Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Spot: The Moo-diest Beauty in the Building Spot is a one-of-a-kind lady with markings so unique, cows are jealous—and we’re pretty sure she’s halfway to becoming a fashion icon in the world of barnyard chic. But don’t let the bold pattern fool you—this sweet girl is as shy as they come. Spot is a quiet observer, not much for socializing (unless you’re a laser pointer or a treat dispenser), and prefers calm, low-energy environments where she can take her time to feel safe. She’s not the cuddly, in-your-face type—more of a mysterious, quiet roommate who gradually warms up to you… if you’re patient and respectful of her space. She’s perfect for a cat-savvy human who understands that love sometimes comes in the form of slow blinks from across the room and cautious trust built over time. Spot may not be the life of the party, but if you’re looking for a low-key companion with a whole lot of character (and some serious cow-style charm), she might just be your match. Adopt Spot today and be the lucky one to say, “That fashionable little cow-cat? Yeah, she lives with me.”Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 2, 2025, 1:08 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Silky may seem a little reserved at first, but don’t be fooled—it’s not you she’s avoiding, it’s the other cats. Why share the spotlight when she can be the main event? Although, she tolerates other cats, as long as they know that she’s the main event at the end of the day. This sleek, gorgeous, and utterly devoted black cat is all about human companionship. She doesn’t want to compete for attention—she wants it all (and honestly, she deserves it). If you’re looking for a cat who will follow you from room to room, demand pets, request treats with dramatic flair, and snuggle up the moment you sit down, Silky is your girl. She’s not interested in cat politics—just you, your love, and maybe a cozy blanket for maximum cuddle efficiency. Ready to give her the one-on-one adoration she craves? Come meet Silky today!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 2, 2025, 1:08 pm

Story
Shamroxy (Shamrock+ Roxy) was recently adopted from a shelter, but due to extreme job requirements after the government shutdown and their lovely high energy nature, I can not realistically give the cat the care they need for the next year. She is about 5-6lbs and about 1 year and 3 months old. She is extremely affectionate and brave, she got settled into her current home immediately, and loves to speak. She loves to follow anyone most of the day wherever they go, and loves chasing feathered toys. She is fine being picked up for short periods of time, and is okay with her belly being rubbed a bit when she is not being playful. I am working with her to be fine with her paws being handled. To whoever adopts Roxy, I have everything the cat needs to be cared for that I will donate to the home that takes her in.

Story
Patches is a sweet old man to humans, but unfortunately he bullies the other cats aggressively. he’s was a total cuddler when we first got him but as he started to get to know the other cats things didn’t pan out. he loves to watch cartoons with us and sit on the edge of the bed. he’s never wanted to eat human foods but he is a baked goods connoisseur. he will try to steal them from you. you have been warned.
