Story
Smokey is a young male American Shorthair. We rescued Smokey and his companion, Momma, from an abandoned house this past winter. They are a bonded pair and get along great together, but we have found they are not a good fit for a home with other cats.Smokey is:• Bonded with Momma (must be adopted together)• Spayed/Neutered and microchipped• Up-to-date on all vaccinations• Litter box trained• Good with kidsWe are looking for a loving home that will adopt this pair together. It is not fair to keep them separated from our original cats to prevent fighting, so they would do best as the only two cats in their new home.💰 Rehoming fee: $0

Story
🤎 Meet Nutmeg – A Quiet Survivor with the Sweetest Heart 🤎 Nutmeg is a 4-year-old boy who has been through more than most — and his journey makes his gentle love even more special. As a feral kitten, Nutmeg took a long time to learn that people could be kind and safe. With patience, consistency, and love, he has made incredible progress and now truly enjoys human companionship. He loves scratches, treats, and playtime, but he’s also perfectly happy relaxing nearby and soaking in the calm of a peaceful home. Nutmeg is still shy, and a new environment will take some adjustment, so he’s looking for a quiet, low-stress forever home with someone who understands that trust is earned — and incredibly rewarding. Once he feels safe, Nutmeg is affectionate, loving, and an absolute joy to be around. He does well with other cats but would prefer a home without dogs or young children, as too much noise or activity can be overwhelming for him. ✨ Nutmeg at a Glance: • 4 years old • Neutered, fully vetted & microchipped • FIV/FeLV negative • Former feral kitten who has made amazing progress • Sweet, gentle, and loving • Enjoys scratches, treats, and playtime • Loves to relax and chill • Gets along with other cats • Best in a quiet home • No dogs, no young children 💛 A Note About Joy: Nutmeg’s sister, Joy, is also here at the rescue. While they are not bonded and do not need to be adopted together, they come from similar backgrounds and have both made wonderful progress on their journeys from feral kittens to loving companions. Nutmeg is ready for a forever home where he can continue to blossom at his own pace and be loved for exactly who he is. If you’re looking for a gentle, grateful companion with a heart full of quiet love, Nutmeg may be the one you’ve been waiting for. 🤎🐾

💛 Meet Joy – A Gentle Soul Learning to Trust 💛 Joy is a 4-year-old girl who has come such a long way — and her journey is truly something special. As a feral kitten, Joy was once very scared of people and the world around her. With patience, consistency, and love, she has begun to open up and show her sweet, gentle personality. She now enjoys treats, playtime, and quiet moments where she can relax and feel safe. Joy is still shy, and a new environment will be a big adjustment for her. She is looking for a quiet, low-stress home with an adopter who understands that trust takes time and is willing to let her come out of her shell at her own pace. For the right person, watching Joy blossom is incredibly rewarding. She does well with other cats but would prefer a home without dogs or young children, as too much activity can be overwhelming for her. ✨ Joy at a Glance: • 4 years old • Spayed, fully vetted & microchipped • FIV/FeLV negative • Former feral kitten who has made wonderful progress • Sweet, gentle, and quiet • Loves treats and playtime • Enjoys relaxing and observing • Gets along with other cats • Best in a calm, quiet home • No dogs, no young children Joy is proof that love, patience, and understanding can truly change a life. She’s ready for a forever home where she can continue building confidence and be loved for exactly who she is. If you’re looking for a gentle companion and believe in giving a shy cat the time she needs to feel safe, Joy may be the perfect match for you. 💛🐾

Story
Hello, Ira is 1 years old spayed and comes from a big cat family. Though he's been raised with other cats, he much prefers a human's company. Preferably someone who's able to give him lots of love and attention. Any big gathering of people you'll find him sitting on the couch like he's a part of the party. He is still young so he likes to play. On top of it all he is a big hugger. He likes being picked up and hugged. Overall, Ira was a gift to my younger sister but unfortunately she is far too busy to give him the life he deserves. And I personally already have two cats in there forever. I'm hoping Ira can find his.
