Story
Boo is a 2 year old cat that has a lot of love to give. He’s just been to the vet and got the all clear that he’s in perfect health. He’s wary of dogs and does well with cats if they’re male or a dominant female and does well with kids if they don’t climb or pull on him. He’s been an important part of our family but after welcoming our second son into the home it became clear he was stressed out with all the young kids. He does well with both men and women

Story
Lilly is a very pretty kitty, mostly white, calico markings on her tail and a gray spot on her forehead. She has the most beautiful blue eyes. She has lived with kids and dogs, but may not prefer them unless they are very well behaved. She can be picky about her kitty friends, but does seem to enjoy kitty company (not sure if she gets along with males better, or just is not a fan of mean girls.) Affectionate, sweet and low key.

Handsome is a boy with lots of energy and loves to wrestle! He needs a kitty friend to wrestle and play with. If you already have a buddy like that, great! If you don't we may be able to find an adoptable pal to go home together. He's a goofy guy with a funny walk-- possible former injury that doesn't slow Handsome down.

Story
Meet Nia, a feline with a heart as big as her personality. She`s an adult cat with a unique blend of shyness and independence, a combination that makes her truly one-of-a-kind. Nia is the type of cat who loves her solitude, yet has a sweet disposition that shines through once she gets comfortable. She may take a little while to warm up, but once she does, her sweetness is undeniable. Nia`s independent streak means she`s perfectly content with some alone time, making her a great fit for those with a busy lifestyle. Her shy nature, however, means she would thrive best in a quiet, calm environment. Nia is looking for a forever home where she can be her sweet, independent self. Adopt Nia, and you`ll have a loyal friend who will give you all the space you need, but also be there with purrs and headbutts when you need some comfort.

Story
Hi there! My name is Baloo, and I’m a 3-month-old bundle of joy with a fluffy tail and eyes full of wonder. I’m the perfect mix of playful and sweet—always ready for a game of chase or pounce, but equally eager for snuggles when playtime’s done. I love to explore every nook and cranny, turning the simplest toy into my new favorite adventure. My gentle purrs fill the room as soon as I'm cradled in loving arms because, deep down, I’m a soft-hearted little guy who thrives on cuddles and affection. Notes from Foster Mom: "Baloo is truly special. His sweet disposition makes him a joy to have around, and his playful antics bring endless smiles. He’s always quick to please and loves being close to people, making him the perfect companion. Whether he’s chasing a feather or curling up on my lap for a nap, Baloo’s warm personality shines through. He will steal your heart in no time."

Story
Duchess' Story: Duchess was dumped when her previous owners discovered she was pregnant. She lived on the streets for 3 years but somehow kept her sweet nature. She delivered that 1st litter two years ago and two more in 2024 (February & August). We were able to trap/rehab the February litter so they could be adopted, and the summer litter was born in-house. Our intent was to keep Duchess and give her a good home. She certainly deserves it. However, as a result of her time on the streets, she does not do well with dogs, and we have two. Duchess has a rear leg that has been broken at some point in her life and it has healed but was never properly set. She has a limp but has adjusted and does well. She is healthy, social and very loving. The last of her babies have been adopted and she just needs a hero with a home where she'll be loved and cared for. Won't you consider being her hero?

Story
My cat, a beautiful gray feline with stunning green eyes, has been a loyal and loving companion to me for quite some time. However, due to recent changes in my schedule and commitments, I find myself struggling to dedicate the time and attention that he deserves. It breaks my heart to admit that I am unable to provide him with the care and affection that he needs to thrive. With a heavy heart a matter that has been weighing on my mind for some time now. As much as it pains me to say this, I have come to the difficult decision to seek a new home for my beloved cat. I want to ensure that my cat is placed in a loving and nurturing environment where he will be cherished and cared for the way he deserves. I believe that finding a new home where he will receive the love and attention he needs is in his best interest, and hoping that someone may be able to assist me in this difficult process and love him. I am hopeful to find him a loving and caring home.
