Story
Georgia was born 7/26/2025. She is very playful and independent. She is also a little mischievous, likes to get into places that its difficult to get out of. She has been using the litter box but sometimes relieves herself where she wants to mark territory. She gets along with other cats and dogs. She has a sister Juno. She will be great for someone looking for a cat that does not like to be cuddle all the time but its good for companionship.

Story
I took her mom after they were put out by my neighbor, I did not know she was pregnant. I try to keep them as long as I could but right now I have too many pets. She is learning to use the litter box, her mom used to hide her, therefore she was relieving herself anywhere. She was born on July 26 , 2025. She has been very diligent using the litter box, she is very playful and its independent. She has an appointment for the first shots on 11/21/2025.

Story
Bagheera is a gorgeous black cat. Around 9 years old and still athletic, playful, friendly cat. Does very well with other cats after a short transition period. Never been around dogs before. Extremely friendly and affectionate with people once he warms up - very quick shy phase but loves attention. Loves to greet you at the door and cuddle at night on the bed. Would do well in a home with no kids or older kids only. Unfortunately is anxious around our 3-year old and would most likely do best in a home without kids 10 and under. Indoor cat ONLY - never lived or been outside. House trained with the exception of the recent anxiety, but will do very well in the right environment. We are heartbroken to rehome, he’s a true gem of a black cat 🖤❤️

Story
Hey there! Needing to rehome this sweet tortoiseshell cat named Nami! She is a senior cat but still a kitten at heart! My family adopted her from Petsmart as a kitten 13 years ago, and I have personally cared for her and our other cat for the past 5 years. However, due to financial circumstances I have had to move back in with my Dad and his dog hates cats. I have since rehomed my cats with an extended family member. Unfortunately, Nami has not adapted well to the new living situation and has been very territorial with the other cat. Ideally I would like to find her a single pet household where she can get all the attention to herself. Her favorite game is fetch with a rubber band and she loves to have her fur brushed. She is still very playful for her age but she will likely be shy for the first week or two. I think she would do well with children as long as they are gentle and would tolerate a calmer natured dog. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, thank you!

Story
We found Bobo wandering around our small, quiet apartment complex one night. He was so friendly and it was very apparent that he used to being indoors and around friendly people. We think that someone dropped him here since flyers were posted and emails were sent out without him being claimed. Age: unknown, likely young adult based on his energy and his teeth Fixed? He appears to be neutered, although this has not been confirmed by a vet. Litter box and house trained? Yes! Playful? Yes, he loves to play with wands, in tunnels, and with other cats. He also gets along with dogs and even bunnies. Color: Mostly black with a little patch of white on his front chest area as well as a little bit on his stomach. His shining qualities include his loving demeanor, his friendliness, and his nonchalance. He loves to get as much attention as you will give him and he also lets you pick him up and do basically whatever as he becomes a noodle in your arms. He is the perfect quirky, cuddly boy!

Story
Lupin is an affectionate guy who is looking for a home more in tune with his stage of life. He is active and loved his family but wasn’t a good fit for small children. He really just wants to chill and be a couch buddy at this point. If this sounds like the new friend for you, please come and meet Lupin.
