Story
This is Terry! A shy sweetie just looking for a life of companionship. Terry appreciates slow and gradual introductions while he's adjusting to new people and places. As he settles in, his curiosity will get the better of him, and he'll cautiously start exploring. He'll also reveal that his favorite hobbies include playing with his beloved toy mouse, being petted, and birdwatching. Terry is quite the little character. He's chatty and not afraid to let you know when he's hungry. His generous purr tells you how much he treasures your love and attention. Terry loves to stay close to his humans and get plenty of pets. At night, you'll often find him resting on the floor nearby. This well-mannered boy doesn't jump onto the kitchen counter or table and is great with the litter box. He's also a master at "hunting" wand toys, zooming, jumping, and tumbling with excitement. He has a fun and energetic spirit. This little charmer brings so much joy every day! Terry is looking for a home where he can continue to blossom into his best self. Are you ready to give this sweet soul the loving home he deserves?

Story
Allow us to introduce you to three of the windiest, wildest kittens you could ever hope to meet! These three little whirling dervishes are panleukopenia survivors, and are now as healthy as any other kitten around. Tornado has the biggest heart, and nothing makes him happier than human affection. When him and his siblings were first rescued, he was the smallest and the sickest. He therefore needed the most intensive care. Even though he is now a pinnacle of health, those early days caused him to trust and love people more than you would expect from a stray kitten. He just wants to be as close to people as he can! Tornado is about 3 months old and needs an active, loving home where he feels safe and secure.

Story
"Hi, I'm Socrates! I'm a little bit shy at first, but with the right companion, I'm excited to make a new best friend! On most days, you'll likely find me curled up in a blankie, daydreaming (philosophizing) about birds, treats and the way to a human's heart. I'm looking for a peaceful place to call home where I can play to my heart's content, get lots of pets, and continue my contemplating my treatise - it'a called tuna tidbits. I'm a ten out of ten with my litter box habits and I promise to never scratch on your furniture. Come be my bestie!

Story
Looking for a laid-back kitty with a playful side? Meet Figment, the ultimate "chill" cat. He'll spend his days lounging by your side, soaking up the sun, and napping, but when the evening rolls around, his fun-loving side comes out. Figment loves chasing his laser pointer, batting at his toy mouse, and is always ready for a few treats. He's incredibly gentle-no biting or scratching here-and enjoys being close to his humans, often nudging you with his head or paw when he's in the mood for pets. While he doesn't love being held for long, he will tolerate being picked up briefly. Figment is the perfect mix of relaxed and playful, making him the perfect mellow buddy to chill with!

(when grown) -
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Porkie is a sweet and playful companion who loves cuddling, especially snuggling up on your lap or chest for a cozy nap. Porkie is a social guy who enjoys head scratches and will jump up on your lap to keep you company. At night, he loves to sleep nearby or curl up right on you. He has a soft spot for felt toys, laser lights, and his favorite shoelace with a toy attached, which he loves to toss in the air and bring back when you throw it. With his affectionate, confident, and occasionally independent nature, Porkie would do best in an adult-only home or with older children who can respect his space when needed. He'd be a wonderful fit for a single person, a young couple, or an older family looking for a calm but playful, loving companion.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meaning "beautiful lady, Belladonna is one of our rescue's newest who we're certain will win your heart! This sweetheart is more than just a good companion, she'll be hopelessly devoted to you! Spending the majority of her time right by her foster parent's side, Belladonna loves nothing more than cuddling and staying close to the people she trusts. She loves sitting on laps and reminding people of her company. Pets are something she accepts endless of, so an owner who's more on an at-home schedule would best fit Belladonna's needs. A home with children or multiple members is also ideal as Belladonna rarely spends time by herself. As far as other cats and dogs go, right now a home without other pets seems to be the best fit for her transition, but this doesn't rule out the possibility of having her meet your fur babies for a possible new friendship! Up for being a sous-chef? Belladonna's foster highlights her rigorous "biscuit making schedule and jokes that you'll certainly be the dough for many of her recipes. She also has quite the voice and has learned how to use it for treats-smart! When not cuddling right by your side or entertaining you with her funny personality, this kitty scores high on the playfulness assessment. She loves chasing around string mice and wand toys specifically. Her foster believes these are her favorite games because they involve interaction with people. Belladonna takes her playtime seriously and will get antsy if she hasn't exercised enough, so an owner who can fulfill this time would make her the happiest. We can't wait for an active and attentive family to meet their newest member!
