Story
Tupac is a loveable one-year-old who refuses to leave your side at night. He absolutely needs some cuddles at night, or he will be sad. Tupac is not an avid cuddler in the daytime, but he will have his moments until he completely quits and starts running around. He will vocally "talk" with you and express concern for mealtimes, a dirty litter box, and any attention he is not receiving. He is the friendliest cat ever and will greet strangers and your friends who visit. My favorite moment is when I adopted him from a local shelter where he wouldn't stop "talking" to me until I brought him home. The best part about him is any ball or small toy you throw for him to chase he will bring right back. Tupac is a very playful young kitty who loves quality time above everything else.

Story
He was rehomed to me late July 2024 with another cat. Prior owner said he does okay with small dogs, but neither of us has exposed him to larger dogs. He has only been an indoor kitty. He was previously living in a basement, with access to only one window to look out. He currently lives in an apartment with access to balcony deck, that he enjoys going out on. Not de-clawed. He had a vet checkup in September 2024 for being sneezy and was given some medication. He only sneezes once in awhile, otherwise vet said he is healthy! He is on a grain-free diet. He uses his litter box and likes it kept clean. He is skittish at first and will find somewhere to hide until he feels comfortable. It will take some time to warm up to you, but treats help to build trust! Once he does, he will snuggle up with you at night/early morning, while he makes biscuits. It's very important that he goes to someone who can give him daily attention. You'll need to interact, give pettings and have playtime with him

She loves attention and cuddles and will happily share with her sister Caitlyn! She will meow for love and happily shows her love for food with her grumble purr while eating wet food.

Story
Ava is a bold, independent spirit who knows exactly what she wants. Having come from a tough past, she’s still learning that people can be kind, and each day she’s warming more and more. She has a big personality and when she’s nervous, she’s not afraid to let you know she needs her space, but a favorite in her foster home, her foster dad says she’s the perfect little sour patch kid – first she’s sour, then she’s oh so sweet! Once she knows she’s safe with you, this little girl is all head-butts, purrs, and biscuit making. With a patient and loving family, Ava will continue to build her confidence and blossom into a brave, sassy princess. Could you be her happily ever after? **Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our animals!

Story
Persephone is a beautiful cream-colored cat with one green eye and one blue eye. She is absolutely terrified of the shelter environment. She and her sister Styx originally came from a closed animal shelter in Kansas and were adopted together 4 years ago. Both girls were returned to us when their human moved in with a family full of allergies. After a few years in her previous home, she refused all human contact. She came to us seriously matted and angry. After a full haircut, she looks much better but is still terrified and scared. The shelter is not a good placement for her, but we are doing our best. She and her sister will need the most patience of any cat we have seen in quite some time.  The adoption fee is $125 + tax and covers age-appropriate vaccines, a microchip, and a spay/neuter. The adoption fee helps cover the cost of these vetting procedures. Persephone is bonded to Styx and they must be adopted together. Please note, that we do NOT allow the declawing of any cat or kitten we adopt unless deemed medically necessary.  We will gladly provide you with alternative methods of managing cats with claws. We're open from 12-4 PM every day EXCEPT Wednesday! Did you know you don't need to have an appointment to visit our available cats and dogs***?

Story
Miss Kitty is an 8-year-old beauty who came to us when her human had a change in living status. We are working on building her trust, but she is not receptive to most advances.  She has taken up residence in our kitchen and is usually found on top of the fridge or in a cabinet. This silly girl is looking for a patient home that is willing to work with her at her pace. The shelter isn't a good fit for her. Her person said she was slow to warm up, but after 6 months in the shelter she is still giving the cold shoulder. Her box of choice is very accurate. Brat instead of Brats! The adoption fee is $125 + tax and covers age-appropriate vaccines, a microchip, and a spay/neuter. The adoption fee helps cover the cost of these vetting procedures.  Please note, we do NOT allow declawing of any cat or kitten that we adopt out, unless deemed medically necessary.  We will gladly provide you with alternative methods of managing cats with claws.

Ralph is a great cat. He is snuggly and playful when he gets comfortable, but he is a scaredy cat that will need time to adjust. We're having trouble with him peeing on the dog beds and any laundry left on the floor and our attempts to get this behavior to stop hasn't worked, so we are looking to re-home him. Maybe someone with more experience or fewer cats can correct this.

Oscar is such a sweet boy. He loves to cuddle and rub his face on yours. He enjoys laying on the back of the couch and resting his legs over your shoulder. I love him so much. I need for him to have a good home. I can't keep him because my grandson is extremely allergic. I know he will make a great addition to your family.
