Story
Hi, I'm Woodsie, a petite 3-year-old "feral to family" girl! I was found outside with my kittens, and even though I was feral, the lady who fostered us couldn't bear to send me back out, because there was no caregiver for me outside. So, she kept me with her, and over time, I blossomed into a very friendly, happy little girl! I get along great with other cats, as long as they are kind to me and don't bully me. I will not do well in a home with cats who are very dominant or aggressive toward me. With friendly kitties, I make friends quickly and get very attached and can often be found walking around "holding tails" and trading head boops with some of my closest feline friends. I have lived in a home with a dog, but as far as I know I haven't been around kids. I think I'd be okay with kids as long as they're calm and gentle with me, and respect my boundaries. I like all food, wet and dry, and I'm a big fan of Churu (who isn't right???) So far, I haven't shown a lot of interest in toys, but maybe we can check out some different toys together and find something that interests me! My favorite thing to do is lounge by a window; I really like fluffy cat beds, as well as cat trees to stretch out on for a long nap. I'm a very affectionate girl and will happily approach for pets (and treats!) I'm not sure yet if I'm a big fan of being picked up and held. One of my cutest attributes is my adorable little overbite! It makes me look sweetly goofy and it just matches my happy, laid-back nature. I'm really looking forward to finding a forever family to love for the rest of my life. Will you come meet me? Who knows, we may end up besties!

Story
Bro Bro & Sister: This adorable brother-sister pair has already been through a lot together and are truly inseparable. Bro Bro is a handsome solid gray boy with a heart (and purr!) as big as his appetite. Sister is a beautiful gray tabby who’s a little more cautious at first, but once she feels safe, her gentle affection and spunky personality shine through. When these two were rescued, Bro Bro was healing from a wound on his back. His devoted sister refused to leave his side and would scream for him until they were reunited — proof that their bond is unbreakable. They love to zoom around, climb everything in sight, and then curl up together for cozy naps. When it’s time to eat, their personalities really come out: Bro Bro is a total foodie who tries to eat from both bowls, so mealtime needs a bit of management to make sure Sister gets her share! Bro Bro is a lot more adventurous and easy going. Sister is shy and reserved, but has a mind of her own. If you are holding her & she wants to be doing something else, she will let you know. Both kittens adore lap time — especially with a soft blanket. Bro Bro will knead and suckle happily while purring loud enough to fill the room. Sister may take a little longer to trust, often hissing out of nervousness (and sometimes even at Bro Bro by mistake!), but she’s all talk. Once she warms up, she becomes a loving little companion with the sweetest, quiet purr. She will pick her human over food any day! Bro Bro and Sister are looking for a forever home together — one filled with patience, playtime, and plenty of cozy blanket snuggles. They’ll reward their people with endless love, laughter, and double the purrs. 💕

Story
Meet Eudora! This gorgeous purr box is finally ready for a home! Coming from a background of surviving outside for over a year, having a litter of kittens that was hard on her and them, Miss Eudora has come through and taken to house cat life beautifully! This princess is shy but chatty and will talk to you quite a bit if she likes you and has warmed up to you! She absolutely LOVES scratches and rubs and can tolerate being picked up for a bit before signaling she's ready to get down. She recently started getting comfortable approaching people on furniture for pets, so she may yet become a lap queen! But never forget, she's proper royalty that loves being pampered. Eudora greets all her favorite subjects by rubbing on legs and talking to you and purring so loud it'll be the only thing you can hear. She also makes sure her subjects are safe during all dangerous activities such as using the bathroom or opening sharp cans of food. But a princess can't be all work and no play and Eudora has been quite fond of playing with the other cats and kittens. She also loves a good box with some crinkly paper and little mice and she enjoys good catnip from time to time for a spot of relaxation. She’s still really nervous around dogs although we suspect if they are small more calm dog she will do better than with a big one. She's still getting used to playing and she’s bound to open up more for the right family! This girl will need some adjustment time but has been taking meds well when she needs to, and she has never lashed out even when she's scared. She's a hider and prefers a quiet space to retreat to. She's also food motivated! She loves it all! She prefers to take treats from a bowl instead of the package or a hand. Again, she's a proper lady! If you love and treat her right, she’ll be your little greeter when you come home from work. (Note for going to the vet: because she’s timid, she will need to be approached more slowly and deliberately or may have a fear response - take your time and she’ll be an absolute angel!)

Story
MEET LEWIS (aka BIG LOU) Big Lou is a 5-year-old, neutered cat who is — and we cannot stress this enough — an ABSOLUTE UNIT. He is large. He is in charge. He moves with purpose and the confidence of someone who knows the wet food budget revolves around him. Lou is curious, adventurous, and fully committed to exploring every inch of his domain. Cabinets? Investigated. Countertops? Patrolled. Things you thought were out of reach? Incorrect. Big Lou will find them. Despite his impressive size, Big Lou has a very specific hobby: napping in tiny little huts clearly meant for much smaller beings. He will cram himself in, achieve maximum comfort, and nap like a king. Physics are optional. He is also the proud owner and sole proprietor of BIG LOU’S BISCUIT SALOON An elite, feline owned establishment where this unit works double shifts. Every biscuit is made by the owner himself and includes complimentary cuddles. When Big Lou’s off the clock he likes to sit back and enjoy a can of fancy feast gravy lovers wet food (chicken or beef) or Purina One Tender Select Blend dry food. Big Lou is also very vocal and has no problem using his voice to communicate his needs. Hungry? You’ll know. Wants attention? You’ll definitely know. Has a thought? He’s sharing it. Does he get along with other cats? Yes. Yes he does. He would do great with a feline friend or as the sole King of the establishment. Despite his “absolute unit” status, Big Lou is a lovable goof with a heart as big as his frame. He enjoys supervising daily life, judging your decisions silently, and reminding you ✨loudly ✨when it’s time for wet food (and also when it’s almost time for wet food). At 5 years old, neutered, seasoned, and snack-motivated, Big Lou is out of his kitten era and deep into his “respected neighborhood legend” phase. If you’re looking for: ✔️ A curious explorer ✔️ A large cat with even larger personality ✔️ The proud proprietor of Big Lou’s Biscuit Saloon, professional tiny-hut napper, and full-time communicator Then congratulations. You’ve been chosen. Adopt Big Lou. Respect the Saloon. Bring wet food.

Story
✨ Meet StarLight — A Tiny Survivor with a Big Spark ✨ StarLight’s story began with heartbreak. She was found with twine and insulation wrapped tightly around her rear leg—so tight it cut off circulation and ultimately required amputation. But here’s the thing… StarLight doesn’t want your pity. What she wants is a chance. Her adorable little stump is part of her charm, and she uses it in the sweetest, most endearing ways—you’ll catch yourself smiling without even realizing it. StarLight gets around just fine and has zero interest in slowing down. This petite girl LIVES for toys, especially anything that rattles. Her absolute favorite is her rattle caterpillar, and when you bring it out, her eyes light up with pure joy. She’s a bit picky about food (hence her tiny size), but offer her a Churu and suddenly she’s very motivated to cooperate. My husband once said StarLight is the embodiment of those waving-arm fortune cats—and he nailed it. 🐱✨ She has been through more than any kitten should, and because her earliest experiences with humans involved pain and recovery, she’s understandably timid. She enjoys affection on her own terms and will even roll over for belly rubs once trust is established. StarLight is the kind of cat who will choose her person and bond deeply—quietly, loyally, and forever. She’s not one to steal the spotlight or host the party. In new situations, she will likely hide. But for the right human—someone patient, gentle, and committed—she will slowly blossom into a devoted companion. 🌙 Ideal Home: • Quiet and calm • No young children • No rambunctious dogs • A patient adopter willing to start her in a small space and build trust gradually StarLight is a little bossy with her kitty friends at first (she likes to establish her authority), but once boundaries are set, she enjoys their company. 🩺 Medical & Care Info: • Age: approx. 3.5–4 months • Weight: just under 3 lbs (petite!) • Rear leg amputee • Vaccinated • Combo tested negative • Microchipped • Will need to be spayed ✨ StarLight isn’t broken—she’s brave. She’s a quiet soul looking for someone who understands that love doesn’t always arrive loudly. If you’re the kind of person who believes the deepest bonds are built slowly, gently, and with trust… StarLight may be waiting just for you. 💫🐾
