Story
This kitty was a stray who we took in and fostered due to her having multiple litters of kittens in my neighbor’s shed. We got her fixed and rehomed all of her kittens. We are now looking for a forever home for her too. She is very sweet and likes other cats. A little shy, but will warm up once she gets boto know you.

Story
Mister was left on the porch of our local cat rescue with his brother Tabby. Unfortunately the rescue shut down earlier this summer and is looking for a forever home for this bonded pair. They have been housed with other cats, but have not bonded with them as much as we had hoped for, so we are not sure how they would be in a home with other cats. Mister loves to be petted and is even young enough to get the zoomies now and then. Tabby and Mister also do like to play with each other from time to time. Even though we don't know much about their lives before they were dropped off we know that they deserve the best home possible to make the rest of their lives wonderful. If you are interested in adopting this bonded pair please complete the application process.

Story
Momma Kitty was a neighborhood stray who had been abandoned by a previous owner. Current owner & neighbors all fed her. Current owner brought her inside when she noticed she was sick. Elderly owner now has dementia and has been hospitalized/assisted living care since Jan 2024. Current caretakers & vet have addressed all her major health issues BUT she is a special needs kitty because she has feline leukemia, so she can't be in a home with other cats. She has gone from 5 lbs in Jan to 11 lbs in Oct. She is not on any medications at this time. Is on Hills Prescription Digestive Care cat food. She may not need it any longer as she did have some other issues which are no longer present. There are 14 cats left behind in less than ideal conditions. We are working on rehoming the others, but Momma Kitty is the most loving of all the cats; she would rather petted than eat. She is a sweet talker & playful. Current caretaker has full power of attorney for adoption purposes

Story
Meowth is 9 years old. He had been in a home with a dog but it’s been a long time. He gets along with other cats. He is very shy at first but once he is comfortable he is a complete bundle of love. He is in good health, loves to play and lounge around. He is a sweetheart. It breaks my heart to have to rehome him and my other cat but I am unable to keep them anymore. He is great with his litter box, no accidents ever. He is and always has been an indoor only cat. He is a wonderful companion. Meowth is a big cat, not main coon big but bigger than most cats.
