Story
Biscuit is a 4 yo neutered ginger male. He loves being around his people. He is happiest sleeping in your bed and getting belly rubs. He uses a scratcher and litter box without issue. Prefers kibble and a small amount of wet food. He is inquisitive and likes to play but is always down for a good nap. We have found that he prefers to be the only cat in the home so he can have all the attention. He would be great with a family that has kids or as a devoted companion to an adult/couple or elderly owner.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Please meet Sunny! He was found on a very cold day in January 2023 covered in fleas and completely emaciated. He was so thankful for food in his belly and a warm place to sleep that he purred nonstop for days! He can get playful with the laser pointer, however, he is mostly over the kitten craziness. He loves to look outside in between naps and snacks. He does well with dogs and kids that respect his space. He has impeccable litter box skills. Sunny is so very loved at his foster home, but he is so very deserving of his forever home. Sunny is positive for Feline Leukemia (FeLV), which means he needs to be the only cat or live in a FeLV+ house only. Please contact us if you have questions about Feline Leukemia.

Story
I was left outside to fend for myself. I had an abcess on my neck and I didn't feel very good when I was rescued. It is now healed up and I am a pretty happy, healthy guy. I really like guys. Everyone that sees me says that I am a "cool" cat. I love head rubs and people pick me up and hold me like a baby. I don't want to be messed with all the time, but I do love attention. I am playful but not crazy. So, if you are looking for a really neat cat, here I am. If you want to adopt me, here is a link to apply https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/POMH-A-1376

Story
*UPDATE-she might be pregnant. We aren’t sure yet. Karma’s journey started as a stray, but she quickly discovered the comfort of human kindness, and now, she’s ready to share her love with a new family. At first glance, Karma might seem a bit shy, but don’t let her timidity fool you. Beneath her soft, quiet demeanor lies a truly affectionate soul who is simply waiting for a loving hand to guide her out of her shell. This little lady has a fondness for fuzzy balls. When Karma isn’t engaged in a playful chase, you’ll find her quietly observing the world around her, those big, expressive eyes soaking in every detail. Karma would thrive in a quiet home where she can receive plenty of attention and affection, although she is use to a loud house! She’s litter-trained, healthy, and ready to find a caring family who can provide her with a peaceful space to call her own. If you have young children or other cats, Karma could be the perfect addition, as she’s friendly and gentle with both!
