Story
Aesir + Golden Paw | Bonded | FELV+ Born May 2016 Aesir and golden paw are a bonded pair of cats who must be adopted together; they have a lot of love to give. Golden Paw is the more outgoing one who loves to rub up against your legs repeatedly for attention and pets. Golden Paw presents as a cat that has cerebellar hypoplasia. His balance is slightly affected so it gives him a unique way of navigating life. He doesn't let it stop him from playing or jumping and he still goes nuts over catnip toys. Golden Paw loves to play with Aesir and is great at helping her build her confidence. Aesir is a little more reserved but loves to be held; she bakes the tiniest biscuits when comfortable. After extensive dental work, Aesir's tongue hangs out, a super cute side effect! Aesir and Golden Paw both tested positive for feline leukemia (FeLV+), meaning they need to be the only cats in the home or with other FeLV+ cats. Already have FeLV- cats - tell your share them with your friends & help find them a loving home!

Story
Meet Emma Pearl! Emma is about 1 year old and was found starving and abused in a busy restaurant parking lot. There was a group of young teens that were kicking her around trying to get her to leave the premises. The restaurant owner said that she had been there for a couple of weeks begging and searching for food. A good Samaritan took her in because she couldn't let her continue to be abused. The kitty was nervous at first but quickly warmed up.Emma has a strong personality. She is very playful and affectionate. She is constantly poking at the other cats (she has 3 older cats in her foster home) even if she knows she's going to receive a grumpy reaction back. She is curious, a little feisty, and playful. She wants to be with nonstop company. It's almost like she has magical powers. Even if she's nowhere in sight, she can be at any place by your side within seconds. She wants to be with you so much so, that when she sees us leaving the house, she runs to the car and tries to get in with us! She is full of love and craves affection and attention. Because of her life on the streets, she can be found searching for food often. Do not, we repeat, do not leave food unattended. She will help herself. From her abuse, she is also dealing with trust issues on occasion. She can be snappy if she is petted in the wrong spot, so please be patient with her. To everyone’s surprise, Ms Pearl was pregnan! She was so thin at the time, no one could tell. She had her kittens within 4 weeks of her rescue. She delivered the kittens like a champ and was a great momma to her babies. The funny picture of her sitting on the couch was taken two days before she delivered. All of her babies have been adopted and now it’s time for Emma Pearl to get her own forever home!Emma Pearl has lots of love to give and is a terrific cat.

Story
Meet Leo! Leo is a 7.5 year old white short haired cat. He is a big boy, but does not over eat. He is shy, but curious and usually stays a good distance away from any commotion. He is happy to please as long as he has a comfy place to lay and fresh water. He loves treats. He tolerates children and will usually remove himself from them. He does get scared easily. Leo had a teeth cleaning in October 2020. Unfortunately, his vet closed about six months ago and we do not get have those records He is allergic to Revolution Plus, but the regular Revolution is fine for him. Leo is neutered. Leo’s sister Lucy is also up for adoption. While they do not have to stay together, if you are looking for a beautiful duo, look no further!
