Brindle is a tiny ball of energy. She is very sweet and will not shy away from much. She has been the boss of her giant foster brothers, not backing down from good playtime. She loves to climb so will need a good cat tower for her to enjoy. Most mornings, she is first in line for her breakfast. Brindle loves to flop out for a nice nap with her foster mom. She is a precious girl who is looking forward to a life of adventure with her forever family.

Story
Casey is a long haired  Mackerel Tabby male born April 3, 2025.  Casey is a beautiful long-haired tabby with a gentle soul and a story that shows just how much love can transform a life. When he first arrived at the shelter, he was frightened and in pain, which led many to believe he wasn’t friendly—but the truth couldn’t be more different. Covered in painful burrs that had to be carefully removed, Casey was shaved for medical reasons and is now on the road to both physical and emotional healing. Beneath it all is a sweet, docile boy who simply needed comfort and care. Casey may take a little time to warm up, but once he does, his affectionate and gentle nature truly shines. He would do best in a calm, patient home with other cats, older people, or respectful children who can give him the time and kindness he deserves to feel safe and loved again. Casey has an adoption fee, is neutered, combo tested, vaccinated , dewormed, treated with flea meds and microchipped.
