Meet Goldie: A Quiet Soul Looking for Love Due to a sudden family allergy, we are looking for a peaceful new home for our sweet, independent girl. The Basics *Personality: Shy at first, but incredibly sweet once she knows you. *Vibe: Low-maintenance and independent. She's happy to do her own thing but loves a good head scratch. *Social: Great with other cats. She isn't a huge fan of dogs but can coexist with a calm one. *Kids: Best with older or calm children who can respect her space. Loves: Treats, quiet naps, and gentle pets on her own terms. Dislikes: Being picked up or carried. She prefers to keep four paws on the floor! Ideal home for Goldie would be a mellow environment where she can settle in at her own pace. She's the perfect companion for someone who wants a "co-worker" to lounge nearby while they work or relax.

Her personality *The Ultimate Snuggler: She is incredibly clingy (in the best way possible!) If you're sitting down, she's in your lap. If you're sleeping, she's purring right next to you. *Playful and Fun: She has a youthful spirit and loves to play with wands and toys and feathers. *Easy-Going and Social: New people? No problem. She greets guests at the door and makes everyone feel welcome. Compatibility *Kids: Excellent!

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?

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.
