Story
Meet She-ra, a gorgeous little tortie with an irrepressible personality. She-ra is a special-needs kitty who was surrendered to the shelter after she was attacked by a dog in her home. The attack left her with a paralyzed tail and no control over her bladder or bowels. She will need to wear a diaper for the rest of her life - but don't you dare call her a baby! She's a mighty hunter against whom wand toys and crinkle balls don't stand a chance! She's also a consummate explorer, scaling heights that would send shivers down the spine of an average cat. After a long day, she wants nothing more than to curl up on your lap (preferably with a fluffy blanket). She claims her purr can give listeners magical powers. She-ra needs a loving home where her humans can give her lots of attention and care. She gets along well with other cats but cannot be adopted into a home with dogs. Please fill out an application today to meet with this special girl - she's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Story
Hi there, my name is Elsa. I am a shy long hair girl. I do get along with other cats, although it may take me time to get used to them. It will also take a while for me to get comfortable with you, but I promise I am worth it! I like to play and hide and receive treats. Come visit me today!

Story
Latte and Mocha are a pair of brown tabby best friends with a truly special bond. Though they’re six years apart in age, Latte is 1 year old, and Mocha is 7, they are completely inseparable, always finding comfort in one another’s presence.Mocha, the elder of the two, is a wise and vocal lady who communicates in her own unique way, sometimes even with a hiss as a quirky form of greeting. Don’t let it fool you—she’s not upset, it’s just her way of saying hello and expressing herself. She finds confidence and calm in her younger companion and appreciates a calm, understanding environment.Latte, the younger tabby, is curious, playful, and more adventurous. She enjoys exploring new spaces but always checks back in with Mocha, often curling up next to her or gently comforting her when things feel overwhelming. Their bond is beautiful to witness. Latte brings out Mocha’s playful side, and Mocha provides grounding and comfort to her energetic friend.These girls do very well with other cats and would likely enjoy feline companionship in their next home. We aren’t sure how they’d respond to dogs, as dogs aren’t allowed in the adoption area. If you have resident pets, we strongly recommend slow and gradual introductions to ensure a peaceful transition for all.If you’re looking for a duo that brings both youthful energy and mature charm, look no further, these two are ready to bring warmth and companionship into your life.

Story
Grimhilde may have a name fit for a fairy-tale villain, but she’s truly a sweetheart at heart. This gorgeous 1-year-old brown tabby came to the shelter with her sister Snowflake, and eight kittens between them! With identical babies and shared parenting duties, Grimhilde was a devoted mom, helping her little ones grow strong and healthy.Now that her kittens have moved into foster care, Grimhilde is taking some well-earned time to relax and be cared for herself. She’s affectionate and social, and she doesn’t mind being handled, especially in short, calm sessions. She’s adjusted well to indoor life and would thrive in a home where she can continue enjoying the safety and comfort of being inside.Grimhilde does well with other cats and may do well with dogs after a proper, gradual introduction. If you`re looking for a loving feline with a gentle soul and a story of resilience, Grimhilde is ready to start her next chapter with you.

Story
Meet Kenny2-Year-Old *Brown Tabby *Timid but Full of PotentialKenny is a quiet soul with the softest fur and the gentlest eyes — and while he’s still learning to trust, we see so much potential in him. At just 2 years old, Kenny came to us terrified and unsure of people. And although he’s made some small steps forward, he’s still a timid guy who needs lots of time, patience, and love to truly come out of his shell.Kenny isn`t the kind of cat who will run up to you right away — but behind those watchful eyes is a heart waiting to feel safe. He needs a calm, quiet home with someone who understands that building trust is a journey, not a race.We believe in Kenny, and we’ve seen glimmers of the sweet, loving cat he can become with the right person by his side.If you think you could be that person — someone with a kind heart and a patient spirit — apply today and we’ll be happy to set up a meet and greet. Kenny is waiting, and he deserves a chance to feel safe, loved, and home.
