Luci is a wonderful little cuddle-bug. He is good about using the litter box and loves to play. He is adorably compliant as our toddler plays with him and tries to color in his nails. Luci would do well in a house with playful cats, dogs, or kids.

Story
Two kitties are needed to be adopted. Both neutered, microchipped and recent bloodwork showed a clean bill of health!! They were my mom's cat who recently passed away and I am unable to take them. Both are male, neutered, healthy and INDOOR only. They have never been outside in their lives. They come with everything you could possibly need to care for them.Hank (white) is a cuddly boy. He is a foodie and has been known to steal chicken right off your plate. He lives for long days in the cat tree lounging, followed by treats and lap cuddles. Whereever you are, Hank will be near by. Chester (siamese) is the alpha male. He loves to hunt (even if it's jsut pretending at the window), an avid nature watcher and rough houser with his brother Hank. He loves to be near you at all times and will sometimes call out for you if he doesn't know where you are. He is the watcher and will see everyone who comes in but can be a little shy when meeting new people.

Iris is an adorable, cuddly kitty. She is good with other animals and kids. We are rehoming because my cat allergies worsened during and after pregnancy, and it is no longer the best choice for my health to have her in our home. We will be sad to see her go though! I’m only willing to let her go to a good home!

Story
Hey all, I have a kitten looking for a home. She was a feral in our backyard all summer. We got her and her siblings to like us (because we fed them of course 😉). We are able to adopt one of her brothers but cannot fit her in our tiny home unfortunately. She is very sweet. She’s spunky, playful, and delightfully chatty. Young Williams would not take her due to her being over 4 lbs now. Young Williams was out of traps all summer so we had to wait to catch them. She has been in our home for a few days and has done well. She is nervous in new situations, so she’ll just need to some extra time to get settled in her new home. She is currently being fixed. She will be treated for fleas, and will come with some cans of wet food and any toys she seems to like. We just want her to find a good family 😞 Full disclosure: my wife and I are still unsure of her sex. She is at young Williams now being fixed and we will know for certain after that.

Story
Magnolia “Nolie” is a sweet cat who becomes comfortable with her surroundings and new people very quickly. She came into my life accidentally, as her feral family lived under the house next door. She never acted feral around me and quickly adopted me as her person. If I hadn’t already had an inside cat, I would have brought her in right away. When she went into heat the first time, and was getting the attention of every Tom cat around, I took her in to be fixed, and she received all of her shots. That was last fall. She has continued to be an outside cat until a few weeks ago, when she evidently got into a fight and ended up with an abscess on her tail. She has been inside since, and my other cat has become despondent, though I have not seen fighting or bullying. Nolie has so much love to give, but my only cat has to come first! Hoping I can find someone that likes a snuggly kitty. ❤️

Story
Meet Miney! You know the rhyme... Eenie, Meeny, Miney, Moe! Well, surprise! We're all real, we're all adorable, and we're all looking for forever homes! I'm Miney, a gorgeous little black kitten with a playful streak, a curious mind, and a talent for turning absolutely anything into a toy. Crinkle ball? Amazing. Feather wand? The best. Your shoelaces? Fair game. I'm part of a fabulous all-black family. My brothers are Eenie & Moe, my sister is Meeny, and our beautiful Mama is Indigo, who has taught us everything we need to know about being confident, affectionate, and irresistible. People say black cats are mysterious. They're right... it's a mystery how anyone could resist us! We're full of love, packed with personality, and experts at purring our way into your heart. I'd love a home of my own, but I'd be just as happy being adopted with one of my siblings or even my sweet Mama. Two kittens mean built-in best friends, endless entertainment, and double the cuddles. So if you're playing 'Eenie, Meeny, Miney, Moe,' here's a little tip: you can't lose. But if you're looking for a kitten who's equal parts playful, loving, and ready to make every day brighter, pick Miney! ‍⬛October 13, 2026, 12:52 am

Story
This strikingly, handsome black boy is named Radio, and he will steal your heart! He has a very long tail and long legs and his fur is very short, so he should have minimal shedding. He has the best purr motor and loves to be pet! He happily comes to greet you and truly loves for you to play with him using a toy wand for him to bat! He can also entertain himself on a cat tree while dreaming of the animals that he sees outside. This sweet boy has great litter box manners, and is ready for his forever home.October 13, 2026, 12:52 am
