Man of Gold began his life outdoors with his feral mother, but a compassionate individual recognized his potential for a safe and loving indoor environment. He was brought into her foster home at just a few weeks old, accompanied by his siblings, and he has adapted remarkably well. Man of Gold exhibits a lively and spirited personality, demonstrating a strong desire for love and attention. He is also quite expressive in his vocalizations. His favorite activities include eating and snuggling, making him an ideal companion. In addition to his wonderful temperament, Man of Gold possesses stunning eyes that set him apart from other black kitties. He would make a fantastic addition to any household.

Emeralda is an absolutely delightful little companion. She has the shortest legs and the smallest body among her siblings, which adds to her charm. Her round face is quite endearing, and she certainly knows how to capture attention when she desires it. While she tends to be shy and reserved, she truly enjoys receiving love and expressing her affection. Despite her shyness, she exudes a lovely sense of confidence. I truly believe she would be a wonderful addition to any home!

This house panther is such a sweet guy. He loves ear and jowl scratches. He gets along with 4 small dogs and 3 other cats. We would not recommend young children with him, maybe 12 and up. We would imagine he would do fine with bigger dogs. He is just a very chill guy.

Story
Yzma is a one-of-a-kind cat with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Facing a neurological condition that affects her mobility, she doesn’t walk like most cats—but that doesn’t slow her down. Instead, she’s perfected her own unique way of getting around by flopping herself from place to place with determination and charm. Despite her special needs, Yzma is a happy, playful, and affectionate companion. She uses potty pads and eats independently, though she appreciates a little support. Her condition isn’t progressive, and she’s otherwise completely healthy—just delightfully different! What Yzma loves most is interaction—whether it’s playing with crinkle balls and wand toys, or snuggling up with her favorite humans. She has a sweet way of calling out and reaching for attention when she wants to be held, making her a deeply affectionate companion. She approves of other cats and is cautious but respectful around dogs. Yzma may be different, but her spirit is unstoppable. She’s looking for a loving home that appreciates her unique charm and is ready to embrace a cat who brings joy, resilience, and endless cuddles into their life.

FELV PAWSITIVE FOSTER SPOTLIGHT✨ Jake 🐱 Male - 4 Years 💙 Here’s what Jake’s foster mom has to say about him: Jake is a typical affectionate orange cat with a loving personality!❤️ At 4 years old, he never passes up an opportunity for a pet or cuddle! He enjoys roughhousing with his foster siblings🧶, chasing the laser pointer, and receiving plenty of snuggles, headbutts, and head pets!🥰 His only dislike? Being ignored, he truly can't stand a lack of attention or affection, he’s the most lovable guy!☺️ Jake has been waiting for far too long for his forever home – all because he’s positive for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) But don't let that scare you away – this PAWSitive Pal has so much love to give! 🐾💕 FeLV-positive cats can live happy lives and fill your home with joy, snuggles, and purrs. While his diagnosis does come with some considerations before adopting, he deserves a chance at a wonderful life, just like any other kitty!🏡❤️ Jake has been overlooked for too long, and we know the perfect family is out there who will see beyond his diagnosis and embrace the love Jake is ready to share!🌈
