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
Harry (gray/blue) and Marv (white/gray) are 3 year old littermates and a bonded pair. We adopted the brothers in 2022 from Almost Home. They are excellent with the litter. Both boys are good with our baby, though Harold keeps his distance more and walks away when he doesn’t want the attention. Marvin is more social and enjoys the attention our toddler gives him. Both get along well with our dog, and Harold is especially fond of cuddling and even cleaning our pup. Marvin enjoys playing and snuggling often. He is usually the first to explore new smells and items and is more social of the two. Harold enjoys a simple life: lounging most of the day, living for treats, and first to greet us when we come home. We are expanding our family and unable to provide these two boys the attention and enrichment they deserve. We think they’d do best in a home with older children (if any) who can respect their feline boundaries. We hope to find them a good, loving forever home.

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
Who are our Working Cats? Some cats are not social enough to live as indoor pets, and prefer an independent lifestyle. These cats have experience living outdoors and are proficient mousers. Since these kitties are happier and more successful outdoors, we put them to work in homes, farms, and businesses where they can do what they do best. All our blue collar kitties are spayed/neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, ear tipped, and fully vaccinated. Why hire a Working Cat? By hiring a blue collar kitty, you can avoid using toxic pesticides, save money on a pest control service, and provide a home to a cat in need. Adoption fees are waived for our Working Cats. Cats are also more effective than other methods of pest control because they act as a deterrent!If you are interested in adopting a Working Cat, please visit the shelter in person to start the process.

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
Oscar is a really great cat, he is just young. He requires a lot of attention and playtime and I cannot provide that for him at this time. He gets along great with our 2 year old cat & 4 year old dog (he has been around them since he was about a month old). Oscar is a very vocal cat who loves food and cuddles. We have a 1 year old who does come around him and pets him sometimes, he’s cool with it as long as his hair and tail doesn’t get tugged on. Oscar needs to go to a really good, loving, attentive home that will give him the best life possible. He really deserves it.

Story
Mazey is a 6 year old (born late 2018) all black female cat. She lives with 2 dogs and four humans and is 100% indoors. She likes to snuggle on the laps in the evening and loves her hinney scratched. She is also a big fan of those wire brushes gently gliding over her back and head. She is not a fan of getting her nails clipped and can get over stimulated when loved on too much. We have a couple of members of our family that are allergic to cats with one of them being a new allergy. We are looking to find her a new home where she can lay in the sun during the day and get love at night.
