Story
I am a big and handsome guy! And just so, so sweet. I love to play but mostly I love to get attention and be petted! I was adopted as a young kitten but returned for having blood in my urine. It was due to crystals so now I eat special food but I use the litter box perfectly! I am a bit shy at first but come around quickly. A also love a nice lap to curl up on and adore head scratches. I have never lived with dogs, but seem okay with cats as long as I have a space of my own. Won`t you come meet me soon? I think you`ll like me!

Story
Tunes! What can we say about Tunes except he is one in a million?! Tunes was a bitty baby last summer when he wound up in the home of a shelter foster mom who bottle-fed him and his siblings. Sadly, they were plagued with health problems and Tunes was the only survivor. He spent the first half of his life fighting for it, with continuous respiratory and eye issues. Happily, he has grown out of most of those issues but may still need an occasional antibiotic for eye flare-ups. None of that stops him from being the sass-bag we at the shelter have all come to learn and love! He is funny, and pushy for love, but isn`t always so sure how to respond to that love. Staff describes him as playful, affectionate, and aloof, and we honestly can`t think of any better words to describe him! He is currently living in one of our open cat rooms, where he gets along with most of his roommates.

Story
Meet Stegers. She is an approximately 2-year-old gray and white DSH who came to the shelter while in active labor. The family wasn`t aware she was pregnant until she began having kittens under their couch and hence her name was born! She is currently in a foster home, and they report that she is a total lap cat. Loves head and back pets, loves affection, and can never be held enough! She currently lives in a house with other animals, that she tolerates, but she is not a fan of dogs. She isn`t aggressive towards them, but you can tell she doesn`t like them. She isn`t overly interested in play, just cuddles, so if you are a dog-free family looking for love, she could be the cat for you! Please fill out an online application to get the process started to meet this sweet young lady!

Story
9-month-old, dilute torti, Wynonna and her mother came to us from another rescue that was a bit overwhelmed and needed help. She was shy but is coming around so nicely! She is still not fond of being picked up--so would be better with adults and older kids--but she loves being petted. And she really loves canned food! She is playful and would probably enjoy another cat for company. She is just the cutest little thing!

Story
Hi there, I`m Darrin, and I am 1 year old. I am a handsome brown tabby boy. I have no shame in my game when it comes to pets and give little head butts to get them and big purrs when I do. I will happily sit in laps for snuggles and pets. I am playful and easy to please when it comes to toys. Any kind of toy is good as long as someone plays with me. I like to play with other cats, so I would do great with another young cat who would play with me. I do well with kids too! They say I am sweet, lovable, and easy to get along with.

Story
Hi there, I`m Granite and I am 2-year-old. I am a pretty, petite, orange tabby girl who was found in someone`s backyard with another cat and load of baby cuteness. The other mama (Sapphire) and I seemed to be fending for ourselves and sharing the burden of responsibility by taking care of the kittens together. Now that our kittens are raised, and we are all safe, it is time for all of us to find loving homes of our own!! You would think that we would be bitter from the situation that someone left us in, but neither of us are. We are both super sweet, affectionate, and friendly. Neither of us seem to really know what toys are, but are curious, and with time will learn to play with them. We enjoy canned food and treats. We love pets, attention, and are gentle and nice! You could not go wrong with either of us sweet young ladies or our babies and if you are looking for a perfect pairing, might I suggest myself and Sapphire? The only way to see if we make the perfect connection is to fill out an online application so we can meet in person. I hope you will do that, and we can meet in person soon!!
