Story
Jade was rushed into our vet office, on 12/4/25, the day after she gave birth to her two babies, due to a prolapse. Our vet was able to fix her up, and she stayed, with her babies, at the vet office for three weeks, until we were able to move them into a foster home together. She has been an excellent mom throughout the whole time we have had her. She can be a little vocal, but able to be handled & is very accepting of getting pet. We have no doubt that she will be very well socialized by the time she is ready to go to her foster to forever home. She is with a foster family who is excellent at socializing her fosters. Once her babies are weened, she will be available for foster to adopt. We are taking applications for her, and she will be ready to go to her foster to adopt home towards the end of January/beginning of February.

Story
This little cutie, Jasper, was rushed into our vet office with his sister and mom on December 4, 2025, just one day after he was born. They were covered in fleas, but overall thriving. Mom has been taking excellent care of them since they came in. They spent their first 3 weeks at the vet office, until we had a spot for them with one of our fosters. He will be ready to go to his foster to adopt home once he is weened, and starts his vetting & vaccines. We are taking applications on him now, but he should be ready to separate from mom around the end of January/beginning of February.

Story
Meet Fig: an irresistibly sweet, snuggly young cat looking for her forever home. Fig (AKA Figgy, Figster, or Figgerino) is believed to have been abandoned—I brought her inside after a few weeks outdoors with no owner found. She's up to date on her shots and the vet says she's healthy and estimates she is just under a year old. Fig is incredibly affectionate, happiest curled up by your side getting pets or jumping up to boop noses. She's also learning to play and loves toys she can bunny-kick. Fig is friendly and curious with other animals, showing gentle interest in both a resident dog and an adult cat. With a proper introduction, she would enjoy living with other pets (particularly cats), and would probably do well with children, too. She warmed up to indoor life quickly—she is trusting, easy to care for, uses the litter box perfectly and has a healthy appetite. If you are looking for a loving, gentle companion, Fig is ready to meet you.

Story
Patches is a playful, smart, and well behaved boy who would love to come home with you! He is bright and full of energy. He has a big personality, and loves chasing his tail and talking to his humans. Patches (and his five siblings) were found on August 13th, and has been loved and cared for by his foster parents ever since. They believe he is around 5 months old now. He is litterbox trained, and knows to play with his claws sheathed. His favorite toys are laser pointers, feather sticks, and balls, and he loves the scratching post. Once you meet him, you will fall in love with his sweet demeanor and the little squeaks and chirps he makes. His foster parents love him very much, but can't keep him forever since they have two other cats.

Story
Jasper is a sweet and affectionate cat who loves getting attention from his humans. He is a lap cat through and through, and will sit on top of you or near you as much as he can throughout the day. He often slinks behind the computer monitor while his foster dad is gaming and loves to keep him company. He loves to snuggle at bedtime, and lounge around the house during the day. Jasper's foster parents fell in love with him from the moment they brought him home, and they intended on keeping him once he was fixed and received all of his shots. Sadly, it turns out that little Jasper needs to be the only cat of the house. He gets anxious around other animals, and he does not like to be around his foster parent's other cat. He was found as a stray on June 25th 2025, and his foster parents' believe he is around one year old. He is fully up to date on all of his vaccines, and he had a full exam panel done at Westpark Animal Hospital where he tested negative for all diseases and conditions.

Story
Fiona was adopted by my brother from the APL when she was 3 months old. She is now 10, and a few months ago my brother had to go into long-term care. He can no longer care for Fiona and I cannot find anyone who can take her. Fiona is a sweetheart, gentle and loving, healthy, and playful. She appears much younger than her age. She's currently in a foster home, and she needs to find a forever home now. Fiona is very shy at first, but after adjusting to the foster home, she came out of her shell and loves sitting on a lap, snuggling and purring. A patient adopter in a quiet home would be ideal, and Fiona will make a wonderful companion. Fiona's foster mom sometimes has other foster cats/kittens in the next room, and Fiona seems happy when she hears other cats around, so it is possible she would get along with another gentle cat. Fiona uses the litter box with no problems. She has no behavior issues, health issues, or special needs. Please consider this beautiful sweetheart.
