Story
I adopted Mr. Chonk when he was a whomping 20-25lbs. In the year that I have had him he has come a long a way at a solid 17lbs so still a long way to go. He is a fantastic boy with an amazing cuddley demeanor I have to rehome him because he does not get along with the female cat in the home. He does, however, mostly get along with the male cats. He would thrive in a single pet home where he gets all the attention that he believes he deserves.

Story
We found Baxter alone outside by the side of the road on a rainy night. We took him in, got him his shots, and fixed him at the Vet, along with deworming and removing fleas. He is very sweet, although a little talkative, and loves everyone he meets. He is a charming boy and does know how to use a litter box, but has had an accident or two in the few months we have had him. We cannot keep him do to rules with our landlord, but he deserves a loving home as he is nothing but sweet to those around him and would make a wonderful addition to any home he is brought into.

Daisy would be best suited with a family without any other pets or small children. She loves to cuddle and for things to be calm. She is litter box-trained but has issues with pooping outside the litter box occasionally depending on her stress level. I have developed an allergy to cats and am needing to rehome her.

Hello, my name is Binx. I am around 3 years old. I am a lover of pets and cuddles. I usually play well with others but I take a little longer with other females. I can be good with dogs if introduced properly. My litter box manners are top notch and my foster says I have the most beautiful eyes so we do like to look at each .April 24, 2025, 12:24 pm

Story
Raven is a very sweet 8-week old girl with a vibrant personality. She is independent, but doesn’t like to always be alone. When she is not running the hallways, she will curl up by you to sleep - this is the best time to get your cuddles from her. She loves laying in front of the fire with her fur friends, and when she talks to you it’s long and loud (even with her tiny voice). She is the litterbox hall monitor, making sure she is there to christen the box once it is clean! If you’re ready to have this beautiful quirky girl in your life, she is ready for her fur-ever home.November 15, 2025, 10:42 pm
