Story
Hello! I’m Maleficent, and I might come off a little distant at first, but I promise, I’m just taking my time to get to know you. When we first meet, I might seem a bit feisty, but that’s just because I’ve been through a lot and need to feel safe before I can let my guard down. Once I trust you, I’ll be a loyal and loving companion! I don’t really like dogs, but I’d get along great with another cat who understands my boundaries. If you’re patient and willing to let me adjust at my own pace, I’ll reward you with affection and cuddles. I just need a calm, understanding home where I can feel secure and loved. With the right person, I’ll be the perfect addition to your family!

Hi! I’m Endora, and I can be a bit cautious at first. It takes me some time to warm up to new people, and I might seem feisty when we first meet. But don’t worry—I’m just letting you know I need a little patience. Once I trust you, I’ll be super affectionate and loving! I don’t like dogs, but I’d be totally happy with another cat who respects my space. I’ve been through a lot, and while I may need some time to adjust, I promise I’m worth it. I need a calm, patient home where I can feel safe and take my time settling in. If you’re the kind of person who can give me the love and understanding I need, I’ll be the best companion you could ask for! Fill out an application to come and meet me!

Story
You can call me Lucky, but you'd be the lucky one to bring me home (: I'm a quirky girl, looking for a fun home! I'm known to be quite talkative, wanting to let everyone know how I'm feeling. They sound like growls, but my people have learned that I just do it to get the attention. I'd love for a playful home that has windows for me to watch the birds, and I could enjoy a sibling, as long as it's a slow introduction. Come say hi!

Hey, I’m Acadia! 🌟 I’m still figuring things out in this crazy world, but I’m definitely on the up-and-up. I can be a little vocal at times (blame it on the passion!), but I promise I’m making some solid progress. I love having roommates around – the energy is always interesting, and while I haven’t quite reached the cuddling stage yet, I enjoy the company and the vibes. I'm in need of a house with another cat I can run around and play with. I’m looking for someone who can give me the space to decompress, breathe, and let love grow at its own pace. Patience is key, and I’m all about learning and evolving. Let’s vibe and see where the journey takes us. ✨

Story
Hi! I’m Jack, and I’m a calm and gentle cat who enjoys the company of other laid-back kitties. I can be a little shy at first, especially in places like this shelter, but once I feel safe, I really enjoy being petted and getting attention. I may take some time to open up, but with patience and a calm environment, I know I’ll show you just how sweet and loving I can be. I’d love a home with another calm cat to keep me company, and I’m looking for a peaceful place where I can relax and truly feel at home. If you’re patient and ready to give me the time I need, I’ll reward you with all the love I have to give!

Hi, I’m Suki! I was a bit shy at first, but I’ve really started to come out of my shell. Now, I’m a calm and sweet girl who enjoys being around both humans and other cats. It might take me a little while to warm up, but once I feel comfortable, I love spending time with you or my feline friends. I’m not super outgoing, but I’m affectionate and enjoy the peaceful company of those I trust. If you’re patient and give me the time I need to settle in, I’ll be your gentle and loving companion. I can’t wait to share my calm, cozy moments with you!

Story
Flroppy was adopted st the age of 2 (approx) to be a companion for our other cat Lucky. It is a love/hate relationship as Floppy is a lover whereas Lucky tends to play more. Se has had many years in a loving home but due to a change in health, relocation and a hectic schedule, I can no longer give her the care she deserves. She is extremelynsweet and talkative. She loves to lay near your whilte gets lots of pets. She truly deserves to be with someone who can give her all the love and attention she deserves. Floppy is a very chill cat who will tell you when it is time for food. I sometimes refer to her as dutchess as she seems to annouce her arrival. Floppy is not declawed and is not a fan of having her nails trimmed. I cannot even begin to say how very difficult the decision to rehome Floppy is but due to health and relocating, there just isn't another way. Please consider Floppy as a loving edition to your family.
