Story
Sunshine is 3 years old and Izzy is 2. We adopted them when they were both kittens. Unfortunately my wife is allergic and the allergies are only getting worse. Sunshine is very smart, playful and curious and loves to play with lasers. Izzy on the other hand is very timid but also playful. They are bonded together, like sisters.

Story
Minnow was born homeless and living behind a restaurant in the woods. He was very dehydrated and underweight. We believe he wouldn't have lasted much longer, if he had not been rescued when he was. Minnow is currently being fostered in a home with other cats and dogs. He is litter box trained. He absolutely loves chasing the laser light , playing with all of his toys, and watching the birds outside the window. When he gets the zoomies, he likes to run through his cat tunnel as fast as he can back and forth. Minnow is very affectionate, comical, curious, and super smart. He would make a great addition to any family.

Story
She was roaming around my neighborhood over the past few weeks. She’s very sweet but nervous/skittish on presentation. I can’t keep her because I already have a cat and my landlord only allows one cat. She gets along well with my cat, they eat next to each other and haven’t gotten into any tussles at all. (Granted, she did hiss a few times at first)

Story
Meet Josie! I adopted Josie from a coworker about a year and a half ago, and she has been a gentle, affectionate companion ever since. She loves people, enjoys being brushed, and will happily curl up beside you while you work or relax. Josie is healthy and thriving. She has been to the vet recently for her general check up and vaccines and has a clean bill of health. Unfortunately, my schedule has changed, and I am now away from home for long hours and frequent travel. Josie needs more companionship and attention than I can give, and I want her to have the calm, loving home she deserves. She would be perfect for someone who works from home, is retired, or simply wants a loyal, gentle cat to share their days with. If you are looking for a sweet, calm, and affectionate friend, Josie is waiting to meet you!
