Here's what the humans have to say about me:
In the world of animal rescues, there are always cats who grab attention with their outgoing personalities or striking looks. But then there’s White Sox—quiet, reserved, and often overlooked. This sweet, shy cat has spent much of his life at the shelter, patiently waiting for the right person to see beyond his timid nature and recognize the loving companion he truly is.
While November is Senior Pet Month, White Sox isn’t technically a senior at just 6 years old. However, in terms of his time spent at the rescue, he’s certainly a senior in that regard, having waited years for the right home. It’s hard to believe that such a young cat has spent so much of his life in the shelter, but his quiet and reserved nature has led him to be overlooked time and time again.
White Sox is often described as a “gentleman” and a “peacekeeper.” He gets along with everyone in the cat room and embraces a “live and let live” philosophy. While he’s calm and friendly with other cats, he prefers to keep to himself and avoid the chaos. His ideal day includes sunbathing, a few tasty treats, and, once he’s comfortable with you, some quiet bonding time.
Though he’s not fond of being held, White Sox does enjoy being petted—provided it’s done calmly and with patience. Approach him gently, and he’ll accept your affection. He also enjoys some low-energy playtime with feather toys. He’s not one for running or jumping, but he’ll happily bat at the feathers with his paws, staying relaxed and comfortable as he plays.
White Sox has been adopted twice in the past, but both times he was returned. Each time, he retreated into hiding for weeks as he tried to adjust to the changes, needing more time and patience than his adopters were able to offer. But with the right home, we are sure White Sox would thrive. He’s looking for a quiet household, preferably without young children or dogs. Older, patient children (12 and up) who can respect his space would be just fine.
White Sox certainly deserves a home where he can finally relax and enjoy the comfort he’s been longing for. If you think you can offer him the calm, loving environment he needs, White Sox could be the perfect addition to your family. With a little time, patience, and trust, this gentle soul will reward you with a bond that’s truly worth the wait.

Additional adoption info
We require an in-person application for all dogs and cats. A home visit will be required for larger dogs, who require a fenced in yard. Our animals are only adopted out after they have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Our adoption fees are $90 for cats and $110+ for dogs. Puppies are $130. Cash, check, credit or debit card are all accepted. Sometimes the fee will be higher for a dog, if it is a purebred. We would like to keep our adoptions local; in the event the adoption does not work out, the animal must come back to us. Adopters must sign an agreement to this effect. We do consider out of state adopters, please phone us before coming. We are a private rescue. Please be patient if we take a little time to respond.
Those adopting a cat must bring a carrier to transport the cat home safely.
