Story
Hello&#44 Iandamp;#39;m Claude. Iandamp;#39;m not your average feline. My intelligence often surprises people. Iandamp;#39;ve mastered the art of opening doors&#44 something most of my fellow feline friends struggle with. I enjoy the challenge of puzzle toys and can often be found figuring out the latest contraption the humans have given me. I am a connoisseur of fine cuisine - well&#44 as fine as it gets in a shelter. I prefer the salmon pate to the chicken&#44 but Iandamp;#39;m not fussy. Life here isnandamp;#39;t bad&#44 but I dream of a home where my smarts can be put to good use. I could help you with your daily tasks&#44 keep you company during your quiet times&#44 and provide a comforting purr when you need it. I promise to be the loyal companion you need. Adopt me and letandamp;#39;s make memories together.

They call me Lumine&#44 a title I wear with pride. I am a queen of my domain&#44 a sanctuary of warm hearts and kind hands. My independence is my strength&#44 a testament to my spirit.

I am Lumine&#44 and I am waiting for someone who understands my independence&#44 respects my moods&#44 and cherishes the moments of affection I offer.

Benji is a very sweet boy. He loves snuggling especially at night and loves belly rubs. He is great with dogs but is becoming unhappy around my other cat. He would prefer to be the only cat but doesn't mind dogs at all. He is shy at first but comes around easily. He loves meal time and will try to be fed at all times of the day.

Story
I’m looking for a loving home for my two cats, Mewo (black) and Artemis (grey), both 1 year old. Due to a move, I’m unable to take them with me, and it breaks my heart to have to part with them. Mewo is a shy, sweet cat who has some trauma from a past owner. He’s very bonded to his brother, Artemis, and feels safest with him. Artemis is more outgoing, but still a bit skittish. He loves cuddles and is a calming presence for Mewo. Both are affectionate once they trust, but they do not get along with dogs or young children. They need a quiet, patient home where they can stay together and thrive. If you’re looking for two loving, gentle cats who need each other, please consider adopting them. They are so special, and I just want them to go to the best home possible. Thank you for considering them!

Story
Lightning is a former outdoor cat brought inside over 1.5 years ago. He is an older gentleman at almost 13 years old (2/10) but he still has quite a bit of spunk in in his step. He loves bouncing around the room and chasing his tail. Lightning was neglected by a former owner and walks with a slight limp on his left side. He would appreciate a quiet home with no dogs or other cats and a patient owner who will let him snuggle with you on his own terms. **Lightning is neutered, FIV/FeLV/HW negative and is UTD on all vaccines until September 2026. He has no known health issues at this time.**

Story
About 3 years ago, this sweet boy showed up on our back porch and never left. When I tell you Goldfish is the sweetest and most loyal cat ive ever met, i mean it. When i work 12 hour shifts, he greets me outside in the morning at the same time everyday, and greets me when I come home (he somehow knows what my car sounds like). It hurts to know that I have to rehome this sweet boy, but Im confident that i’ll find someone who’s able to love and care for him the way he deserves. He’s currently an outdoor cat, who would love to be indoors (we sometimes have trouble putting him back outside). I so badly wish I could keep him, but due to my circumstances, I’d rather rehome him to a place he deserves.

Story
Mochi is a sweet chonk of a girl, mostly white fur with patches of calico coloring. She is a low effort, laid back kitty. She likes to hang out, explore, nap, and cuddle. Good with other cats, adults, teens, and dogs. Has not yet met small children. My family were fostering her for an extended family member, until they could get a better housing situation, but their circumstance has changed and they are unable to take her back. Our family has known her for most of her life, so we're trying to find her a new loving home. Size: 13+ Pounds Health: Our vet gave her a clean bill of health and her vaccines are all up to date. She is good about being picked up, easy to handle, easy to put into carriers. She is overweight, so may need exercise, or scheduled meal times. She will need to go with someone who has patience for transitioning to a new home, as she did get stressed initially by coming to live with us. We are asking for $50 adoption fee to help with vet/vax cost
