Story
Earp is a very sweet, loving, and playful kitten. (Approximately 5 months old) We absolutely love his personality, but we are struggling with a marking issue. We have tried everything from multiple litter boxes, addressing possible health issues, neutering, and pheromone sprays. Unfortunately, the marking still continues, and I believe it might be due to the multi cat household we have. Currently, we are trying diapers to stop the pee from ruining the house while we find him a new home. I think an only cat household would fix the problem since there would be no territory issues at that point. Earp loves dogs, loves our toddler, and loves any attention you will give him. We are sorry to have to let him go, but hope he finds the perfect place!

Story
Hi there! My name is Baloo, and I’m a 3-month-old bundle of joy with a fluffy tail and eyes full of wonder. I’m the perfect mix of playful and sweet—always ready for a game of chase or pounce, but equally eager for snuggles when playtime’s done. I love to explore every nook and cranny, turning the simplest toy into my new favorite adventure. My gentle purrs fill the room as soon as I'm cradled in loving arms because, deep down, I’m a soft-hearted little guy who thrives on cuddles and affection. Notes from Foster Mom: "Baloo is truly special. His sweet disposition makes him a joy to have around, and his playful antics bring endless smiles. He’s always quick to please and loves being close to people, making him the perfect companion. Whether he’s chasing a feather or curling up on my lap for a nap, Baloo’s warm personality shines through. He will steal your heart in no time."

Story
Duchess' Story: Duchess was dumped when her previous owners discovered she was pregnant. She lived on the streets for 3 years but somehow kept her sweet nature. She delivered that 1st litter two years ago and two more in 2024 (February & August). We were able to trap/rehab the February litter so they could be adopted, and the summer litter was born in-house. Our intent was to keep Duchess and give her a good home. She certainly deserves it. However, as a result of her time on the streets, she does not do well with dogs, and we have two. Duchess has a rear leg that has been broken at some point in her life and it has healed but was never properly set. She has a limp but has adjusted and does well. She is healthy, social and very loving. The last of her babies have been adopted and she just needs a hero with a home where she'll be loved and cared for. Won't you consider being her hero?

Story
My cat, a beautiful gray feline with stunning green eyes, has been a loyal and loving companion to me for quite some time. However, due to recent changes in my schedule and commitments, I find myself struggling to dedicate the time and attention that he deserves. It breaks my heart to admit that I am unable to provide him with the care and affection that he needs to thrive. With a heavy heart a matter that has been weighing on my mind for some time now. As much as it pains me to say this, I have come to the difficult decision to seek a new home for my beloved cat. I want to ensure that my cat is placed in a loving and nurturing environment where he will be cherished and cared for the way he deserves. I believe that finding a new home where he will receive the love and attention he needs is in his best interest, and hoping that someone may be able to assist me in this difficult process and love him. I am hopeful to find him a loving and caring home.

Story
Mr. Sherlock is great cat and hes in need of his next forever home. I adopted him from Quebec shelter when he was 1. Its been great 10 years but unfortunately we both have recently got medicals that have become too costly. I want the best for him, hes such a great and fun cat. Super smart, loves to talk and be affectionate. Loves to play his purr is quiet/felt. He doesnt hiss or ever get angry. He just loves cuddling up with you and taking naps. Hes afraid of storms and usually hides. Loud sounds like thunder make him nervous. Hes got a UTI condition. Ive taken care of it twice but he still needs the perm surgery that I cant afford. I feed him a special wet food diet because of this. But between the need for surgery, his food cost and my own medical needs I can no longer afford to give him the best. :/ Ill be moving in December and would like to find him a great new home that understands this. The ideal is hes a single cat home for his food issues unless you know what to do

Story
We bought Homer about six years ago. He is a cuddly cat and very loving to his owners. We want him to go to a wonderful home. However, since my pregnancy he started to have a lot of anxiety. We are worried that with a baby his anxiety will only heighten. We think he needs a more peaceful home with a lot of attention. Something we can not give to him at this time in our lives. We are so sad that it has come to this. However, we have tried everything and have high hopes we can find a good fit. Please reach out if you are interested in this adorable and cuddly kitty.
