Story
Miss jingle is a small but fiesty fur ball who loves hanging in high places whether that be her cat tower or your shoulders. Her favorite places to sleep are anywhere soft and warm or cuddled up on your chest. She’s a very curious and lovable kitty and would make a great addition to any family. Unfortunately because she is a runt and quite small she tends to be bullied by others so her relationship with other cats are hit or miss. She tends to be okay with any calmer animals who don’t chase after her. Unfortunately do to our current living situation we’ve had multiple people move in with us who have pets and they aren’t so kind to her so I’ve had to make the heart breaking to decision to do what’s best for her and find her a better living situation. Please give this beautiful girl a good home where she can thrive and be at peace 🐱

Story
Theodore is approximately a year and a half old. He is indoor only. He came to my home from a farm area and was crying to come in my home in May 2025. He has since been treated for ear, mites and fleas and worms. He is fully healthy And uses the litter box. He loves to play with catnip and toys and some other cats. He is very sweet and kind and loving, and if given the space and time he will snuggle and sleep on your lap.

Story
Inkwell (“Inky”) – 2-year-old male catInkwell is a large, two-year-old cat. He’s friendly and affectionate, especially with women, and would likely do best in a home with a female adopter. He has been cautious around men, though he may warm up with time.He does well with children and knows his name—he’ll come when called. He enjoys attention, belly rubs, toys, and catnip. He’s also a good hunter and will catch mice and insects.Adopter Preference:Inkwell has shown a strong preference for women and is more relaxed and affectionate with them. He can be unsure around men, so a female adopter—or someone willing to give him extra time and patience—would be the best fit for him.

Story
A sweet cat who we just can't keep anymore due to asthma and allergies. He adjusts well to new people (does better with adults who can respect his space when he needs it) but will frequently come for attention from anyone. He doesn't do well with other pets. He has a health issue that leads to a sensitive stomach and skin but so long as he has his prescription food and is in a low stress environment he fairs well.

Story
Loki is a sweet guy. We found him when he was around 6 weeks old and was sick with a respiratory infection. We nursed him back to health and have given him 5 wonderful years with us. He loves to cuddle and will purr the whole time he's with you. He loves to play with his toy (Fetch is his favorite) and he does like going outside on a leash. My husband and I brought home our daughter in July of 2025 and with her being more mobile now it has been stressing Loki out and we are hoping to find him a home that will be less stressful for him. It hurts us to see him go because he is such a love but we both agree it's not fair for us to put him in a stressful environment even though we love him so much. He is on a Hills Urinary Tract food. The vet had said they didn't find crystals in his bladder but it was looking a bit aggravated.

Story
Meet Atlas — a stunning little panther with a heart just as big as his name. Believed to be around 2 years old, this gorgeous black cat came to us alongside his friend Allison and a dog named Yodel. Despite the rocky start, Atlas has remained a sweet and easygoing guy who seems to do well with other animals and people. Atlas is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and FeLV/FIV negative. He’s ready to trade in his past for a cozy home and a family to call his own. If you’re looking for a sleek, lovable shadow to follow you around, Atlas might just be your guy — and he wouldn’t mind going home with his friend Allison, too!

Meet Binx — the class clown with whiskers! At around 1½ years old, Binx came to us with his brother Blaze after being surrendered through no fault of their own. Now that he’s settling in, his goofy personality is really starting to shine! This playful guy previously lived with a dog and should do great in a home with other pets and kids. Binx is neutered, up to date on vaccines, FeLV/FIV negative, and ready to bring laughter, zoomies, and a little mischief to his forever home.
