Story
Pico will be a great addition to your family! Pico was given to us by a coworker as 2 months old kitten. His birthdate is in 4/27/24. It takes him time to get comfortable around new people, once he does, he is a sweetheart. My best advice is, if he is hiding, let him be, dont drag him out of his hiding spot, let him come to you, and when he does come to you, shower him with love. You will need to be patient with him, it takes a while for him to actually feel at ease. I’ll also be giving him with all his toys, his tower, bed, tunnels, litter box, litter, and whatever he has left on his kibble by the time of the adoption. He loves to cuddle, so he’ll make a great companion when you’re watching your fave shows. His favorite toys are the ones that hang, where he needs to jump, and catch his prey. I recently found out I’m pregnant and due to financial hardships, we can’t keep Pico

Story
Hi, I'm Thomas. I'm a brown tabby who was born to a community cat momma. My person rescued me and my litter mates and has gotten us all our shots and neutered and ready for new homes but not very many people are looking for cats right now. I am 10 months old and getting big. I am just a little shy with new people but warm up quickly. I love to be petted and purr easily. I really like being around people and love to play with people or other cats too. My person already has 5 old cats with multiple health issues so she'd like to find new homes for me and my sister. I would really love a new home with someone who can pay more attention to just me. I like being the center of attention. I haven't been around dogs but I do like other cats and i love to be petted. Please take me home with you. And maybe my sister too?

Story
Hi I am Jane. I was born in the backyard to a community cat mom. My person brought me and my litter mates inside to socialize us and find us new homes but I am VERY shy. I warm up to new people after they play with me because I LOVE to play. All of my siblings except 1 brother have been adopted now and I would like a new home too. There are 5 senior cats in our household right now and my person works long hours so I do not get as much attention as i would like. I have not been around dogs yet but I am very curious about everything around me and I like to climb, explore and be up high. I would love to go to a new home with new people to play with me and maybe be home with me more. I purr easily when petted and will come ask you for some love but then I want to play again. As mentioned, I am VERY shy. If you bring me home, please be patient with me getting to know you.

Story
Leroy is a very sweet and loving cat with a lot of desire to play and be loved. Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, clean bill of health. I had to move in with someone who does not want a cat in their home and other adoption agencies have refused to help me find foster care. He would do well with another cat or two for companionship. He gets along with dogs if they are friendly and calm. I don't know how he does with children. He prefers women over men as he had shown fear of men in the past, but I can help you acclimate him to your home with certified training techniques (I am a professional behavior expert). He comes with a lot of toys and accessories for indoors and safe outdoor play. Open adoption required with regular updates until he settles (photos, checkins, etc.) I am willing to help you care for him if he becomes ill within the first 3 months. This is an attempt to not have him put to sleep or thrown in the streets when I leave the area.

Story
Clover is a very sweet and loving cat. He is amazing with children of all ages. He's an alpha and does not get along with our other 2 cats. He's not fully def but definitely hard of hearing so he must stay indoors. He likes to walk around the house with you and sit next to you. He's a beautiful, sweet, loving cat to his humans ❤️
