Story
Hello! My name is Pacha! Named after the emperors new groove and as a feminine nickname for gazpacho. I love hind scratches and couch potato time. I am the best bug catcher. Unfortunately my owner has to move and my future landlord is not excited about me. Even with my harsh past that has made me so strong! I was found in a car engine trying to stay warm as a kitten during the winter with 3 of my siblings 5 years ago. I am timid and prefer a hiding spot. I used to have a housemate, but he passed away a year ago. I tolerate dogs! As long as they let me sniff them on occasion. I love scratching rope, my mom even re-roped a tree for me. My mom fostered a kitten once and it took me one month to get used to her, expect a settle in time of about that.

Story
Bryn is my “goddaughter.” Her owner is an older woman who had a major health event that rendered her unable to take care of her anymore. I promised to take her and find a good home for her if anything ever happened to my friend. I would consider keeping her, but I have multiple pets. While I have not yet introduced Bryn to my animals, she is accustomed to being an only child, and I think she would do better in a quieter home than mine. Like many Torties, Bryn is sassy and independent. She loves her head scratches, though, and will do almost anything for a treat! I think her mother overindulged her, so I am limiting those treats somewhat to get her to a healthier weight.I currently have ample food, litter, litter box, toys, bowls, and will even throw in a litter genie if you adopt her.

Story
This is Ollie, he's a neutered male, about a year old, UTD on shots! He found me in our yard in January 2026 and he was immediately very friendly so he didn't need that much socialization. He is very sweet, loves cuddles, and will follow you around all day. He does cute little biscuits constantly if you're holding him, petting him, or if he's just hanging out. He is not friendly with other cats, especially my indoor cats, which is why I am rehoming him. He seems to do okay with dogs, is a little scared. He was indoor/outdoor, until about a month ago when Ollie got hit by a car and sustained pelvic fractures. He is currently on crate rest with gabapentin. After trying for months, Ollie cannot acclimate to our house with our existing two cats, who he is aggressive with. He has been recovering and can walk normally now, but he is unable to remain in my small house where it's hard to keep him separated from my cats. I'm confident that in an indoor only cat home, he would fit right in!

I got her as a stray initially, she was extremely friendly and just came up. However, I am a college student and I don’t have the time or necessary resources to be able to take care of her just like she deserves to. She is extremely cuddly, she loves her pets and will actively come up to you for some.

CC is a ball of endless energy! He loves to run around and play. He loves toys of all kinds. He loves food. He’s also a sweet little guy. He is ok being picked up and loves being petted. He loves people and considers them to be toys too! He gets along well in a cat community (but he may have too much energy for older cats). He was found as a stray but has never been feral. He just needs a good home. He has no known medical issues. He is not currently fixed, but has an appointment scheduled for rabies shot and neuter on Oct 26. He will be fixed soon! CC is looking for his forever home.
