Story
Leo is a gentle old man who has a quiet scratchy chirp for a voice. He is hard of hearing and limited vision in one eye. He has been a stray growing up in an apartment complex where he has been bullied by other cats and likely was hit by a car when he was a kitten. He walks with a limp and has one good eye. He had an infection as a kitten that wasn’t treated so unfortunately he lost vision in one eye because of that. He is litter box trained but would need time to decompress and adjust to life inside. He is friendly either his caretakers and walks with the couples dog. The dog shows no interest in him so he is good with him. He is an old man that just needs a place to retire and rest. He loves windows and would love a covered enclosed catio. He would do best in a home with no children and no rowdy cats or dogs. He needs a retirement home. He just needs a safe quiet clean place with a gentle voice, little pats here & there, not too much fuss, and a cozy spots to sleep.

Story
This is Juno, I adopted her as a kitten. She will be around 2 years old in March-April. She is a very sweet, affectionate girl. She is definitely the type to follow you all around the house just to keep you company and also to always see what you’re up to! She is also Gizmo’s mom (I should mention that because she has had kittens before, she can be quite territorial towards other female cats, so it would not be ideal to have her around other girls); they get along well, but they’re not quite a bonded pair. And just like her son, she is also a very playful girl, and loves toys and treats of all kinds!

Story
In search of a wonderful home for this kitty. Toby showed up at our home one day in July and never left. We took him in to give him a great home before we realized he was a TNR cat. He is absolutely wonderful and loving with adults and our 2 indoor male cats but not our 2 female ones. We would love to find him a loving home with someone who needs a great buddy. Not certain of age but definitely over a year or two old. He recently received a rabies shot as well. Although he is a TNR cat, we feel he needs the love from a human instead of being back outside alone to fend for himself. He follows you around the home everywhere you go, he will chirp and talk, literally give you hugs around your neck, loves to be in your lap and plays with much energy. Thank you for your consideration.

Story
This is Gizmo, He was born in May of 2025. He’s not the most affectionate, but he is a super playful boy. He can be pretty skittish, so although unconfirmed, I don’t think he would do well with kids. But he does well with other cats, especially the younger, hyperactive type. He loves any toys with long strings and bells, and especially catnip mice :)
