Story
Meet Hobbes, the snuggle chunk. This heavy boy spends a good deal of time snoozing and grooming. However, his favorite place is by the side of his person. He is a snuggly lap cat. He's very excited when you come home and will greet you at the door. He has been around both dogs and cats, but would likely prefer a home where he is the only cat. He gets jelly when others get his attention, but has done well around other male and senior cats. Hobbes also has experience around children, but a home with older children who are more experienced with respecting boundaries would be best. Hobbes likes the idea of being outside, but is strictly an indoor cat so being aware of him near doors is a must. He enjoys being in a screened porch, and will usually wait for the invitation before cautiously venturing out. This guy wouldn't make it outside full time! Hobbes would make a wonderful addition to any home willing to give him lots of love and snuggles! Apply for a meet and greet today.

Story
*No rehoming fee, Vet reference or other recommendation required* Tigger is a 2 year old blue point siamese. Regrettably we waited too long to get him fixed as we had some unplanned circumstances come up and he developed a marking issue so we’ve had to keep him outside. We are going to be relocating soon to a place that can not have outdoor only cats and sadly we do not have the time at this point to reintroduce him into the house and work with him on using a litter box again. He has been unable to spend much time on our porch with us because he is afraid of our dogs. My dog tries to dominate him but they’ve never been in a fight so he may be fine with the right cat-friendly dog. He is too sweet and affectionate to be an outdoor only cat and needs more attention. He is the type of cat that will sit in your lap all day if you let him. He is a typical Siamese and loves to talk, loves to snuggle and loves his treats. I know he would thrive with the right person and be a blessing to them.

Story
Freckles was part of a huge animal neglect case in a local county and our rescue took in 17 animals. He is a great cat and very loving but can be a bully to other cats. He enjoys being outside but we find he has snuck in all the time so we think he would love to transition to an inside baby.

Story
Darcy showed up at someone's house and they thought she was a kitten. Turns out she was an adult and possibly had already had a litter of kittens herself. Darcy is the most mild mannered and sweet cat I have ever brought into my rescue. Right away she was fine with all the other cats and is very affectionate and loving. She keeps to herself but when approached is always ready to kiss your hand
