Story
Bonded Sister Kittens! Pip (more color/darker face) and Goose (whiter/little mustache) are literal angels and very very funny. They love wet food (even the bulk stuff from Costco) and have an affinity for spring toys. They come with a water fountain, stainless steel litter box, automatic dual feeder, cat tree, and many many toys. Both can be shy starting out meeting people, but quickly warm up and get right to making biscuits on any lap they can. Goose is a pur pur queen and pip is a more silent and calm type. Both certainly bonded to one another so they would be a package deal, but are also like one single cat haha! They are both smaller and very well behaved. They love chasing eachother and don’t like loud noises. Due to circumstances changing, it is with a heavy heart that I must find them a new home. They are loved, and I can only ask that they find a home that loves them as much as I do.

Story
Koda is a loving, chonky marbled bengal that thrives on affection. Unlike many bengals, he’s lazy and a little bit of a dolt. He only wants to snuggle, play with a chaser occasionally, and sleep in the window. He loves hanging out on his cat tree. He’s VERY cuddly. He will crawl up in your lap and give you massages with his big paws. He greets any visitors like a dog, and is one of the friendliest cats out there. He has no known medical issues. Front declawed. He is scared of kids, but loves everyone and everything else. So no kids for him. He won’t be mean, but he will hide. No large dogs either. He does well with them, but for his own safety, smaller dogs are better. They must be cat friendly. He does not run if he’s being chased. He tolerates baths. He is indoor only, unless outside in a fenced yard with strict supervision. He will chew on plants so best to not have any around, or at least make sure they aren’t toxic. Rehoming free includes all this belongings.

Story
Turk is a mysterious and shy black cat with a wild side that only those who take the time to get to know him will truly appreciate. Named after the spirited gorilla from Disney's Tarzan, Turk is often reserved, preferring to observe the world from a safe distance but underneath his quiet exterior is a heart just waiting to connect with the right family! Turk is still learning that humans aren't all that bad to be around and is looking for a family who will accept him just as he is—quiet, quirky, and full of potential! If you're looking for a low maintenance cat to make the house feel less empty, Turk will show you how wonderful it is to love a cat who’s one-of-a-kind.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Janet — a shy beauty with a story to tell. Janet is a stunning orange kitty with striking eyes, but she’s a bit on the skittish side. She may take some time to warm up to new people and environments, so she’s best suited for a calm, patient home where she can take things at her own pace. While Janet isn’t the cuddliest or most outgoing cat, she has her own quiet charm and enjoys observing the world from a safe, comfortable spot. With the right person who understands her boundaries, she can feel secure and even start to show glimpses of her personality. If you’re looking for a cat who thrives in a peaceful environment and you’re willing to let her come out of her shell in her own time, Janet could be the perfect companion for you.
