat except Chaos into the mix but it is not happening. When we took chaos to have a neutered the vet said he was just about a year old. Chaos appears to have very strong hunting and prowling skills. Please consider rehoming this sweet boy.

Story
Ghost is the biggest cuddle bug you could ever hope to have in a cat! He gets along great with cats and older kids and has done well with both dogs we have had, big and small. He has not adapted well to having a new baby in the home and this is why we are interested in rehoming.
