Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Dolores is a large lady in size and personality. She enjoys quiet company and is very curious, but isn't a fan of too much affection unless it's in her terms. She is pleasant and food motivated, she can also be vocal. She loves watching lizards from the windowsill but isn't otherwise boy interested in toys. Her main dislikes are enthusiastic petting, other cats and not getting her way. She can playfully bite or swipe but isn't aggressive nor mean. Despite her size she can be a food snob and hasn't quite landed in a diet she truly relishes. She likes wet food with gravy, and will accept treats.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Dolly is a delightful feline with a big personality. She loves spending her days climbing cat trees, rolling in catnip, and chasing laser pointers. Dolly thrives in an adult-only household where she can enjoy her independence and be the single lady of the house. Despite her charming nature, Dolly has been overlooked for adoption. She's patiently waiting for her forever home where she can reign as the queen of the castle. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion who values her own space, Dolly Parton is the perfect cat for you. Give her a chance, and she'll reward you with endless love and playful moments. Dolly Parton's adoption fee has been generously sponsored by Perry's Pump Repair LLC.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
My name is Claudine and I'm very much a people person (and not so much a fan of other cats or dogs). I love attention and will follow you everywhere you go. I have an allergy that caused me to lose the hair on my face. Once I got the right medication it all grew back except for my eyebrows. I think this makes me look quite exotic! I am on a once daily pill, but I am very cooperative and am easy to medicate. If you are looking for a true companion, I am your cat.

Story
Freckles was part of a huge animal neglect case in a local county and our rescue took in 17 animals. He is a great cat and very loving but can be a bully to other cats. He enjoys being outside but we find he has snuck in all the time so we think he would love to transition to an inside baby.

Story
Darcy showed up at someone's house and they thought she was a kitten. Turns out she was an adult and possibly had already had a litter of kittens herself. Darcy is the most mild mannered and sweet cat I have ever brought into my rescue. Right away she was fine with all the other cats and is very affectionate and loving. She keeps to herself but when approached is always ready to kiss your hand

Story
Patchouli was brought in with 8 siblings or cousins from a feral colony. She has had sniffles but is doing better and would benefit from getting out of the rescue environment. She is very sweet and loves to be interacted with. She used to be very spicy and did not like people and takes a few to warm up. She would do great with one of her siblings -Iris, Florence, Danica, Sprig etc

Story
Celi is a very sweet, calm-tempered kitten, about 5 mos old now. He is playful with other cats and people, loves cuddles, and handles the rough play he gets from my 4 year old outstandingly. Ideally I would love to see him rehomed with his sister, Korra, but this is not a necessity. He is fixed, is currently up to date on shots and dewormer, and is currently fed Purina One with wet food each night. He is litter box trained and has not had any accidents the last 2-3 months. He would be an outstanding family kitty, or just for someone who loves cuddles. He loves to nuzzle up on your neck and purr himself to sleep.

Story
Korra is a sweet, loving, and playful kitten, about 5 months old. Ideally, I would like to see her go with her brother, Celi, however it's not a requirement. I saved her from a bad situation as well as her brother, but she is very healthy now and is wel trained. She is very affectionate and talkative, and loves to play. She is good with kids, but doesn't care for the rough handling and play of kids younger than 5. My older child of 12 and her get along swimmingly. We need to find her a new home because we cannot afford to take care of more cats, otherwise I would hate to lose her. She is a sweet little girl looking for a loving home!

Story
Hi! Gift is a 5-year-old boy. I adopted him in January 2024 when he was a 5-month kitten. We have lived together for 5 years, and he is a very friendly and lovely cat. He has been living well with other cats and dogs of my roommates for over one year. Due to a recent change in my health, I've developed an allergy to cats. It's a difficult decision, but I want to ensure Gift continues to live a happy and comfortable life in a loving home. If you feel that you could be the perfect match for Gift, please reach out! I'd be happy to tell you more about him and arrange a meeting.
