Story
Hello this is Tootsie! She’s a fluffball with lots of love and affection to give. She loves to be brushed and pet and is very enthusiastic about her rope or bird toys! Unfortunately I am downsizing and cannot keep two cats so I’m looking for a new good home for her. She does okay around cats but will probably not bond with them and can play a little rough, so a small cat or kitten may not be recommended for her to be around. Her old owners reported she did good with dogs but she does not tolerate children for very long. If your interested let me know!

Story
Huxley is a 6 year old loving boy that was born on a farm. He gets along well with other cats. He can be a scaredy cat, he is afraid of dogs, storms and wind. He loves to rub his head on you and always wants sleep with his people. His only behavior is when he gets too lonely, like being alone for the weekend, he pees by the door to communicate his loneliness. It only happens part of the time, but we can't find a pattern to correct the behavior. We love him dearly and would be great for someone who spends most of their time at home.

Story
Chai is an adorable loving cat that loves people. She is 2 years old now. I got Chai from the Central Human Society in Nebraska, She was the first cat I ever adopted. I had her through college when I was living in an apartment. I have since graduated and moved into a house. We adopted another cat and did all the right steps to introduce them together but I learned that Chai doesn't like to have other cats in her territory it has been 3 months and she can't get along with my other cat. She also doesn't like dogs that get in her face. I need someone who can give her the life she deserves. I need someone who can provide her with proper enrichment. She likes to lay around wherever the people are. So if you are fine having a one cat household chai is your cat.

Story
$50 adoption fee during our holiday adoption promotion! Sweet Daisy is the last of her siblings to find a home. Rescued in May, this litter was named after springtime flowers - poor Daisy has been in her foster home this whole time waiting for a family of her own! She is a well-balanced kitty, full of fun and play but also eager to relax and be cozy. She has grown up with other cats and gets along with everyone. We have no doubt she would adapt to a home with kids or dogs, too. Daisy grazes on kibble throughout the day and uses the litterbox with no issues. She is ready to find a home for the holidays!  See the flower kittens here: https://youtube.com/shorts/LDXAKIJpfmQ Requires another cat in the home: NoGood with other cats:  YesWould be fine with young kids (under 10): YesGood with dogs: YesHome activity level: Quiet, average, or "bring on the ruckus"Health concerns or special needs: No We believe this kitten/cat was born around 3/19/2025.
