Story
Meet Tulip – A Quiet Beauty Ready to Bloom 🌷 Tulip is a stunning, independent girl who is learning the comforts of indoor life one day at a time. Though people can still be a little scary, she’s beginning to enjoy gentle affection and will even seek out a scratch or two when she’s feeling safe. She has a calm, observant nature and prefers to take her time getting to know new surroundings. Tulip coexists peacefully with dogs and isn’t afraid to set polite boundaries when needed. She would thrive in a patient, low-key home where she can adjust at her own pace and continue to grow in confidence. Tulip is being fostered in Madison, AL and will be spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to adoption. If you're looking for a quiet, low-maintenance companion and have a heart for giving a shy cat the time she needs to trust, Tulip may be your perfect match. 💻 Apply to adopt on our website 📧 Questions?

Story
Well, hello there, dearies! My name is Gracie Mae, and I’m just a sweet ol' lady looking for a cozy spot to spend my golden years. 🌼 You see, I’ve lived a long rocky life, and now all I want is a soft bed, some sunshine to nap in, and a kind soul to share my days with. I LOVE to be brushed and am an expert snuggler. I may be getting up there in age, but don’t let that fool you—I’m still in perfect health! I've been spayed, I’m up to date on all my vaccinations, and I’ve even got a little microchip in me to keep me safe. I promise I don’t ask for much, just a quiet, warm place where I can relax and enjoy my retirement. If you think you could be the one to give me a loving home, I’d be ever so grateful. Let’s spend our days together, shall we? With love and purrs, Gracie Mae 🐾

Story
We took these precious kitties in for a friend who found them abandoned in a building. They are siblings, a male and a female, named Otis and Emmy, and they have been spayed and neutered. We have had them for a little over a year. We have to move, due to unforeseen circumstances, and we desperately need to find them a loving home. They are free and come with a six-level cat tree, two covered litter boxes, two cat carriers, two tunnels, an automatic feeder that syncs with your phone, and several other supplies. They have never been separated, so we would prefer they stay together, if at all possible. They are very gentle and loving.

Story
Meet Jinx 🖤 Jinx is a handsome black cat with a gentle spirit, a soft purr, and a story that proves how resilient — and loving — animals can be. When he arrived in our care, he had a serious wound around his neck, likely the result of surviving outdoors without protection. With time, medical care, and kindness, Jinx has healed beautifully — and now he’s ready to leave the past behind and finally live the life he deserves. Despite everything he’s been through, Jinx is incredibly affectionate. He loves attention, leans into pets, and has a way of making you feel chosen the moment he settles beside you. He isn’t demanding — he’s grateful. A warm bed, soft hands, and a safe home are all he’s ever wanted. Jinx is FIV-positive, which may sound daunting — but it’s truly not. FIV isn’t a disease that affects daily life the way people often assume. Many FIV-positive cats live long, normal, healthy lives with no special treatment required. It’s not transmitted through sharing food bowls, using the same litter box, mutual grooming, or simple play — only through bite wounds, something neutered, well-socialized cats like Jinx are not inclined to do. What makes Jinx special isn’t a medical status — it’s his heart. He’s survived difficulty with grace, he trusts despite everything, and he’s ready to bond deeply with someone who will love him back. Jinx isn’t just looking for a home — he’s looking for his person. If you’re searching for a companion who will give love freely, appreciate every moment of comfort, and fill your home with warmth and quiet joy, Jinx may be the perfect match. Come meet this incredible boy and let him charm his way into your life. 🖤✨ Apply online or stop by the Humane Society Tuesday–Saturday, 10 AM–5 PM to meet him.
