Story
Just as the moon was full in the sky, there was a clanging sound: the trap had been triggered. Upon inspection, the trapper was shocked; instead of the intended stray dog, she had caught a pretty little kitty with chicken McNuggets. For obvious reasons, the gray-and-white bicolor cutie was named Moonie McNugget and was sent for spay and vaccinations. Although she was a bit shy, Moonie seemed to be friendly. With ample time for decompression, Moonie McNugget has come out of her shell, seeking out pets and hanging out with the resident cats in her foster home. Moonie could be the center of your universe or join a home with friendly cats--as long as you're willing to give her time to get comfortable. Then, she might even agree to lounge in your shirt pocket!

Meet Sweetie: The Cat with a Dog’s Loyalty and a Survivor’s Spirit 🐾 Looking for a furry friend who’s equal parts cuddly, playful, and brave? Let us introduce you to Sweetie — a beautiful, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining cat who’s ready to be your new best friend. 🌟 Her Story: From Surviving to Thriving Last Thanksgiving, Sweetie was abandoned outside with her kitten and her male companion. It was clear they were once beloved house pets — confused, scared, and doing their best to survive. Thankfully, Sweetie found her way to safety with a TCAR foster, and she's loving indoor life! 💖 Her Personality: Sweet, Silly, and So Much Fun Sweetie lives up to her name! She’s: Affectionate – loves pets, light cuddles, and human attention. Playful – she’ll chase toys for hours and even entertains herself when you’re busy. Well-mannered – uses her litter box and scratching post like a pro. Dog-like – she follows you around, wants to be involved in what you’re up to, and has that loyal energy that makes her feel like a “cat dog.” She’s the kind of cat who will make you laugh, keep you company, and fill your home with joy.

Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
We found Purrcy in April 2024 as an abandoned kitten from a stray litter. He can be very affectionate but mostly prefers his independence. He has had some behavior concerns such as going outside the litterbox and aggression towards our other cat. He enjoys sitting with us but does not like being pet unless he initiates. He purrs very loudly (hence the name) and loves to make biscuits before bed.

American Shorthair

Details
Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Gracie is a healthy, affectionate indoor cat who brings a sense of calm and comfort to any home. She has a very gentle, soothing presence and loves to quietly follow her person from room to room, always nearby but never demanding. She especially enjoys lying near your feet and relaxing by your side, happy just to be close and share quiet time together. Gracie is not an adventurous outdoor cat; she strongly prefers being indoors and is very well‑suited to a relaxed, low‑stress household. Adopted from a shelter in 2018, Gracie has been a deeply loving and comforting companion for many years, offering emotional warmth and steady companionship. She would be an ideal match for someone looking for a calm, affectionate friend who appreciates soft voices, gentle attention, and peaceful routines The only reason she needs a new home is that an elderly family member with severe cat allergies has recently moved in, and despite medications and air purifiers, the symptoms have not improved.

Story
Annie is from Massachusetts. My uncle found her outside the greenhouse of the soldier's home where he lived. He sheltered her in his room, feeding her from a baby bottle. Little Orphan Annie roamed the hallways, meowing at residents and riding the elevator. The men would gift my uncle with toys, treats, and food for their hall mascot. Annie wasn't affectionate with anyone but my uncle, and then only after he'd gone to bed. She'd jump up on his chest, ready for cheek rubs and back pats, purring loudly. My uncle was distraught when the new administration said pets were not allowed. He flew down from Boston with Annie in a carrier, and came to visit her every Thanksgiving. She's lived with me for 11 years. Annie likes to sleep on my bed, sit next to me on the arm of the sofa, and to be petted on her own terms by rubbing her face against my hand. She is vocal, plays with a laser, feather, or pencil; and would thrive in a quiet home where she can bond with 1-4 people.
