Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Sugar was a stray who found herself  pregnant and in need. Her foster took her in so she could safely finish raising  her babies. She has now been in her foster home for almost a year now.  She is spayed up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and microchipped. Sugar has really taken to the indoor cat life. She is sweet and loves her humans. She enjoys a good head scratch and attention  from her people. One of her favorite  things to do is lay in front of the window and watch the world go by. She does well with the children in the foster home, however  has not been tested with other cats or dogs. She would likely be fine with them as long as they are respectful  of her boundaries  and let her be the independent cat she is.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 6, 2024, 5:57 pm

Story
This grey and white cat is a loving and affectionate companion, but he knows what he likes and isn’t afraid to set boundaries. He’ll happily soak up all the love you’re willing to give, curling up next to you or purring contentedly when he’s in the mood for affection. However, if he’s had enough, he’ll let you know with a gentle nudge or retreat to a quiet spot. He’s a cat that values his space but also cherishes the connection he shares with those he trusts. It’s important to note that he has tested positive for Feline Leukemia, so he must be the only cat in the household or live with another cat who is also positive. Despite his diagnosis, he’s still full of life, and with the right care, he’ll thrive in a loving, understanding home. If you’re looking for a loyal, independent companion who knows how to show love on his own terms, this grey and white beauty may be the perfect match for you.

Story
Meet this sweet and adventurous orange cat! At 5 years old, Gus is a charming guy who loves attention and thrives on affection from his favorite humans. He’s always ready for some cuddles, head scratches, or belly rubs—if you give him a little attention, he’ll make sure to return it tenfold with purrs and love. When he’s not soaking up affection, he loves to wander and explore, keeping busy with little adventures around his space. This curious boy has tested positive for Feline Leukemia (FeLV), so he will need to be the only cat in the home or live with another FeLV-positive cat. Despite his diagnosis, he’s full of life and loves to explore and interact with those who care for him. If you’re looking for a social, loving companion who enjoys a little wanderlust along with plenty of attention, this orange beauty is ready to find his forever home!

Story
Meet Sonya!Sonya is the sweetest, most affectionate girl who absolutely adores people! She is always asking for attention and has a playful, goofy side that will keep you smiling all day. Sonya loves to sunbathe and keep her eye on the birds outside. When she first arrived at the shelter, Sonya was thin and sick, but with lots of love and care, she’s regained her strength and is now healthy and happy! Sonya has tested positive for Feline Leukemia (FeLV), so she will need to be the only cat in the home. At 3 years old, she is spayed, vaccinated, and tested negative for FIV, but her FeLV status means she needs a special home where she can thrive on her own. If you`re looking for a loving, playful companion, Sonya is ready to share her heart with you!
