Story
Shadow is one of four who was born on June 30th, 2024. He's a very patient kitty. He always seem to be analyzing the three humans who live with him and loves to observe his siblings wrestling (Hence his nickname "The Pawfessor." He's a calm cat but can also be playful. As much as I'd like to keep him, I just don't have the economic wherewithal to do so. And in all fairness to him, I think it's only equitable that he be given the opportunity to join a family that will be able to give him all the attention he deserves (without having to compete with 6 other cats as is his current condition).

Story
Cheeto is a stray young adult male (6-8 months) who is very friendly, affectionate, playful and well socialized with other cats. He is housebroken and very much wants a nice family to give him a permanent home. He has a great personality and would do well with children or even as a 'lap cat' as he loves to cuddle.

Story
Shall we dance?! Introducing the most dapper guy around... Fred Astaire! With his charming, sweet, suave personality and handsome face, this guy would make a great addition to your world! He likes to wear his tuxedo every day and has plenty of love to give you! He is friendly, carefree, is good with other cats and dogs, and is Mr. Smooth! (It may be important to note that although Fred is good with other cats, he does tend to be a dominant male and is currently top cat here! He would be best in a home with no other male cats due to his dominant personality and he would also be fine as an only pet.) "Fred Astaire... dance on air!" We are absolutely certain that Fred Astaire will dance his way into your heart as he has ours! Fred was previously living as an outside stray cat before being taken in and helped by some good Samaritans! He is now putting on the Ritz and he knows that the sky's the limit as far as his future is concerned! He loves to eat and to indulge in catnip! He will have been neutered, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV tested negative, and microchipped at his time of adoption! Fred Astaire would make an excellent companion and dance partner for you! Interested adopters can submit an application by contacting HobosHome2020@yahoo.com and we will send you the necessary form!

Story
Suzy has been with us since January of 2022 so a little over 2 YEARS now! She is brave, independent, pretty, and strong. She was initially found outside trapped under somebody's deck during a major snowstorm, snowed in, and freezing with some frostbite on her nose! Poor Suzy was pretty emaciated when she was found but quickly gained weight and she has now become a healthy and pretty young lady with absolutely STUNNING golden-copper eyes! We just LOVE her very unique and gorgeous eye color and her pretty coat! She is probably about 3 years old now. It is important to note that Suzy would definitely prefer a home without any other cats but is fine with cat-friendly dogs that are willing to give her some space! Suzy would also be fine as an only pet! She has the typical sass of a tricolored female kitty and would do best with an experienced adopter. (It is very possible that she would be a lot different in personality in a real home without other cats.) We are not recommending a home with young children because she does scratch at times when she has had enough handling. She likes to be pet on the top of her head and tends to be a bit choosy with humans at times. Suzy has been spayed, is up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV tested negative, and microchipped!

Story
Calor is bringin' the heat and he is sure to warm your heart! Calor is a sweet adult cat who is about a year old and is friendly towards people once he has had the chance to warm up a bit and get to know you! Calor does tend to be shy at first and may need a longer period to adjust than some cats might. Calor likes to lounge around or get pets from his people and he will approach people for attention once he is adjusted! He is good with other kittens, cats, and dogs! Calor is a large, handsome, orange tabby cat who likes to curl up and take naps! Calor has been neutered, is up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV tested negative, and microchipped! He was eartipped at his time of neutering due to the fact that he was a part of a TNR project.

"There's no place like home! There's no place like home! There's no place like HOME!!!!" Ruby's life has been quite an adventure but she is ready to settle down and find a real INDOOR home and family to love her! She knows that her home is out there somewhere over the rainbow! Ruby's backstory is that she was found on a farm very emaciated and since coming to us, she has completely regained her health! Ruby has been with us a long time and is now a middle-aged cat. She is friendly and is full of sass like most calico cats! Ruby is fine with dogs and fine with other cats, although she can be a little choosy with who she wants to hang with. She likes her one-on-one time with her person and would be ideal as an only pet although she is capable of cohabiting with other animals if necessary. Ruby is ready to click her ruby slippers 3 times and go home!!! Can you make her dream come true? Ruby has been spayed, is up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV/HW tested negative, and microchipped!
