Story
Chiggins is a 3.5-year-old Maine Coon/Tabby mix. He's a big boy (like his Maine Coon father) but has short hair and tabby markings (like his mom). Chiggins gets along wonderfully with dogs. He probably thinks he's a dog. He is much more picky about other cats. He would do best in a home as an only cat and no small children (he's not a fan of their quick movements and unpredictability). Chiggins is a snuggler but can be suspicious of strangers. We've had Chiggins since he was a baby. He's been an exclusively indoor cat but he has all the makings of a great barn kitty too (friendly and independent).

Story
Displaced by hurricane Helene, both girls (sisters) are about 8 months old and are fully vetted and current on vaccines. Both could use a bit of time to decompress and gain some socilaization skills with a new family, as they are a bit shy after their ordeal. Could be adopted together or separated. No rehoming fee, just hoping to find someone to give them a loving permanent home for the holidays!!

Story
Jiji was a very loved cat, but had to be returned when her mom became ill. Ever since then she’s been very unsure about things. Sometimes this can come out in her hissing, but really she’s just very scared. She loves laying on or in a cat tree, especially by a window. While scared of new people are scary, when she does let you pet her she has the softest fur you’ve ever felt. She has beautiful eyes and the cutest face. Her previous adopter said one of her favorite things about her was how Jiji would start purring really loud just when she would look at her. There has to be someone out there who is patient and understanding, willing to let Jiji adjust to a new forever home.  Her $75 adoption fee covers her spay, vaccines, deworming medication, and flea/tick preventatives and microchip registration.
