Story
LIttle Iris was found by a farmer as she was crying and crying at the edge of his farm field. She was skin and bones, had a big sore on her upper lip and very scared so the farmer posted her online and our foster family offered to take her in so we could provide her the care that she needed. She was also loaded with parasites and fleas. The farmer was nice to provide her cows milk but cows milk causes diarrhea and that made her situation worse. She is now thriving and living with dogs, another kitten and kids so she is well adapted to lots of noise and activity. Iris is jet black with just one white whisker. She is very sweet too. She enjoys sleeping in a warm lap. Typical of a kitten she likes playing especially hide and seek, She has been spayed and is negative for FIV/Felv. She will need to be kept inside and never declawed. We have an agreement that will need to be signed upon adoption. We are a very small rescue and so Iris can be seen in either in my home or the fosters home in Winchester. We don’t do applications rather we like to talk to the potential adopters to make sure that the cat is a good fit for the adopter. What makes us unique and why adopt from us? I am a certified cat behaviorist so I commit to the future adopter of Iris to help her get adjusted into her new home and be available to assist in any health or behavior questions for the rest of her life. Iris has been exposed to a lot of kids, dogs, and another cat so she is well rounded. I like to show adopters how to train their cats using clicker or treat training. It’s a lot of fun and helps build a strong relationship between the adopters and the cat. Feel free to call me or text to set up a time to chat. I Dont Do Email so please call or text . I have a farm so I am too busy to spend time on email. Thank you in advance for your interest in Iris she will be a wonderful addition to any family. Kim Walker 931-337-4199

Story
Little Mochi was dumped at the back of her foster Moms property as all of a sudden she heard a little mewing sound and it was coming from the bamboo thicket at the back. She had never seen her before and she knew she had to have been dumped … The poor girl was so scared but very quickly looked for help … Mochi is smart and a super snuggle bug. She knew enough to find a person to save her!! She is living with a few dogs, kids, and another young cat. She loves to be petted and is a lap cat. She is typical of a kitten and loves to play , both by herself and with people then when she is ready to sleep she wants curl up in a warm lap.She would make a wonderful addition to even a busy home. She is scheduled to be spayed and tested for FIV/Felluk, is already dewormed so parasite free. She will be fully vetted when it is time for her to go to her forever home! I am a certified feline behaviorist and so I am always available to help Mochi transition into her new home and offer my assistance if any help is needed. I’m committed to provide my knowledge in behavior and nutrition for Mochi as my goal is for her to have a happy forever home. For questions or interest please CALL or TEXT Kim at 931-337-4199. No emails please. PS more pictures are available and we can set up a meet and greet before adoption. I have a simple adoption agreement that is filled out upon adoption.

Story
One Cool Cat seeks Loving Family! My name is Tommy Lee because I am one cool guy. I absolutely love people. My coat is a beautiful gray with dark gray stripes with deep green eyes. It’s an easy to manage coat and l love to be brushed. I am a good sized boy. I was dumped at a restaurant across from my foster moms home. Unfortunately many cats like me are dumped at this restaurant. I was thin, full of fleas, and desperately wanted food. Luckily my foster mom found me and quickly took me in and gave me all the necessary vet care, good food, and love. My mom has a lot of cats and I crave attention so she feels its best for me to have my own forever family where I can get more love and affection which I so crave. I am self confident and not afraid of strangers or new things. I think everyone should be my best friend and play with me! I get along with dogs and cats. My best friend is another boy the same age as me. If you are looking for an outgoing, purr machine with a big heart full of love then consider me as your forever companion. As a bonus my foster moms have a lot of experience with behavior and nutrition so are happy to help me adjust to me new home and are there for my life to help should any questions or advice is needed. Kim is a certified behavior consultant! Please text or Call Kim at 931-337-4199. ( please no emails). I promise Ill be a purrfect addition to your family!!

Story
Krystle Carrington is a beautifully marked tortoise shell kitten. Sometimes we think she is like a meerkat as she likes to sit up on her hind legs and peek out of windows or over furniture. She is an extremely sweet and loving girl. She has had her vaccines except for rabies which she is scheduled to receive on the date of her spay appointment on April 2. She is Felv/FIV negative, parasite free, and healthy. She loves to cuddle and is happy to sleep in bed with you. Being a kitten she is playful and curious especially about new toys and things in the house. If you work from home she is content to help you with your paperwork :) . She lives in her foster home with other cats and dogs which she gets along with quite well. Being a kitten she will adjust to a new home quickly however she would do better with older children as opposed to very young children. Being a feline behavior consultant I am happy to assist with transitioning her into her new home in order to make the process as smooth as possible and give free advice on behavior and nutrition if needed. We prefer her to be indoor only and if she isn’t a good fit we will take her back as we want her to be happy with her new family. Please call or text Kim at 931-337-4199 for more information or to schedule a meet and greet with Krystle. We look forward to hearing from you ! :) She will make a fantastic addition to any family!!

Story
Sierra is an adorable 7 year old calico who needs a quiet home. She is very shy and likes having places to hide. She is used to living with two other cats and bonds with new cats well. My oldest cat (black) unfortunately does not like her, and she stresses him out. She is not a lap kitty, and wants affection on her own terms, but can be very affectionate and talkative, especially around mealtimes. She is microchipped, UTD on all vaccines, spayed, and gets flea and tick prevention regularly. We are planning a large move soon and know she would not do well on the trip at all. We need to rehome her so she has happier chance at life.
