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
Blueberry and her sister Mango were abandoned by a lady that was renting a house from a friend. I agreed to foster them until we could find a home or rescue that would take them. I’ve had them for about 6 months. They are very human friendly and get along with my dogs. They tolerate the cats but aren’t very friendly towards them. I would guess they are just over a year old. They love attention and come lay on us. They like to sit on our shoulders and will jump up there anytime they get the chance.

Story
Hogi might have the soulful gaze of an old soul, but don’t let his deep-set eyes fool you – this orange and white bi-color boy is full of playful energy because he's only TWO years old! Hogi loves to chase strings and dart after laser lights, showing off his fun and adventurous side. Once playtime winds down, he’s happy to sit back, relax, and watch the world go by, content to simply be part of the action.  Whether he's entertaining you with his antics or curling up for a break, Hogi's mix of playfulness and calm makes him the perfect balance of fun and chill. If you're looking for a cat with both charm and character, Hogi is ready to bring his unique personality into your home.  The $100 adoption fee covers their spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccines, flea/tick preventatives, deworming medication, and microchip registration.

Story
For the last 5 yrs Annie has been my mom’s constant companion. Unfortunately mom just moved to memory care & we now need to find Annie a new home. She’s a sweet girl whose favorite activity is curling up on the lap of her favorite person. She loves chin scratches & watching birds from the window. She also likes to show off her playful side & will zoom from room to room batting at her toys, before settling in for another cat nap. Kitty treats are a must before bed & she will kindly remind you if forgotten. She can be a bit shy meeting new people & needs someone who will let her warm up to you at her own pace. She’s spent her entire life in a quiet home with a senior. She needs to be the only pet in the home, and needs an adopter who is patient in letting her slowly warm up to you. This will be a big change for her, and one we hope she never has to go through again. She’s a sweet cat who deserves to find her forever home.
