Story
Max is about 9 years old and his brother Sam is about 7 years old. They are brothers from different litters. Max is pretty outgoing and Sam is a little more shy. He’ll run and hide when someone knocks on the door. Then he’ll come out to visit after a little while. They both love rubbing up against you. Max is the lap cat that loves being talked to and loved on. Sam is the total opposite, he loves to be petted but doesn’t really like to sit on your lap. They are both ready to eat when you wake up in the morning. They sit by the door where there food is until I feed them. Now Max had surgery on his right ear from a hematoma a few years ago but he is fine now. He needs his ears cleaned out about every 2 weeks to keep them clean. I do the same to Sam while I’m at it. I also trim the tips of their nails to keep them trimmed. Other than that they love to run and play together and chase each other around. They have always been together so I’d like them to go together when adopted.

Story
Dorothy showed up under our car in our driveway as a lone kitten in October 2021. (Estimated Birthday is July 2021) We as a family are not historically “cat people”, but we decided to give her a home for awhile anyway. Turns out it was a long while. But nonetheless, we feel like it’s time to find her a new home. She is sweet, loving, and playful. She gets along very well with our 3 big dogs and two children. Never any issues with any of them. We don’t know how she is with other cats. She loves to cuddle in the morning, nighttime, and sometimes in between. She’s a healthy girl with no veterinary issues. Vaccines always up to date. She weighs about 10 lb and is on a 2 times per day feeding schedule for us. (This is what our dogs do and it ended up working best for her too) One of my favorite things about Dorothy is that she will play fetch with a little nerf ball or nerf bullet up and down the hallways and stairs! She plays fetch better than the dogs sometimes! 😍

Story
Meet Scrappy – a beautiful all-black domestic shorthair with a heart as soft as her fur! She’s a timid and shy girl at first, but once she warms up to you, she’s the sweetest cuddle buddy you could ask for. Scrappy thrives in a calm, quiet home where she can be the center of attention. Because she’s so shy, she’ll need to be the only pet in the household so she can feel safe and secure. Her ideal home would be one with a patient, loving owner who understands that she may take a little time to come out of her shell. Once she gets to know you, Scrappy is incredibly affectionate and loves to snuggle up next to you during quiet evenings. She would be the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal and gentle friend. If you’re ready to give this sweet, timid girl a loving forever home, please reach out. Scrappy is ready to meet her new best friend!

Meet Salvatore, the dapper black-and-white kitty who's traded his outdoor escapades for the cozy comforts of indoor living. Once a street-savvy cat with a stylish ear tip, he now enjoys lounging around in style. Salvatore loves to climb his favorite cat trees and indulge in delectable treats. He's a total cuddlebug, welcoming pets from head to tail, with no part of him off-limits for affection. This easygoing gentleman appreciates a calm, serene environment and enjoys the company of respectful dogs and cats who share his chill vibe. Whether he's soaking up a sunny spot or keeping an eye on his humans, Salvatore embodies the perfect blend of elegance and comfort. He's ready for his next cozy adventure-just add some pampering!

Story
This guy is a big lover. He would spend all of his time on your lap making biscuits. He was actually a baker in his former life. Gets along great with everyone. He lives with 4 small dogs and 3 other cats. I am sure he would do fine with bigger dogs. He just wants to be loved. Should be fine with kids, just not toddlers.
