Story
Check out Chester’s brother Cheeto!! Chester was found in July 2024 with his two siblings and mom living in a dirty alleyway. Taken inside, Chester has grown and thrived into a unique, funny and loving cat. Chester loves humans, and prioritizes pets above anything else. Chester is a good sibling and is seen kissing and cuddling his siblings. Chester would be best fitted for a home that can devote lots of attention to him and won’t leave him alone for long periods of time. Chester is a good boy who gets his nails trimmed and his fur brushed regularly.

Story
Check out Cheetos brother Chester! Cheeto, his siblings and mom were found outside a dirty alleyway in July 2024. Taken inside, Cheeto has grown into the most handsome and loving cat. Cheeto is the introvert that every extrovert (Chesters brother) needs in their life. Cheeto spends his time rubbing against legs for attention, cuddling his siblings and being a perfect angel. Cheeto loves grooming and his soft fur reflects that. Though an introvert, Cheeto loves to play, and has enough energy to go around. But once the energy is spent, Cheeto is looking for a lap to sleep upon. Bring home Cheeto and Chester and have everything you’ve wanted from a cat.

Story
I found zayda at my school with her 3 siblings when she was just 3 week old, And I took her in. Now she is 5 months and letting her go is so hard. She’s a silly cat, but so cute too. Recently my brother has been sick nonstop, and when my mom took him to the doctor she found out that he’s allergic to cats and that’s the reason he’s been sick. As much as it hurts I know I have to let her go and I hope she goes to a good family! She loves to travel and to be outside but to whoever keeps her I ask to let her sleep in doors! She’s never been outside without supervision ( although she loves running outside whenever we have the door open) she loves stealing food and attacking your feet then running to hide. I hope whoever wants her has experience and will love and treat her very good.

Story
Boo is a sweet, affectionate 2-year-old cat who loves to cuddle and be close to people. He has been a loving companion, always purring and seeking attention. Unfortunately, he had developed gingivitis prior to me adopting him that the shelter did not inform me of. The gingivitis found in Boo’s mouth requires treatment I can’t afford because I just started nursing school recently. As much as I love him, I know I can’t provide the care he needs. I’m hoping to find a rescue or a loving home that can give him the medical attention and stability he deserves. If you can help, I would be truly grateful. Boo is very affectionate, absolutely loves cuddles, and loves wearing clothing items(like sweaters & hats). Boo also loves selfies as you can see in the last picture, the second he sees a phone in your hand he will rush over to you. Boo would be a great cat for a naturally affectionate family. The only shots Boo is missing is 2 boosters.
