Story
Miss Taffy is not only eye candy with pretty tricolor calico markings, she also has a super sweet personality. She is outgoing, has never known a stranger, and loves attention. She's clean, uses her litter box well, and enjoys playtime. Miss Taffy was born to an outdoor momma cat (now spayed), and would have lived the rest of her life outdoors and taking cover in a shed at nights, until I saw her and her siblings, and wanted a better life for them. Having cared for stray cats and kittens for the past 15 years, I took them into my care, with winter soon approaching. At 2.5 months young, Miss Taffy is now spayed, dewormed, flea treated, bathed, and has received her FVRCP vaccine. Her rehoming fee of $50 includes her spay and vaccination. Our county shelter is a kill shelter, so I rehoming Taffy myself. An indoor home is recommended for a longer, safer life for Taffy. Also, no declawing please, as it is inhumane. Please contact me for more pics and videos on Miss Taffy. Thank you

Story
Sprinkles was born July 22 2025 to a feral cat along with her sister and two brothers. They have all been living inside since 6 weeks old when their mom got spayed. She was spayed on October 8th. Sprinkles is a sweet loving little girl who loves to be brushed and loves to play and play and explore. She has longer hair than her siblings and will need to be indoors and brushed. She has been spayed, flea treated and dewormed. Although healthy and shows no signs of health issues I suggest a pet wellness exam with your vet after adopting. Prefer a home without children under the age of 5 years old. If she is going to be left alone daily prefer a home with another cat for companionship. Adoption fee will be donated to Clip and Tip Strays a local nonprofit helping to reduce the unwanted cat population.

Story
Bionic is the sweetest boy with such a sad story. He was found after he had been shot. Luckily he survived after medical care. He did have to have his leg amputated. That does not stop him from being the loving cat that he is. He gets around just fine with 3 legs. He is also FIV positive so he will need a home with no cats or cats that are friendly. FIV is only transmitted through deep punctures.If you are looking for a sweet and loving guy Bionic is for you.Please fill out an application from our website.
