Story
In 2020 my pet cat passed away suddenly, and in an attempt to make me feel better my family suggested adopting a kitten. We came across somebody selling a litter they found, about an hour away from us, and soon we adopted Baby (for all intents and purposes, legally her name is Riot because I was a 15-year-old when we got her, but we all call her Baby). She is a very lovey cat, she isn't declawed but she's very conscious of the fact that she has them, she's a gentle girl and she drools sometimes when you pet her. The problem is that we hadn't realized she had pre-existing trauma with dogs when we adopted her, considering we have four. The end of her tail is lightning-shaped, because before she came home with us she got attacked by a dog. This makes her very skittish around them, sometimes choosing not to eat or come out from under beds - which also leads to her not using the litter box. I cannot stress enough that she can't live with dogs! She would thrive in a house with few pets.

Barry is an elegant boy, very sleek. Enjoys affection, but on his terms. He and his sister Lucy (also pictured and also up for adoption) brought a lot of comfort and companionship to my mom who has since passed away.

Story
Hi everyone! I am needing to re-home my cat Momo. I was hoping I could keep him long term but that’s no longer the case. I don’t know a lot about him. I suspect he is 3-5 years old. I thought he was fixed but I don’t see the usual tattoo that vets do. A friend found him and she couldn’t keep him so I volunteered to take him. He is very very shy/skittish and takes awhile to warm up to people and new environments. I would like an experienced adopter take him. Once he opens up though, he is so playful, almost as if he is still a kitten. I love catching him in various silly sleep positions. He loves all toys, lasers, and of course wet food for a treat. Please reach out with any questions, his rehoming fee ensures he goes to a good home. Thank you!

Story
Hi everyone! I am needing to re-home my gorgeous Stella. She is 2 years old. I feel she would ideally be more comfortable in a one dog household or a household where she is the only cat. She’s constantly picking fights with the other animals in the house; whether it be because they try to play with her, walk too closely to her, or they get in her space. She is such a sweet and loving girl otherwise. She’s always down to lay in your lap while you binge tv, or even in the bathroom, demanding pets with her paw but returns the love with nose kisses and love bites. She loves wet treats and string toys. She is fixed, but not up to date on shots. Please reach out with any questions you may have. Her rehoming fee is to ensure she goes to a good home.

Story
Great health, no medical issues, received a dental cleaning on May 8th, 2025. AFFECTIONATE, CURIOUS, QUIRKY, and PLAYFUL. She absolutely loves to sit on your chest and get cuddles, while nuzzling her face into yours. She ESPECIALLY loves soft blankets. She is a bit sensitive to touch, and prefers to be mostly pet on her head, face, neck, and upper back. She doesn't like touch on her tail. She can be cautious of strangers or loud noises. She can become irritated or over-simulated sometimes. If she does, you just have to keep her calm and patiently encourage her to move away and take some personal space. If she stays irritated and you continue pet or grab her, she might give a warning bite or claw. She is almost always gentle with her warnings and rarely actually hurts or creates an injury/breaks the skin. This is why I prefer she go to someone without small children (10 years and up). She prefers to not be around other cats. She will run away and hide, but doesn't try to fight.
