Story
In the world of animal rescues, there are always cats who grab attention with their outgoing personalities or striking looks. But then there’s White Sox—quiet, reserved, and often overlooked. This sweet, shy cat has spent much of his life at the shelter, patiently waiting for the right person to see beyond his timid nature and recognize the loving companion he truly is. While November is Senior Pet Month, White Sox isn’t technically a senior at just 6 years old. However, in terms of his time spent at the rescue, he’s certainly a senior in that regard, having waited years for the right home. It’s hard to believe that such a young cat has spent so much of his life in the shelter, but his quiet and reserved nature has led him to be overlooked time and time again.White Sox is often described as a “gentleman” and a “peacekeeper.” He gets along with everyone in the cat room and embraces a “live and let live” philosophy. While he’s calm and friendly with other cats, he prefers to keep to himself and avoid the chaos. His ideal day includes sunbathing, a few tasty treats, and, once he’s comfortable with you, some quiet bonding time.Though he’s not fond of being held, White Sox does enjoy being petted—provided it’s done calmly and with patience. Approach him gently, and he’ll accept your affection. He also enjoys some low-energy playtime with feather toys. He’s not one for running or jumping, but he’ll happily bat at the feathers with his paws, staying relaxed and comfortable as he plays.White Sox has been adopted twice in the past, but both times he was returned. Each time, he retreated into hiding for weeks as he tried to adjust to the changes, needing more time and patience than his adopters were able to offer. But with the right home, we are sure White Sox would thrive. He’s looking for a quiet household, preferably without young children or dogs. Older, patient children (12 and up) who can respect his space would be just fine. White Sox certainly deserves a home where he can finally relax and enjoy the comfort he’s been longing for. If you think you can offer him the calm, loving environment he needs, White Sox could be the perfect addition to your family. With a little time, patience, and trust, this gentle soul will reward you with a bond that’s truly worth the wait.

Story
Hi, I'm Charlie, an adorably sweet tabby looking for my forever home. I'm equal parts lovebug and playful, though I'm a bit shy. As such, I need someone patient so that I can take my time getting to know and trust you. Once I do, I will give you my WHOLE heart, which I've been told is quite a special thing. I have snuggles to give in abundance, slow blinks aplenty, and I even throw in some little love bites when I really like you. I get along with other well-mannered cats and am ready to fill your home with love. If you're looking for the purrfect pair, my sister, Boots, is a love match ready to go and I won't leave without her! Will you be the one to give her the warmth and companionship I crave?

Story
Hey, it's Miss Meow in the house! I'm the RARE orange queen with a dash of sass – yeah, I've got personality! But this just adds to my charm...it doesn't take long to realize how special I am. Deep down, I'm all about those sweet vibes. I love to play and enjoy catnip, treats and pets. I even occasionally like a little lap cuddle. But mostly I just want a home and special human to call my own. I would need to be your one and only kitty friend as is befitting for my queenly status. I'm spayed, fully loaded on vaccinations, and microchipped. If you think you're ready to hold court with me, come by for a meet and greet and see if we are a royal match!

Hi, I'm Admiral Adorable, but you can call me Admiral or Addie, and I'm ready to jump into your heart! I'm a 1-year-old torbie (that's a tortie and tabby mix) with a coat as rare as it is beautiful. I've got a playful spirit and springs in my feet! You'll really be surprised by how high I can jump when I play with wand toys! I get along with most other cats and kittens, so if you already have a furry friend, I'm sure we'll be pals once we get to know each other. I love spending time with my people friends, too. I'm an affectionate girl, but there aren't many chances to snuggle around here. If I had a home and a person call my own, though, I think I'd really enjoy some lap time at the end of a long day...wouldn't you? I'm the last of my litter and I've been overlooked for way too long. I think the right person just hasn't found me yet! If you're ready for a beautiful, playful, loving companion who can outjump the competition, come meet me!

Story
This is onyx! She is still only a few months old and is super super playful and goofy. She also loves a good cuddle as well. Her favorite way to greet you is to crawl up on your shoulders 💗 While I have not had her around any other animals, I know she is great with kids! Even when they pull and tug at her, she always keeps her patience. She also loves any type of snack! Rehoming because my landlord will not allow me to keep her! We found her as a stray so at the time I wanted to give her a place to stay. But I want her to be able to explore and run especially while she is still young. She will come with her food and any other items we have for her!
