Story
Pete started visiting our yard a few months ago looking for food and as it got cold he started to look sad, so he became an inside cat! Now Pete is warm and fed and looking for his forever family! He has not seen a vet, but we have treated him for fleas and ticks, he has also been dewormed. We think Pete was born under our neighbors porch (where the neighborhood cats hang) in the spring of 2024. He has been patrolling the neighborhood and keeping us all safe ever since. When he is not working, he loves chin scratches and firm forehead rubs. He also loves to hang out with his baby (black kitten also available for adoption) and he will do well in a home with other cats

Story
This sweet kitten showed up on the back porch looking for food just before it started to get cold outside! She was emaciated, cold, and desperate. She weighed less than 2 pounds! Now, after 6 weeks of being an indoor cat, she is a little over 4 pounds and finally starting to adapt to life inside. She is very timid, but she loves ear scratches, and sitting on my shoulder. She loves to cuddle with her friend Pete (also available for adoption) and they spend their days napping together! She will do well with other cats in the home. She has not met any dogs, yet, but I am sure with time she would warm up. She has not seen a vet, but we have dewormed her and treated her for fleas and ticks at home. She is a beautiful kitten and we would love to keep her, but we have too many cats of our own! We are excited to find the perfect forever family for her to call home

Story
Kenny is a funny little guy. He loves getting scratches and cuddling. Unfortunately, he does not get along with other cats at all. We have tried many different methods to get him accustomed to other cats, but to no avail. He can tolerate dogs as long as the dogs mostly ignore him. He is a bit skittish, so if a dog were to start chasing him or trying to rough-house he would get scared. Overall, he needs a relatively calm environment and would do great as an onlypet. He loves to chase a laser pointer or one of those feather-on-a-string type toys. He is prone to getting annoyed from very little stimuli, so kids of certain ages (prob 6 or below) would probably not be best as he can get bitey. He doesn't lash out & you'll know when he's about to be annoyed. He also liked to play with his claws out and can unintentionally scratch you. He means well but is unsure of things and once you know his tells, he's no problem. I am sure once he has a home he is comfy in he will thrive.
