Story

Meet Kofi: Vacuum-chaser, Toy-hunter, and People-lover! With his soft gray stripes, bright white belly, and the cutest pink nose, Kofi is a curious and charming kitten who’s always in the middle of the action. He loves greeting new people at the door, watching humans type (those clicky keyboards are fascinating), and hopping into the tub to supervise shower time. This outgoing little guy is always where the action is. Kofi is a high-energy extrovert who never seems to run out of steam. He’ll chase anything that moves: balls, strings, fingers, catnip mice. He’s even rallied his foster siblings into games of tag, zooming through the house like a tiny tornado of joy. His superpower? Flying! He’s not afraid to jump from any height, especially when he hears a can of wet food open. Don’t expect peace and quiet when it’s time to clean! Sweeping turns into playtime, and vacuuming becomes a hilarious challenge as Kofi throws himself into the job. Kofi loves the vacuum: he chases it, flops in its path, and even enjoys a little vacuum “spa treatment” if you let him. Kofi loves everyone he meets, feline or human. He’d do best in a home where someone’s around often and there’s another playful kitty (kids would be a bonus). If you’re ready for a sidekick who brings nonstop joy and kitten mischief in the best way, Kofi’s your guy. WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL LOCATION AS WE ARE A FOSTER-BASED ORGANIZATION.

Story

Meet Binxi la Belle – Your Sunbeam Companion Binxi is a healthy senior who’s looking for exactly what she deserves: a cozy lap, a warm patch of sunlight, and a forever home filled with love. This sweet girl started the year with heartbreak, losing the human who had loved her since kittenhood. She then spent too long in a home that didn’t want her. But through it all, Binxi never lost her cheerful spirit. In foster care, she has blossomed — soaking up cuddles, climbing cat trees, exploring every corner, and even “helping” with the laundry. Binxi’s Wish List A home where she can be the star (she tolerates other cats but much prefers being the only pet). Three petite meals a day, plus treats — she’s a treat-motivated girl and will happily “work” for them! A warm, comfy place to nap. Regular brushing sessions (she has a thick, lion-like coat she proudly shows off — and she enjoys being groomed). Binxi la Belle is more than ready to put her sad past behind her. She’s dreaming of a home where she can explore at her own pace, curl up in sunbeams, and finally feel wanted again. Could Binxi be the one to brighten your days?

Story

Meet Link – The Lovebug House Panther with a Heart of Gold If you’re looking for a purring machine and a best friend for life, Link is your guy! This sleek and gorgeous black house panther is as affectionate as he is handsome, and just like his sister Raven, he is part of an inseparable bonded duo. These two have been together since birth, and their love for each other is undeniable. Recently, Link and Raven’s world was turned upside down when they lost the only home they had ever known. After four years of warmth, love, and stability, they found themselves surrendered and heartbroken. Now, they are looking for a family that will help them heal, shower them with love, and give them the forever home they truly deserve. Link can be a little shy at first, but once he trusts you, he completely transforms into the most loving, affectionate cat you could ask for. He craves attention, adores pets, and will snuggle up beside you for hours. The very first night in his foster home, he hid behind the piano—but by morning? He was curled up on his foster mom’s son’s bed, already soaking in the love. That’s just who he is—a sweetheart who wants to trust and be loved. Beyond being an affectionate cuddle bug, Link is also an energetic, playful guy. He and Raven love chasing ball toys, playing with feather wands, and batting around toy mice. He’s also an expert at tag—his favorite game to play with Raven! Link would do well in a home with other cats, and he has even gotten along with dogs in his foster home. He’d be fine with children as long as they understand his need for space while he adjusts. But one thing is for certain—wherever Link goes, Raven must be by his side. These two have been through so much together, and their bond is unbreakable. Are you ready to welcome this incredible duo into your heart and home? Link and Raven are waiting for their second chance—could it be with you?

Story

Meet Raven – The Lovebug with a Heart Full of Devotion Raven is a sweet, affectionate, and totally adorable cuddle machine—and she comes as part of an irresistible bonded duo! She and her brother, Link, have been together their entire lives, and their love for one another is undeniable. These two gorgeous house panthers have recently faced an incredibly tough transition, losing the only home they’ve ever known after four years. Now, they’re searching for a forever family that will help them heal and remind them what it feels like to be safe, loved, and cherished. Raven may start off a little shy, but once she warms up, she is an absolute lovebug! This girl thrives on attention—if you so much as touch her, she’ll start purring up a storm, her whole body vibrating with happiness. She adores pets, kisses, and curling up on the couch with her humans, soaking up every bit of love. Just one look into her soulful eyes, and you’ll see how much love she has to give! When she’s not busy snuggling, Raven is playful and full of personality. She and Link love chasing ball toys, batting around toy mice, and playing with ribbons. She even has a hilarious obsession with toes under blankets—or as she calls them, "bed mice!" Raven is good with children, other cats, and even small dogs, making her an easy fit for many homes. But one thing is non-negotiable—where Raven goes, Link must follow. These two are deeply bonded, and their love and support for each other is what keeps them strong. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a pair of deeply affectionate, resilient, and lovable companions, Raven and Link are waiting for you. Could you be the one to give them the forever home they so desperately need?
