Story
This is Raven. She is a sweet girl. She is a very smart girl. She loves to lounge and sleep on your lap or by your side. She is great around dogs. She prefers to be the only fur cat but may get along with a younger kitten who will respect her. She prefers a calm home with adults. Older children are ok. She is an occasional nipper/love Nips!

Story
Daisy is a very affectionate cat, she loves being picked up and held. She loves pets and will flop over to show you her belly for rubs. She’s not very active. She would do best in a home where someone will always/most of the time be home and doesn’t have a busy schedule/predictable routine. Daisy is 2 years old and I adopted her from the local animal shelter.

Story
Aaron is a rambunctious and sweet young boy. We have a stray cat in our neighborhood who we feed, she ended up pregnant and having her litter in our garage. Aaron was part of that litter. We found homes for all of thr babies but Aaron had to come back to us because of a personal issue of the adopters. He is neutered, chipped and had his first round of shots. His birthday is March 14th 2023 so he is just over one year old. Aaron is such a sweet Boy, he loves snuggling, being pet and played with and is extremely tolerant of little kids. I have a 1 y/o that pokes and prods him and he never bites or scratches. He gets pretty intense zoomies and can be a little wild, but never destructive (except maybe to some paper left lying around). He would love to have a playmate in the home with him but would be just find in a single cat home. Aaron wasn't meant to be a permanent cat in our home and now that I'm pregnant, it's time we found him a furrever home <3

Story
Boogerbutt here is the result of a stray kitten I had found that was unknowingly pregnant. While the mother has managed to find a home, boo here along with his sister. Have not been so fortunate. They have been with me since July last year and have had many people unable to follow through with coming to retrieve them when interested. It is my hope that boo and by extension his sister. Can just find a place where they can be loved. I work often and cannot give them the attention and love they deserve. Plus I cannot keep them as my roomie is allergic. Boo, here is very timid, mostly to loud noises, but has been very playful and very affectionate once they have become comfortable with other people. An absolute cuddle bug he loves to play with any type of cat wand and bottle cap.

Story
Moonpie is a 6-month-old female kitten who was found cold and abandoned in the backyard at 2 months old. The vet told us she was malnourished, and she was lucky to have been brought in. She hardly had any fur and was very thin and underweight. After several weeks of lots of love and support, she has become a normal, healthy kitty. She is extremely sweet and loving, independent, and has been great with my other two cats. She likes to cuddle when you’re ready to go to bed and enjoys playing and running around during the day. She is easy to pick up, plays fetch with sparkly balls, easy to give kisses to, and easy to take to the vet. We hope to find Moonpie a forever home with someone who knows they are lucky to have her in their lives and will give her all the love she has always needed. Please note: Animals are not presents; they are family.
