Story
Elizabeth is a very pretty and regal gal. She is a medium size kitty with beautiful majestic eyes. Elizabeth gets along fine with other cats. One thing she loves is to run on our cat wheel. She loves showing off how fast she can be. A wheel is not a must as long as there is space for her to exercise her athletic talent. Elizabeth had some challenging situations with humans before she came to us. It causes her to shy away from touch but not food! We are confident that with the right person she will grow into a beauty that she truely is October 12, 2024, 12:16 am

Story
Dear Patient Human, Have you ever wished you could be part of someone's incredible transformation story? Well, we're Tabberton (the handsome orange fellow) and Lilith (the stunning calico lady), and we're looking for the next chapter in our journey to becoming brave cats! *Tabberton here!* I've already discovered something amazing - being petted while eating is actually pretty wonderful! Who knew human touches could be so nice? I'm like a shy artist slowly learning to appreciate his audience. My orange fur might say "bold and dashing," but my heart is still working on catching up to that confidence level. *Lilith speaking!* While my calico coat is a masterpiece of colors, I'm still painting my way toward trust. I've made huge strides this year - I actually come out to explore now when things are peaceful! Think of me as a rare flower that blooms best in tranquil gardens. *Together:* We're both young - just about a year old - which means we have so much potential to grow braver with the right person. Think of us as rough diamonds waiting for a patient jeweler to help us shine. We've already proven we can make progress - you should have seen us a year ago! What we're looking for in our forever home: - A quiet sanctuary where we can build our confidence - A patient human who understands that trust is built in tiny, precious steps - Maybe some calm furry friends (we get along great with other cats and even dogs!) - Understanding that sometimes love means just being in the same room together - A peaceful environment where we can continue our journey to becoming brave While we could technically go to separate homes, we've been each other's courage coaches through this whole adventure. Having a familiar friend makes being brave so much easier! The best part? You'll get to witness and be part of every tiny victory - the first time we take treats from your hand, the moment we choose to come closer, that magical instant when we first let you pet us. Every small step forward is actually a huge milestone, and sharing those moments with our human will make them even more special. Are you the calm, patient soul we've been waiting for? The one who understands that the most precious gifts often take time to unwrap? We promise to make every bit of progress worth the wait. With hopeful purrs, Tabberton (The Orange Optimist) & Lilith (The Calico Dreamer) ?? P.S. - They say good things come to those who wait. We think the best things come to those who wait with treats and gentle voices!  P.P.S. - Orange boy here again! Just want to mention that mealtime pets are my specialty. It's my way of saying "I'm trying!" ?March 23, 2025, 5:27 pm

Story
They say good things come in small packages, and I'm living proof! I may be the tiniest of my brothers, but what I lack in size, I make up for in personality and curiosity. Don't let my pint-sized appearance fool you – I'm an explorer extraordinaire! No corner goes uninvestigated, no shelf remains unclimbed, and no toy escapes my mighty pounce. My foster family says I have the heart of a lion trapped in a pocket-sized package. Adventure is my middle name! When I'm not busy discovering new territories around the house, I'm perfecting my favorite hobby: snuggling. I'm an expert at finding the coziest spots, especially if that spot happens to be your shoulder. And fair warning – I have a special fascination with hair. Don't be surprised if you feel tiny paws gently patting your head followed by enthusiastic sniffing. It's just my way of saying "Your hair smells amazing and I love you!" Like my brothers Cinder and Blaze, I have a healthy appreciation for mealtime. My foster mom says my food dance is both hilarious and heartwarming – all four paws working double-time while I make the tiniest, most passionate "mews" you've ever heard. I may be small, but my appetite is mighty! What I'm really searching for is a forever home where my adventurous spirit can thrive, and where there's always a warm lap available for cuddle breaks. Someone who understands that sometimes the smallest cats leave the biggest paw prints on your heart. Could your home be the place where I belong? I promise to fill your days with purrs, your nights with cuddles, and your life with joy!April 25, 2025, 12:55 am

Story
Avalon is a gorgeous big boy. He is quite a presence when he walks into the room. Despite his size, he is comfortable just hanging around with other cats. It seems he had some bad experiences with humans when he wa s a little kitten and is very cautious around anyone. With us just placing a cat in an unknown situation quite a few cats get super anxious and decide to hide and observe the new place and family from relative safety. To help the cat accept you and develop a loving bond, you would need to put in some effort, loving care, and patience. We think that Avalon will adjust in 6 to 9 weeks. You would need to keep him in one small room (preferably your bedroom) and spend time just sitting, talking or even singing to him.  If that is something you would like to do please fill the Bashful Cat match https://forms.gle/fRm4snuyfnSBaVgR9  It will help determine if you and our bashful kitty will have a great life together. If you are a match we will ask that you complete the standard Survey as a next step October 12, 2024, 12:16 am
