Story
Max is a sweetheart who is happiest snuggling in a lap or snoozing under a bed. He loves pets and attention. He has lived his whole life with another cat, so with time I'm sure he'd adjust to living with a new cat. He hasn't been around a dog since he came to live with us at 10 wks old. I think he'd do fine with a mellow dog. Max spent the first 4 wks of his life living outside with a feral mom, so his fight or flight instincts are very present but it's ALWAYS flight. He has never been at all aggressive. He runs away when people come into the house but will return if it's a person he's comfortable with. I do think a noisier/busier home would be too stressful for him. When my kids and grandkids come over as a bigger group, he stays hidden away until they leave. He will come out for quieter guests that come around often. He has never had any litter box issues and his front claws have been removed. I want to find him a home with someone who will love him like we do. (DOB 4/9/19)

Story
This is the sweetest kitty you will ever meet! Very calm, chill and loving with adults, kids and other pets around. Her story is a sad one as someone dumped her and left her to fend for herself. When she showed up at our home she was very skinny!! We started to feed her and gave her a home on our porch with a box and blankets and she has been here ever since. We feel like she used to be an indoor cat because she wants in our house so bad however we can't because of our Maine Coone cat who does not do well around other animals. She however is very sweet!!! We hope to find her a loving indoor home!!

Pallas is sweet and loving. I adopted her about 3 years ago, but I’m renting and my landlord won’t allow a pet. She’s great with my mom’s two smaller dogs and cat - we lived in the home with them for two years and she loved hanging out with the dogs! She likes to be held and will cuddle up with you on the sofa. She’s vocal and likes to have chats, which makes her great company for a single person. She’s well behaved, litter trained and not a scratcher.

Meet Opal! Introducing the newest star in our fur family, Opal! This charming white female kitten has just a dab of gray on her head and a touch of peach on her hiney and the bottoms of her feet, making her a unique beauty. Born around 8/1/2023, she's a sprightly nine months old and weighs just over 4 pounds—perfectly petite! Opal is the epitome of health and happiness, being feline leukemia/FIV negative, spayed, and up-to-date on her vaccinations. She's been treated for fleas and worms, passing all her health exams with flying colors. The remainder of her vaccinations are all set as part of our adoption package. This little ball of fluff is not just adorable but also incredibly friendly and playful. Opal loves her adventures and cuddles equally, with a wild side that adds to her charm. She gets along well with other kitties, making her an ideal addition to a loving family. If you've been searching for a sweet, spirited feline companion, Opal might just be the one!
