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
This is Jackie! I adopted Jackie from the animal shelter and thought she’d be a good fit for our home. I had asked if she was good with cats, which was at the time unknown. I’ve spent a good while trying to acclimate her with our other two female cats, but to no avail. She would be best suited in an only cat home. Jackie however is such a sweet kitty. She’s a little over a year old and loves to play and cuddle. She loves attention, she’s a vocal kitty, and she likes to explore. She’s very smart and likes to give kisses and likes to be booped on the nose. I would love to find someone who wants to add a love bug black kitty into their life.

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?
