Story
Hello! My name is Mitzi and I'm an 8 year old cat. The shelter environment is very stressful for me so I may not be the most welcoming initially, but I am a very sweet girl. I love cheek and chin scritches. Once I warm up to you, I am a lap cat and I like to give playful little nips to my friends. Interested in adopting?

Story
Hello! My name is Kiwi and I'm about 8 years old. I'm a very talkative boy, especially when I'm feeling strong emotions. The shelter environment is stressful for me, so you might find me hiding in the small portion of my kennel. I really like treats and feather toys. I have lived with cats previously. I enjoy being pet on my own terms and only on my head. Do you want to meet me? Interested in adopting? Visit our shelter during open hours and ask about Kiwi A058016March 19, 2025, 7:47 pm

Story
Hello, my name is Meatball Sub and I'm a 3 year old cat. Don't let my cantankerous presence in the shelter fool you! My foster family said that I'm a great house guest. I take a couple of days to decompress from the shelter, but then I'll show you my great personality. I'm an independent, chatty boy. I love squeeze treats, and chin scratches, I also love to play with pipe cleaners and wand toys Interested in adopting?

Bonnie has the most endearing soft meow and will climb on laps to show affection.The adoption fee has been fully sponsored by The Joe Willie InitiativesBonnie is FeLV positive. FeLV positive kitties can sometimes live normal happy lives but are at risk of developing illnesses related to this virus. They should be indoor only and receive regular vet checkups. If there are other cats in the household they should be vaccinated against this disease. As part of my adoption, my new family can receive a complimentary FELV test and initial vaccination series of the FELV vaccine for up to two resident cats in the family!I lived with dogs in my previous home but may be selective with your dog.I lived with cats in my previous home but may be selective with your cat.I don`t have a history of living with children.

Story
Jack came to us as a kitten from a colony near our home that we TNR'd. After seeing how friendly he was, we kept him and decided to help him find a new home. Jack is 7 months and is very energetic, fearless, and incredibly sweet. He comes up to you when he wants pets and likes to be held but will leave once he is ready to play again. Jack lives with both our cats and has been socialized with friends and family. He is potty trained and is used to getting his nails cut and bathed (although he's still getting used to the water). We are hoping to find him a home where he will have friends to play with and lots of love and attention.

Story
Bug the cat is around 9 months old. I adopted him a couple of months ago from the shelter. He is a sweet and curious cat, who is very friendly with people and other animals. He loves to play and explore, however he can be a little bit mischievous too. I love him so much, but unfortunately due to a personal issue between my roommates, I can’t keep him. I work and go to school full-time and I feel that he needs more attention and time than I am able to give him. He is a great cat, but needs an owner who can be home with him often, because he can get into a lot of trouble when left alone.
