Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Little Bit. She is a very shy, scared little girl who came from a traumatic situation. Little Bit was a gift for a little girl who was not taught to respect boundaries, therefore she needs to be in a home with no children. Little Bit's owner passed away, and she was there with her for quite some time before being discovered. After that, she was left all alone in the house for quite some time, where family members would stop by every few days to put out food and water for her. This went on for months, and this poor kitty became very withdrawn and frightened. Little Bit has been with her foster family for many months, and they have worked long and hard to earn her trust. Unfortunately, she has not quite reached her full potential as the loving kitty she so badly wants to be because she is terribly afraid of the other cats in the home. When there are no other cats around, her foster family is able to pet her and play with her. Little Bit needs a quiet home with no children or cats and her new person with the patience to slowly gain her trust. She wants so badly to be with her person for cuddles and playtime and the love she so deserves. When she allows herself to show through the shyness, she is quite the silly and clumsy c noharacter. She loves to drink from the faucet and is always interested in sampling a bite of whatever you are eating. Adopting her will be a commitment to patience and understanding, so please ensure you are willing to give her that in order to avoid further traumatizing her with multiple relocations. Once she learns to trust you, she will most certainly be the most lovable, loyal companion you can imagine.November 6, 2024, 8:16 am

Declawed, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Introducing this senior bonded pair of siblings. Mae and Henry. Both are around 14 to 15yrs old. They both are front declawed. Mae is sweet and will warm up quickly to her new family. She loves to be petted and loved on. She only likes to be held a very short time. Mae loves to give you a message with her paws. She loves a fuzzy blanket that she can sleep under. Henry ( orange & white) is very shy and will take awhile to warm up to his new family. He loves to be petted and loved on but does not like to be picked up. He enjoys finding a quite place he can hide and sleep. Henry will warm up faster in his new home with Temptation treats. He loves them and will often come out from hiding to get them. They both would love a quite home to enjoy the rest of their senior years together. They both enjoy sleeping , eating and just relaxing. They will be curious in their new home and will explore it. Both are very calm and enjoying watching everything going on around them rather then joining in. Mae and Henry will do best in a home with a older calmer cat rather then a young one. They do not care for dogs unless they leave them alone. Both have excellent litter box manners.November 6, 2024, 8:16 am

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sweet, very playful, and constantly purring. Never scratches or bites. Loves being brushed. Born May 2018. She's very communicative and intelligent, soft, loves sleeping in baskets and sunspots. Likes a scheduled, simple life with a consistent bedtime and meals. Obsessed with munching grass in the yard (we used a leash). Hates mess and clutter, prefers very clean environment. Big personality. We adopted Pumpkin (our "Baby Girl") in 2019 after she was returned twice to the shelter by other families. she struggles to use the litter box correctly when stressed and needs a very clean and consistent environment, and access to outside regularly, which we're unable to provide. She pees on the carpet, but shows guilt. Would be a great indoor/outdoor cat, but our situation doesn't allow for that currently. I believe she just needs the right environment and she'll do fine, we just can't give it to her. She's a very special cat and I'm heartbroken to lose such a sweet and kind friend.

Story
Nala has been with families that locked her in a room and neglected her. She has severe separation anxiety and needs someone who will be with her most of the day. Nala does know how to use the litter box but sometimes pees outside of it. I believe she needs someone who can clean her litter box daily and have more than one. She is very sweet and cuddly. She loves to play with feather toys and scratchers. Her favorite thing to do is to sit in the window sill or sit on the balcony.

Story
Mike may have one less eye than most kitties, but that doesn’t slow him down one bit! He’s about a year old and FULL of energy. In another life this little 1 year old fella must have been a football player, because he loves to sprint across the house like he’s going for a touchdown or tackle a dog five times his size! Don’t let his rough and tumble play fool you though, he’s an undercover lover boy who gives kisses, cuddles, and asks to be picked up (when he’s resting from the metaphorical football practice). He gets along best with playful pups, or an equally spirited cat. Only reason for urgent rehoming is the owner has health issues preventing them from giving the care he deserves. Please consider adding this silly boy to your crew, there’ll never be a dull moment!
