Story

I rescued my cats back home in Alaska from a rescue group. I don’t believe they’re a functioning company anymore so I am here desperate for them to go to another loving home. They’re litter mates and declawed on their front paws(was not my decision to do so). They’re very chill cats and love to cuddle. Since they’ve lived together all their lives I hope to keep them together. They’re skittish with kids but won’t attack or try to hit they just run and hide but do allow kids in their space. They just don’t go seeking kids’ attention.

Story

You can hear my meows from far away and with my innocent and adorable looks, I always manage to squeeze some loving even when staff is cleaning. I am not always that innocent though, you just have to keep life interesting, and somehow stand out from the crowd here. So if you have a bed by a large window where I can keep a watchful eye on everything that is happening outside while you are at work, this would be perfect for me.

Story

Daisy (about 9 years old as of March, 2025) is a female black and white shorthaired cat. Daisy was born to a feral mother cat who had literally been dumping her kittens at one of our caretakers' house for years. They finally caught her but she was about to give birth, so these lucky kittens have been inside their whole lives. Daisy is a very vocal kitty who likes to meow about things as she goes through her day and will sometimes call out to figure out where people are if she wanders off alone expecting someone to call back to her or come find her. That sounds awfully needy but she is actually the most independent kitty from her litter. She is sweet and affectionate but doesn't want to cuddle until she is done playing and doesn't feel the need to be on top of someone smothering them every time she gets a few pets. That said, when she is in full cuddle mode she loves serious, firm pets so strong they pull the skin around her eyes back and exaggerate her already naturally silly long skinny face. She is very energetic and alert which can make her seem jumpy or skittish, but it's really just her goofy, playful nature showing. She does well with older kids and mostly gets along okay with most of the other cats in her foster home, but has had conflicts with a few of them and mostly keeps to herself so she might prefer living with only the one cat she always gets along with- her sister Primrose. We're hoping we can find a family willing to take them both, as the last time we tried to separate them they both were miserable. She hasn't ever lived with a dog and with her more sensitive nature and at her age she would probably be overwhelmed

Story

I've always been a bit of a lone wolf...or should I say, lone cat? I appreciate my own space, a quiet corner to curl up in. Don't get me wrong, I'm not antisocial. I love the company of my fellow felines, but I also value my solitude. My independence might make me seem aloof, but once I warm up to you, you'll find a loyal friend in me. I'm not the type to demand constant attention, but I'll always be there, a steady presence. Why should you adopt me? Well, I'm the perfect companion for someone who values their own space as much as I do. Someone who appreciates the quiet moments as much as the loud ones. With me, you'll have a friend who respects your boundaries, but is always there when you need them. That's the kind of friend I am, and the kind of friend I hope to find in you.

Story

Solo is a gentle soul with a silly streak! She is a gorgeous, glossy, short haired black kitty, born in April 2022. She is a playful, spunky, petite girl that likes to know what’s going on in the house, but she doesn’t need to cuddle and talk about her feelings. She’ll supervise your activities, especially at mealtime, but thinks cuddling with humans is overrated. She’s more likely to be caught snuggling other kitties and gossiping about how needy some humans can be. She loves to play with wand toys and toys she can chase. Her favorite toy is a sparkle ball she can carry in her mouth. She loves playtime with people and other cats and her favorite activity is galloping around her foster home with other cats. She loves to climb high up in a cat tree and explore the world from the cat shelves on the wall. Solo had some health issues (possibly autoimmune) and may need medication. We think it may be food related (fish sensitivity) and she hasn’t needed medication for some time, but for this reason, we are listing her as slightly special needs. It’s not hard to do, but for this reason we are listing her as special needs. Solo doesn't like being a solo kitty and would be happiest in a home with at least one other kitty to pal around with. If you’re looking for a friend for your current kitty, Solo may be your girl! She can also be adopted with her foster buddy, Bingo. Solo has experience with a dog in her foster home but prefers when the dog is calm and quiet and would likely be fine in a home with a respectful dog friend. gr
