Story
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?

Story
Midnight was born on June 26th 2025. She is quiet and aloof, the perfect “low-maintenance” cat. She is shy at first but has grown more affectionate over time, but she shows her love in quiet ways. She will suddenly appear next to you in bed, quiet as a mouse, and relax with you. She is a kitten though, so she still has plenty of energy to run and play!

Story
Smokey is a beautiful young adult cat in need of a new home! She is an extremely loving girl and would love to cuddle up to you in bed on a cold winter night! She has had kittens but has since been spayed, is litter box trained, and has no behavioral problems. She is timid around loud noises and would most likely do best in an adult only home (or a home with older children) and would be a good single cat or would do well with one other cat. Smokey does not become aggressive around children but becomes visibly stressed when there is too much noise and action in the home. Smokey prefers to relax and snuggle with her favorite people rather than be in an action packed environment.

Gemera is a fun and spunky girl! She has all the energy in the world and loves to run and play! Gemera would do wonderfully in a home that already has a playmate for her, or a dedicated pet parent willing to provide proper stimulation to support her. Gemera loves children and would make a great family cat. She is a polydactyl, so she has extra toes, giving her super cute mittens on her feet!

Meet Butterscotch Male • DOB: 9/22/25 Butterscotch is a sweet, gentle boy who’s just as warm and comforting as his name.

Story
Hope LOVES to snuggle on your lap. So well tempered that she will let you pet her belly! Has never bitten nor scratched. Great for anxiety/stress relief. The sweetest girl ever with no bad bone. She enjoys playing but loves relaxing evenings cuddling. If you look at her photos, you will notice she has two different colored eyes! BONUS: angels & sponsors completely all my personal care, boarding when traveling & medical costs! Found as a kitten with a condition called atresia ani. She got corrective surgery & was adopted into a home where she lived for five years with 5 other pets until her owner had to go into memory care. She ended up back at the shelter & was scheduled for euthanasia but saved just in time! Prefers being the only pet right now. She is considered “special needs” due to her past surgery and weight gain, but she is living a NORMAL HEALTHY life minus occasional accidents (could be UTI related)
