Story
🧶Lucy is adorable, playful, sometimes shy, and very gentle—like a kitten in a sweet 5-year-old body. She’s been the love of our lives. She snuggles with her brother but is uncomfortable with our older cat, so she may do best as an only cat or in a home with people around more, a steady routine, or even a mostly-outdoor/unique setup. 🐈‍⬛ Her challenge is occasional peeing outside the litter box. The vet believes it’s behavioral—loneliness, late meals, or territorial stress. She has her own box for pee, cleaned daily, and uses it, mostly reliably. She’s had a couple mild UTIs that respond well to meds, sometimes with a spot of blood, but further tests are costly. (Less than 1x/ year) 🐾She and her brother may feel more secure together; we’re open to rehoming them as a pair. We aren’t home as much now, and while she uses her box most of the time, the issue has become hard to manage. We adore her and hope she finds a home that fits her needs.

Story
Jinx is a very sweet indoor cat. Jinx likes a peaceful, loving home. He doesn't like loud voices or loud noises. He is scared of male voices and will hide when frightened. Be patient with him; he will eventually come out. He is a very calm, sweet cat and also likes to get his daily playtime. He comes from a peaceful, loving home. Looking for someone who can truly take care of him with love and can spend some time with him daily. He loves wet food.

Story
Hello this is Bella. She’s about 4 years old. Got her in 2021. I have had her since she was a few weeks old. Unfortunately my new born is allergic so we must rehome her. She’s quiet, somewhat of a ninja lol. She loves to cuddle and be rubbed. She has had 5 litters within our time together with our male cat. She is strictly indoor! She has never been outside besides being brought home. She is house trained. Bella is small but long! Her favorite food is MeowMix Tender Centers or wet food mixed with the dry food. She’s only had one owner (me) so I’m hoping she can be with someone who plans to keep a cat for the long run. She has never had any health issues in my care. She recently gave birth 5th litter) so I’d love to see her gain some weight! She may be spayed by the time she gets adopted depending how soon we find a home. We hope to have some communication on how she’s doing once in a blue if the adoptee is up for that. I feel she would be good with someone older and not too busy.

Story
Big, handsome, and full of quiet sweetness, this beautiful black kitty is a little worried right nowâ&#194&#128&#194&#148but beneath that uncertainty is a loving heart just waiting to feel safe. He came from a situation with over 100 cats, so the world can feel a bit overwhelming at first. With patient, understanding people, he will blossom as he settles into a calm, predictable home.He would be most comfortable in a home with other kitties, as feline companionship is familiar and reassuring to him. Once he feels secure, he truly enjoys gentle affection, especially chin scratches and ear rubs. If youâ&#194&#128&#194&#153 re willing to give him time, kindness, and a soft place to land, he will reward you with quiet companionship and growing trust.OTHER PETS: Ralph may feel more comfortable in a home with more feline friends.OWNER EXPERIENCE: Ralph's new family should have experience with worried kitties.KIDS: Ralph would be best suited for a quiet adult only home.ACTIVITY LEVEL: Ralph is currently happiest as a couch potato.VETERINARY CARE: Ralph is looking forward to meeting his new vet and receiving regular vet care.LEVEL OF SOCIALIZATION: Ralph's new family will need to be patient as he learns to trust and settle into his new home.GROOMING: Ralph enjoys being brushed with a soft brush.

Story
Alice has had quite a journey. She arrived from a situation with over 100 other kitties and surprised us all by welcoming her kittens just one day later. After six weeks in foster care devoted to raising her babies, Alice is now back and ready to find a home of her very own.She may be a little cautious at first as she settles in, but with patience and gentle reassurance, her sweet nature shines through. Having grown up around many other cats, Alice would likely be happiest in a home with a friendly kitty companion or two. Sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s ready to leave her mama duties behind and enjoy a calm, loving forever home.OTHER PETS: Alice would love to have a social kitty friend or two.OWNER EXPERIENCE: Alice's new human(s) must have scared kitty experience.KIDS: Alice is better suited for an adult only home.ACTIVITY LEVEL: Alice is currently a couch potato, but we wouldn't be surprised if she learned to enjoy play once she is in her new home.VETERINARY CARE: Alice is looking forward to meeting hr new vet and receiving regular vet care.LEVEL OF SOCIALIZATION: Alice's new family must be patient as she learns to trust she is safe in her new home.GROOMING: Alice keeps good care of her pretty coat.December 23, 2025, 12:13 pm
