Story
Tundra is cuddler for sure. Eating and being held are close favorites as long as he gets to sniff your face! He also get excited for playtime, though slightly less than his sister. Named for his long orange fur, tundra is a bonded pair with his littermate, girl (the only girl of her litter) they are 5 months old this November 4th (birthday June 4 2022), generally socialized and potty trained. Both have had spay/neuter and rabies shot 11/11/2022. We were unable to do the other vaccinations. Girl, loves to play and enjoys brief cuddles. They both really like food over most things especially if it's been wet a little bit with water ( I can probably donate a 12lbs bag or so of their food-American journey chicken grain free). I am hoping to have them rehomed as a bonded pair.

Story
Introducing Missy, a 6yr old indoor feline with a gray coat and seafoam eyes. She has a stoic nature and a gentle heart and will be a loyal and devoted companion to the fortunate individual who welcomes her into their life. Missy has behavioral issues that stem from her anxiety triggered by our Persian cat when we moved in together two years ago. Prior to that, Missy lived happily with our third cat; they were paired as kittens in a shelter. To ensure their safety, Missy and the Persian are always kept apart. In hopes that they might live peacefully, we have been working with a professional behaviorist to find Missy the right medications and facilitate behavioral integration exercises, but have been unsuccessful after 2+ years. We are now seeking a peaceful and loving forever home for Missy, where she can be herself. Given her preference for quieter surroundings, her ideal home would be one without any other furry companions or small children.

Story
Gigi is a special girl and it breaks my heart but I need to find a good loving home for this girl. Gigi is a formerly feral neighborhood cat. I had been feeding her and she sort of took to me. She’s been living in my basement as a sort of indoor/outdoor cat since last year, when I brought her in to help her when she had a respiratory infection. I think she is ready for more and deserves more. She’s initially cautious with new people, and can still hiss or even swat on occasion, so she’ll need time to adjust with anyone new and space to gain trust. If you have the patience for that she can be an affectionate cat. She needs a person with a good heart who’s willing to work with her rough edges. Once she lets you in she’s a loyal and loving cat. Not 100% sure if she would be good with other cats.

Philly is a sweet, playful boy who gets along both with people and cats. He is very food motivated and would enjoy any kind of cat food you offer him, although wet cat food is his favorite! He is around 2.5 years old.

Story
She is 4 years old!! We started feeding Lily Bear when she showed up outside our home, we never brought her inside until it started getting cold. She is the sweetest cat ever, she is very calm and low key cat that is just happy to have you in the room. She would love to just sit next to you while you watch TV or work for home. She plays a little but mostly just likes to be pet. She LOVES to be brushed. Please note that she is FeLV+ and she needs a home with other FeLV+ cats or to be an only cat. Otherwise she is healthy and FeLV+ cats almost ALWAYS live a normal cat life. If you need more information please reach out!! This diagnosis does not stop her from being the sweetest cat EVER. My family and I would keep her but we have resident cats that are not FeLV+ and cannot integrate her with them, if we could we would. I would love to find her the most loving home ever because she will be the best friend you ever have! ADOPTION FEE IS NEGOTIABLE

A family friend gifted me the cat, he is sweet, cuddly, affectionate, and very talkative. He has some behavior issues with marking. In a new home for him I'm looking for someone caring who has a lot of time and energy to spend on him.

Story
My wife and I took Mittens in when our friend was going to drop her off at the pound. We have had her for 5 years but her and our two other cats just cannot get along. With a heavy heart we believe that she would be better off as an only pet with a new owner. She is a very low maintenance cat. She loves attention but can keep herself occupied with no problem. Once she warms up to you, she will most likely be very cuddly. She loves being around my wife and me but will not stick around when the other cats join us. Please note that we will happily take her back if the rehoming does not work - no questions asked!

Story
Est. Age 5-5 1/2 months. My boss found 3 kittens in his engine a few months ago and I took the 2 bonded sisters while we try to find them homes. They are very friendly kittens that LOVE to play and cuddle. Very good eaters they’re currently on Purina pro plan kitten for dry food and tiki cat for wet food. They love fluffy toys (mice and fluffy ball toys) and to climb. They are really bonded to each other. They drink from a fountain and bowls. They have never bit or scratched me or any human since they’ve been in my care. They got along with my boss’s cats and his small dog. They got a long with my girlfriend’s pitbull no problem. They aren’t scared cats by any means they just need a few days to warm up to the environment.
