Story
Hi I’m Garfield. I was captured from my cat colony with my brother and sister, both have been adopted. I’m a sweet boy, but a little timid. Please be patient with me as I come out of my shell. I may be a little shy during the day but I promise I will love bomb you at night and smother you with kisses while you are sleeping. I umay nibble on your hair too. My love language is foooood, I love wet canned food and wet treats. This is the way to my big beautiful heart. I’m about 6 months old, have been neutered and given a rabies shot, humans can be so cruel. I’m looking for my calm and peaceful forever home full of love, safety, and lots of food! Will you give me a chance? I’ve had a rough start in the element surrounded by predators, but I think I will end up somewhere very special where I will be very happy. I have never been around dogs…but would probably be terrified of them. I am house trained! :D

Story
I’m Garfield. I was kidnapped from my cat colony with my brother and sister. I’m the last one still looking for my forever home. The way to my heart is with fooooood, I love wet food and soft treats…..just an FYI. I’m a little timid during the day, please be patient with me. I promise I will love bomb you with kisses and cuddles while you’re sleeping and make sure you are safe. I may even nibble your hair. I have been neutered and given a rabies shot, humans can be so cruel. I haven’t met any dogs yet, but would probably be terrified of them. I’ve been in a home with cats and do well. I am a very sweet boy, and given an opportunity and a calm home I can truly come out of my shell and be a very happy and loving kitty. I want an indoor home full of love and food, I’ve struggled enough in the element. I am completely litter box trained. Are you my forever best friend and care taker? The correct email to contact my caretaker is xxxx@xxxx.x

Story
Zaika (little bunny) or “Z” is a little miracle wrapped in orange fluff. He was found outside in the cold, barely hanging on, suffering from a severe upper respiratory infection and fighting just to breathe. But this brave boy didn’t give up—and now, thanks to love and care, he’s made a full comeback and is ready for the life he almost didn’t get. 💔➡️❤️ Zaika was born without a tail, which gives him the most adorable bunny-like behind—one look and you’re guaranteed to smile. He’s playful, sweet, and incredibly loving, with the kind of gentle spirit that makes you want to protect him forever. He loves to play, snuggle, and simply be close to his people. He is neutered, up to date on all shots, and healthy—he just needs what every rescued heart needs most: a loving home and someone to choose him. Zaika has already fought so hard for his life. Now he’s ready to spend it safe, warm, and deeply loved. 🧡🐾

Story
Elsa is a true tortie, and that means magic in its purest form ✨—a bold little soul wrapped in beautiful, funky colors. She’s confident, curious, and full of life, always the first to explore, investigate, and leap headfirst into whatever adventure comes next. But beneath that spark is a heart that longs for belonging. Elsa loves deeply—curling into your lap, soaking up affection, and filling a home with warmth and joy. As the holidays approach, she’s ready for her biggest wish: a home of her own, a person to love, and a place where she can finally settle in for good. This holiday season, while homes glow with lights and love, Elsa is waiting for someone to choose her. Take her home for the holidays—and give this brave, beautiful girl the forever family she’s been hoping for. 🎄🐾💔✨ preferably Elsa will go to the same home as her brother Dexter.
