Meet Little Man! He`s a beautiful, weird, and funny kitty boy. He is very independent and loves other cats and dogs. Little Man needs lots of active play time with someone who understands cat behavior. He would do best in a home without small kids because he can play rough at times. He loves to perch up high and snuggle in his bed when its rest time. LM keeps his beautiful coat spotless and loves treats. Please apply to meet him today!

Story
Zebedee (we call him Zee) is a gentleman who has seen some hard times and is ready for some pampering in a real home. He is believed to have lived years on the streets and has some missing teeth and scars that show it. He doesn`t want to go back out there, though. He no longer thrives in the community and much prefers a kitty hide-away inside and a human to give him loads of calm attention and snuggles. It will take him some time to adjust to new people and he gets very nervous with groups of people, but with a little quiet patience he shows that he is truly a lover at heart. He most wants to spend his time snuggling at your side. He currently lives with other cats and dogs in foster care. Apply online to meet this sweet gentleman!

Story
I’ve had Cooper since he was a kitten in 2013. He’s my boy. I love him. But he can be a grumpy old man. He snuggles me all the time and loves to play, he still has the energy and athleticism that he did 10 years ago. However, he can’t be around young children. It stresses him out and he attacks my toddler, completely unprovoked, despite the fact that my kiddo is nothing but sweet and gentle with him. We tried vet visits, extra attention, extra space, etc. and nothing has worked. He gets along fine with dogs, but he does pick on our other cat sometimes. They do snuggle and typically get along though. Ideally, I really think he’d do great in a calm household with no young children where he can relax for his remaining years. I’m very upset that it’s come to this, but I have to put my kiddos safety first. I’m willing to travel to ensure he ends up in a great home. Please feel free to reach out if you or someone you know could provide a loving home for Cooper. Thank you.

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

Meet Ever, a beautiful, mostly black, retired momma kitty, about 1.5 years old. She would make a wonderful addition to most families! She is a very gentle kitty and gets along well with other cats. Now that her kittens are adopted, her playful side is coming out and she enjoys playing chase with other cats and batting at toy wands! She also enjoys being pet and being told she is a good girl and very beautiful! She has excellent litter box manners.November 6, 2024, 8:16 am
