Story
Ozzie is a very shy and quiet cat that loves to be loved, and would likely do best in a one animal home where he can get all the attention without having to compete with other pets for affection. He’s particularly about clean litter and would like to have his litter cleaned daily. He’s always been an indoor cat and would not likely do well outside at all. His main issue is that he will spray furniture and clothes (if left out), but this is a lot better if his litter is kept clean. I am hopeful that if he is the only pet in the household that he would be less inclined to spray, since he hopefully would not feel the need to mark territory.

Story
We think Sally was born around 2017. Meet Sally! This friendly, confident girl excels at her job as an assistant to her foster mom. From following her from room to room, to sitting by her for hours, contentedly gazing out the window, to asking for more ear rubs, she’s a fabulous coworker. Did someone say perfect? Sally doesn’t travel solo. Her constant companion is the ruggedly handsome Penn. Sally and Penn are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. Sally does have one firm requirement: no dogs, please! She was once attacked by a dog and prefers to avoid them. In her spare time, Sally enjoys playing with her collection of catnip mice, cuddling with the other foster cats, and deep philosophical discussions with her bestie Penn. We were notified by a good Samaritan that Sally & Penn were left behind when their owners were evicted. Our hearts went out to these senior kitties. We did have these two fully vetted - they even had a full dental. They tested negative on their FIV/FELV tests. What do you say? Are you ready to welcome these loving cats into your home? Fill out that application today. As it states below, application required and we do deliver kitties to their new homes. We do everything we can do to find purrfect homes for our kitties. $100 adoption fee. Hardest part of rescue is: - Not being able to save every cat. - Finding excellent homes for our rescues.

Story
DOB 4/15/24 Look at this handsome, demure boy in his gray tuxedo! Tax can be a bit shy at first, but once he knows you, the real Tax emerges. This goofy boy likes to talk, will beg to be picked up and held, and gives soft head butts when he wants attention. He’s even good about nail trims. Like any teen boy, he has a big appetite and loves to hang with his friends. When he’s not playing race track with his siblings, he entertains himself by carrying his favorite spring toy around the house or cuddling with his foster mom’s dogs. At night, you’ll find him sleeping in bed with his favorite human. Tax is bonded with his brother Levi and needs to be adopted with him. They’ll entertain you for hours with their antics. Do Tax and Levi sound like the perfect duo for you? Ask to meet them soon. They’ll be waiting for you. -$125 adoption fee per kitten.

Meet Taco, a stunning 4-year-old tortoiseshell with a shy personality and quirky charm! This low-maintenance queen loves perching up high (the fridge is her favorite spot), drinking fresh water from the sink, and enjoying attention on her own terms. Taco has been both an indoor and outdoor cat and would be thrilled to have safe outdoor access again. She’s independent and we think would thrive/be happiest as the only pet in the home. Unfortunately, she’s not getting along with our other animals and we think it’s best to find her a better fit. Only serious inquiries please. My children are hoping whoever adopts her will send pictures.
