Story
This is Boe. He is the most sweetest loving cat and will purr and lay on top of you all night long. Loves to snuggle and is very patient with kids. He doesn’t get along with other cats in the house so needs to be an only cat. He has a cute little broken tail at the tip but it doesn’t hurt him at all. He sometimes looks a little cross eyed which makes him so much cuter. He is so deserving of all the love and pets and treats!

OJ is such a sweetheart and loves to lay right by your feet to protect you at nights. He is very food motivated and will wake you up for food! This orange lover will purr constantly when petting him. He’s about to turn 5 years old. His little meow is the cutest thing and he is always following you to see what you are up to.

Story
Slinky is a 3 year old cuddle buddy that adores being around people and pets. We got him as a kitten from a litter that a friend’s feral cat had. We are looking for someone who genuinely loves and adores cats as he enjoys cuddling and following around his human. He can be pretty vocal but only when he’s hungry.

I have 7 kittens that were born between 9/15/24 and 9/16/24. 4 females, 3 males. They are weaned and eating dry kitten food. They are all litter box trained. They are ready for new homes, ASAP. The adoption fee is only being asked to cover my cost for food. I am negotiable on the price. I just need new homes for them.

Story
Ginny is the sweetest most perfect cat you will ever meet, we took her in when her human sadly passed from covid. Ginny deserves someone that can give her all the attention and pets she needs, preferably that she be the only cat/pet in the house, she gets allong with other cats but sadly she ends up being bullied or taken advantage of. She loves soft blankets, comes for cuddles, doesnt scratch where she is not supposed to and she is very soft. I love her but I think she deserves someone better than us, that can spoil her and be her only focus, my husband has 2 other cats and i have a dog wich chases her and she just stress about. She is a very independent girl wich I identify with, she has never ever go to the bathroom in the wrong place and if there is something wrong with it she will let you know.
