Story
Meet Garbanzo Bean! Garbanzo Bean is a gorgeous long-haired gray and white tuxedo boy with striking gold eyes. Rescued by us in the summer of 2020, this affectionate bottle-baby was adopted at just three months old. Unfortunately, his previous family couldn’t provide the love and care he deserves, so he was returned to us a few months ago, around his 4th birthday. Garbanzo is a calm and gentle cat who is truly looking for a loving home. He gets along well with dogs and would be a wonderful companion in a quiet household with a small to medium-sized dog, or even as an only pet! However, he has some litter box habits that need attention. After being confined to small spaces and using a cramped litter box, Garbanzo developed the habit of pooping just outside the box on a pee pad. While he still uses the litter box for peeing, pooping outside the box has become an ingrained behavior and will require patience and consistent training to help him break the habit. Although we’re unsure of Garbanzo's past experiences, he is still decompressing and learning to trust again. He enjoys lying on the bed next to his person and being gently stroked on his back. With time and care, Garbanzo’s loving nature will shine through. He may even start playing fetch with you! Garbanzo is a bit nervous around other cats and would do best as the only feline in a household. He needs a patient, understanding adopter who is committed to helping him re-learn proper litter box habits. A non-carpeted area or a catio would be ideal for him to adjust and break his current habits. Garbanzo is up-to-date on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and negative for FIV/FeLV. He has been fully vetted and has no underlying health issues. He is searching for a quiet, loving home where he can feel safe and thrive. If you think you could be the special person to offer Garbanzo the love and patience he deserves, please apply today!

Story
Meet Mr. Whiskers! Mr. Whiskers was rescued as a tiny kitten with a terrible eye infection, but with care and love he has grown into a handsome brown tabby with striking stripes and the softest fur. His gentle spirit shines through in everything he does. Although a little cautious at first, Mr. Whiskers is truly the sweetest soul—like an old soul in a kitten’s body. He’s playful and curious, yet incredibly gentle with the other kittens, almost like a big brother watching over them. He enjoys being pet and will happily accept a quick cuddle, then settle in to relax beside his favorite human or fellow furry friend. This quiet boy purrs softly, finds comfort just being close, and is deeply loyal to the people he trusts. He gets along wonderfully with other cats, is tolerant of dogs, and does well with respectful children who understand his need for gentle handling. Mr. Whiskers is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and FIV/FeLV negative. He is healthy, happy, and ready to bring his loyalty, quiet affection, and steady companionship into his forever home. Anyone who adopts this gentle, gorgeous boy will be gaining a truly loyal and loving companion!

Story
Meet Shirley! Shirley was rescued in early May alongside her sister, Laverne, when they were only a couple of weeks old. She has blossomed into a gorgeous calico with a gentle, affectionate nature and a quiet sweetness all her own. Shirley is a loud purrer who loves snuggles, happily soaks up every pet and kiss, and finds comfort in being close to her person. She adores playtime and enjoys chasing toys, but she is just as content curling up for a cozy nap afterward. She presses in close for affection, loves being cuddled, and has a trusting spirit that makes her a great companion. She gets along beautifully with people of all ages and will thrive in a home that cherishes her calm, loving personality. Shirley is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and FIV/FeLV negative. She is a healthy, happy kitten who is ready to share her love with her forever family. Anyone who welcomes Shirley into their life will be gaining a truly special friend. ?

Story
Meet Titi! Titi and her family (Bunny, Choli, Benito, Dakiti, and Mia) were rescued together from Puerto Rico’s El Yunque Rainforest. While out on a hike, their mama Bunny was spotted on the side of the road and, after some time, led the way to her kittens hidden among the trees, rain, and earth. Titi and her family made the journey home with us from Puerto Rico and are now affectionately known as our Bad Bunny, or El Yunque, babies. Titi is one half of an inseparable duo with her sister Dakiti. The two are often mistaken for twins. Both are all white, with only slight tabby markings on the tops of their heads that make them just distinguishable from one another. Like the rest of the litter, Titi is gorgeous, with big ears and large, expressive eyes that perfectly reflect her playful, affectionate personality. Titi is a true energizer bunny with a playful, adventurous spirit. She loves to play and especially enjoys racing around with Dakiti, as the two share the same level of zoomies. Titi also loves being up high. Fair warning: you may want to rethink your curtains, because Titi will happily climb all the way to the top of the curtain rod and watch the world go by alongside Dakiti. Despite her love of adventure, Titi is extremely affectionate and loves being close to her people. Like her siblings, she enjoys laying right on top of you, happily doubling as a little hot water bottle to keep you warm. She is very friendly, not shy at all, and seeks out attention and affection whenever she can. Titi must be adopted with her sister Dakiti. Both, named after Bad Bunny songs, are deeply bonded. Titi does well with other cats, is great with children, and would likely be comfortable with a calm, cat-friendly dog given a proper introduction. She is spayed, dewormed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and FIV/FELV negative. If you are looking for a playful, affectionate bonded pair with big personalities, a love of heights, and even bigger hearts, Titi and Dakiti may be the perfect addition to your family.

Story
Gibson is a 16-week-old male kitten with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This playful little guy is always on the move—chasing toys, wrestling with kitten friends, and showing off his impressive pouncing skills. He approaches life with confidence and curiosity, making every day a little more entertaining. When playtime winds down, Gibson is happy to relax and enjoy some affection. He loves attention, gentle pets, and being close to his people. Social and outgoing, he’d do well in a home ready for kitten antics and plenty of interactive play. Because he’s still young and thrives on companionship, Gibson would need to be adopted with a friendly feline buddy or go home to a family that already has a playful resident cat. With the right match, he’ll grow into a well-adjusted, loving companion. If you’re looking for a fun-loving kitten to bring energy and affection into your home, Gibson is ready to rock his way into your forever family.
