Story
Aspen is a five year old ragdoll. He is the gentlest pet. He has never hissed, scratched or bite anyone. He is a typical ragdoll. Floppy and sweet. He does live with other cats and a dog. Aspen loves to eat and meows at mealtime. He is on a veterinary food that keeps his urine ph right so he doesn’t get crystals. My other cats eat it too and all really like it. My family loves Aspen but unfortunately we cannot have all these pets anymore.

Story
Meet Kitty, the enchanting feline with a heart as golden as her fur. With her stunning orange/buff coat and captivating gaze, Kitty embodies grace and beauty from the tips of her whiskers, down to her toes. Kitty was adopted from OOTS as a kitten and sadly had to return when her owner moved to an assisted living facility. Kitty's affectionate nature shines through on her OWN terms, particularly when indulged with chin and forehead scratches. When it comes to playtime, Kitty has discerning tastes. She enjoys the whimsical allure of wand toys, excluding the ones with bells. Laser pointers and cat trees, however, hold a special place in her heart, providing the perfect outlets for her playful spirit. In the culinary realm, Kitty has her own set of preferences. Delighting in pates and gravies, she turns her nose up at shredded or chunky foods, and surprisingly, she's not a fan of tuna, however, her discerning palate only adds to her mystique. A socialite among her peers, Kitty displays a friendly attitude towards other cats, making her an ideal companion for those looking to expand their furry family. Miss Kitty, as she is playfully called by her foster, has a low tolerance for loud noises and excessive commotion. She is seeking a tranquil, serene, and low activity home where she can rest comfortably in love and comfort atop her cat tree. Her unique set of requirements only adds to her charm, and her foster is confident that the perfect home awaits her, where she can truly blossom and thrive. Are you the purrfect person for Kitty?

Introducing Goulash, the affectionate feline companion who warms hearts with his gentle nature.

Goulash adores engaging with playful toys, especially those that make delightful sounds, and you can expect him to be your steadfast game partner until the fun comes to an end. With a little patience, you'll discover one of the sweetest cats around, just waiting to find his forever home. Are you ready to welcome this loving spirit into your life?

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Velma has settled into her foster home beautifully and is ready to charm her way into your heart! This delightful girl loves to say hello with her sweet meows and happily accepts head scratches – on her terms, of course. When she’s had enough, she’ll give you a gentle paw tap to let you know. Velma is a spirited girl who prefers a calm and understanding environment. She may hiss if you invade her space too quickly, but she’s quick to forgive and show her softer side. Velma’s “happy feet” are irresistible! Whether she’s being pet or hanging with her foster sibling, she’s always ready to knead biscuits and do a little paw-tapping dance. Velma would thrive in an adult-only home or with older children who can appreciate her cues. She’s a queen who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to show it. If you’re looking for a cat with personality, charm, and adorable biscuit-making skills, Velma is your girl!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Sugarcane is a 1-year-old female tabby with a shy but sweet nature. She is a little reserved at first, but with time and patience, she warms up to those she trusts. Sugarcane enjoys a quiet environment and would do best in a home where she can feel safe and secure as she adjusts. Once she becomes comfortable, her affectionate side shines through, and she’ll appreciate gentle attention and companionship. Sugarcane is a lovely companion for someone who understands the value of giving a shy cat the time and space she needs to thrive. Is this conversation helpful so far?
