You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If you're working for home or just playing it safe by practicing social distancing, now is a perfect time to bring a new furry family member into the fold. Email us any questions about any cats we have and we will be happy to provide any additional information you may need. If you are approved for adoption, we are now doing curbside adoptions in order to minimize contact. Edith is about 9 years old as of December 2023.  Edith was adopted as a kitten and returned to our rescue at 9 years old through no fault of her own.  Out of 4 cats in the home, she was asked to leave and not a bid of it made sense!  We adopted her out a few months after her initial return to an elderly lady who had recently lost her baby of 15 years.  The adoption was contingent upon the granddaughter's promise to care for Edith in the event that Grandma could not.  Guess what?  That promise was not honored and Edith is now back with us.  While we are happy she is safe here, she needs stability and love without being bounced around.  Imagine losing all you knew and had after 9 years only to have a few months of love and stability before becoming confused again!  Edith is a beautiful girl, she's shy and will need a home with patience who will give her time to adjust from all she has experienced.  She has lived with other cats and will make a fine addition to the right home.  Adopt her today!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All of our cats have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped, and tested for FIV/FeLV.

If you are a senior (65 years or older) you can adopt any of our senior cats (7 years or older) for only $10! Please mention this special when applying.

Email us any questions about any cats we have and we will be happy to provide any additional information you may need. If you are approved for adoption, we are now doing curbside adoptions in order to minimize contact. Rocky is about 1 year old as of April, 2024.  He is the sweetest boy, timid at first, but once he knows you won't hurt him, he is all about pets, scratches and playing with the wand toy!  He is a complete pushover for his wet food and anyone can bond with him that will give him time to adjust and be brave.  Rocky showed up at a lady's home with visible wounds.  Fortunately, he was helped and received medical treatment along with neuter, rabies, vaccinations, etc.  Unfortunately, his visible wounds could be repaired but he tested positive for Feline Leukemia Virus (FELV) and that, unfortunately, can not be totally "fixed"  Other than his tattered ear, which was repaired with sutures, Rocky shows no visible signs of prior injury or illness.  He leads a totally normal life and is healthy!   FELV cats in our care before have lived up to 8 years and stories show that they can live many more.  They do require a home with only FELV positive cats/no other cats since the virus spreads between felines only easily.  Our no kill rescue would never euthanize a healthy boy like Rocky; he deserves life and a chance.  Adopt him today.  Approved applications will be contacted within 48 hours.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All of our cats have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped, and tested for FIV/FeLV.

Ginger is estimated to be about 12 years old.  She lived her entire life outside until she was brought into rescue at the end of May, 2024.  She has had many litters of kittens but that has all changed now since she is now fully vetted and vaccinated and she won't have to worry about those things anymore.  She may be 12, but she is great shape.  Bloodwork was run and it is normal!  Dental was complete with 11 extractions.  She is feeling so much better!  Ginger is adjusting well to the inside life.  She's sweet and will need time to adjust in her home with patience while she learns to be brave and trust.  She will require a home that can be careful with her by the door as she continues to adjust to the inside life.  She has lived her life with multiple cats, and she chooses her own little space, in her bed, happy!  She would be a wonderful addition to a quieter home.  Adopt her today.  Approved applications will be contacted within 48 hoursVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All of our cats have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped, and tested for FIV/FeLV.

Story
Hello, I am a spayed female cat, about 5 years of age. I use to be a homeless single mom, but a kind elderly lady took me and my 2 kittens in. After she passed away, I was locked up in a heated barn (with food and water) for nearly 2 years. I was with my 2 children and 1 other housemate of mine. It was not much of a life in that barn. So, a compassionate foster lady took me into her beautiful bedroom where I have learned to be more affectionate and playful. I love to eat, sleep, look out the window and play....if you play with me. I love lickable cat treats. I am not a lap cat or into cuddling at this time, but I love my head and neck rubbed. I like petting in general. I am up-to-date on my Rabies and Distemper 3-in-1 shots, therefore my adoption fee is $75 Please email or text if you are interested. (xxx) xxx-xxxx Thank you for your consideration.
