Story
This pretty girl is Levi! She arrived from an unfortunate hoarding situation, so she can be a little nervous as she`s not used to a human centric world. Don`t let her shy nature fool you though, Levi is a huge sweetheart! She warms up quickly with a little petting or quiet conversation and she enjoys relaxing near her people! Levi might have had a bit of a rough start to her life, but she`s bright and happy and ready to move on to her next chapter! Levi can be fearful and a little more on the independent side, preferring to spend time with her sister, Jewels, or by herself. So she might need some extra time to settle in, a home with older kids that can give her space when needed, and a patient but understanding adopter that will accept her for who she is! f you have a quiet home in need of a little love but aren`t looking for a super needy companion, then come meet Levi today and bring your new best friend home! She also gets along with other cats!

Story
Meet Morris, a former feral feline who has transformed into a friendly, curious, and gentle soul! Despite his shy nature, he`s a mellow companion who enjoys exploring his surroundings with a sweet and smart disposition. He`s also a cuddly confidant, always ready to curl up next to you for a warm nap or a quiet moment. Morris`s intelligence shines through in his quick learning and adaptability.

This disease is not curable, but he can still live a very long and healthy life! FIV is transmitted through deep bite wounds and is unlikely to be spread through sharing of water bowls or other close contact. Friendly cats who develop stable relationships without fighting are at minimal risk of transmission, so slow introductions are highly recommended!

Story
I got Bonnie in 2021 and have been with her since. Shes a sweet cat that loves attention. She can be a bit rough when playing but if you give her a little kick toy she'll be okay. She's about 3-4 years old and needs more attention than I can give her. I moved in with my gf and she has 4 other cats. Bonnie has not got along with them and it's been about 5 months without her getting any better. Id just like her to be with a family that can give her the love and attention she deserves instead of being locked in a room all day. She's feisty and sassy all the time. Very chatty as well! She loves climbing around and exploring once she gets comfortable. She can be skiddish at first and definitely will try to scratch EVERYTHING.

Story
10 month old bonded pair siblings. Male and female. Both were adopted from Detroit Alley Cats (and I even met their birth mom too!) Very active kittens and they really depend on each other for emotional support and play. I believe they will be perfect for a home with structured routine, also with children (as they really respond great with them) and lots of room for zoomies. Words to describe them: cute, energetic, quirky, spoiled lol Adoption comes with 2 medium sized cat trees, 2 litter boxes, travel crate, food bowls, food/water dispensers, cat water fountain, 2 pet beds, assorted toys including teasers, springs, balls, and a laser pen
