Story
Kayul, an incredibly sweet American Shorthair and the beloved younger sister to Kasa. It breaks my heart to rehome her due to my severely worsening cat allergies. Most importantly, Kayul and Kasa share a deep, unbreakable bond. I am strictly looking for a loving family willing to adopt them together, as they absolutely cannot be separated under any circumstances.When it comes to her personality, Kayul is an absolute joy! She is a true chatterbox who loves to have fun, vocal conversations with her humans. She is also a huge food enthusiast with a very healthy appetite, so you can always count on her being front and center when it's mealtime. Being so well-socialized, Kayul gets along wonderfully with kids, other cats, and dogs. If you have room in your heart and home for a chatty, food-loving, and affectionate girl—alongside her loyal brother Kasa—she will bring endless warmth and happiness to your family.

Story
Meet Kasa, an incredibly sweet boy who was originally a rescue. A close friend of mine took him in and raised him for four years, and I have been his loving parent for the last three years. I love him with all my heart, but my cat allergies have severely worsened to the point where I can no longer physically manage to keep him. Kasa is very affectionate, loyal, and absolutely adores his humans, though you should be prepared for some fun conversations because he is quite the chatterbox! Having lived with dogs during his first four years, he is also well-socialized around canine friends and will do absolutely fine in a home with dogs after a proper adjustment period. Most importantly, Kasa has a younger sibling named Kayul. They are deeply bonded, and I am strictly looking for a loving family willing to adopt them together, as I do not want them to be separated under any circumstances.

Story
We took in a stray, it turned out to be pregnant and she had 5 female kittens. Dora is one of the kittens. she is now 1 yr and 4 mo old born May 27 2025. Dora is a loving cat, She likes to play with toys. Dora is calm, loving, playful. We would like to find a good loving home that will take care of her. Dora has never been outside on her own. she has all her claws, she has been spayed, and vaccinated 3/23/26. With the mom and her babies we have too many cats to take care of, it is too overwhelming. just want to find a good home.Dora is kind of the loner in the litter, she's kind of scared of most everything, but not in a bad way just very cautious and shy most of the time she just watches what the other cats are doing.

Story
Meet Tucker! Tucker is a sweet, affectionate 2-year-old boy who was rescued after being found injured outdoors. He quickly showed everyone that he loves people, enjoys being petted, and has a gentle, easygoing personality. We suspect this lovely kitty has been abandoned because he is simply too sweet and trusting to be an outdoor feral cat.  Tucker is recovering well from a bite wound and is FIV-positive, but with good care he can enjoy a long, happy life.   Now Tucker is looking to win the big lottery—a loving forever home with owners who will be madly in love with him for life.  Tuxedo cats are incredibly smart, oftentimes highly vocal, and extremely affectionate to the humans in their household.  Most owners are devoted to these beautifully marked cats as they make champion housemates for life.  If you're looking for a kind, loyal companion with a big heart, Tucker is ready to meet you.

Story
I adopted shadow from an elderly couple earlier this year, but have started traveling for work since, leaving him alone regularly 4 days at a time. He needs attention, but on his terms. He is not exactly a cuddly cat, but does like scratches between his ears and above his tail. He also likes to be curled up on top of you or at your feet when you’re in bed, and to drink from the sink while you brush your teeth. He will follow you everywhere. My boys are 11 and 16 and he does very well with them but I would not put him with a younger or immature child. He is declawed in the front. Great litter box manners. Loves treats and chasing toys. He needs a parent who has time to play but also wants companionship without Cuddles. He does get feisty when he doesn’t get enough attention. That is why I’m rehoming him- he deserves someone with the time to invest. He’s generally pretty sweet just a little bit sassy and demanding. He would be great for someone with the work from home job or retired.

Story
To meet this kitten, please text 214 621 1139. This is little Theodora (Tea) who came into foster care with her sister, Camilla. She was an itty-bitty little nursling when she was found and still needed to be bottled fed. As she and her sister grew, Tea and Camilla ran rambunctiously throughout their foster home, alongside bigger feline siblings. Both girls are comfortable around dogs and they are always together in mischief and mayhem. Tea has an adorable face with huge green eyes. She has beautiful, jet black, glossy fur that ripples and reflect the light as she moves and darts around. This is one very good-looking kitten who will become a loose-limbed, athletic panther as she gets older. We hope you will come and meet her and his stunning sister, Camilla and see in person how adorable they are. This is a No Exception Rule: Due to its young age, this kitten cannot be adopted into a home that has no other young cat(s) or kitten(s) for it to socialize with. Consider adopting the kitten with a sibling if you don't already have a kitten or cat at home. Please note the following: We always do vet reference checks and we WILL NOT adopt kittens or cats into household where the residential pets are unvaccinated. This is to ensure the safety of BOTH our kitten/cat and your current pets. We also only adopt locally and will reserve the right to deny Meet and Greet as our volunteers cannot do any home visits if the distance is too great.March 10, 2026, 8:09 pm
