Story
This kitten has just arrived! They have come to us on transport from a shelter partner, were found as stray, or surrendered to our care. When kittens arrive to us we are typically unsure of their full background, litter box habits, how they are with handling, or how much socialization with humans/animals they have received. Kittens require a significant amount of patience and training to learn how to behave properly in a home. The first few months of having a kitten is a critical time to improve socialization and help your kitten become confident. Exposing your kitten to all kinds of touch, sounds, people, and animals can ensure a well-socialized adult cat. Remember, kittens aren’t born knowing how to live in a human’s world, it is up to you to teach them how to make good decisions in a positive and caring manner. The more positive interactions they have in their first year of life will set them up for better behavior in the future. If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific cat but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! We may require all household members, including children, to come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story
Gravy is a beautiful 2-year-old indoor-only girl with a loving, vocal personality and a wonderful temperament. She enjoys her independence at times and may hide away for quiet moments, but if you call her for cuddles, pets, or dinner, she’ll come running fast. She truly loves affection, playtime, and sleeping in bed with her person. Gravy is playful and affectionate, and while she can be a little rough during play fighting with her sisters, it’s only because she’s a very solid girl with lots of playful energy. She has a stunning, unique coat color and a presence that’s impossible not to love. She would do best in a home with two additional cats or fewer so she doesn’t feel overwhelmed. Gravy is not spayed yet and will need to be spayed and get a general vet checkup ASAP. Please be sure you can do this & are looking for a forever cat. If you’re looking for a loving, playful, cuddly companion with personality and beauty, Gravy is an amazing choice and will love you lots:) 🐾💛

Story
Rin is truly one of a kind. He is a deeply loving, emotionally intuitive boy who gives the sweetest comfort when I cry, he literally hugs my neck like a person or cuddles me until I calm down. He’s good being held. He is gentle, quiet, affectionate, and bonds very closely with his person. Once he feels safe, he becomes the best companion you could ever ask for. Rin does best as a single cat, or possibly with one spayed female only. He has had stress-related peeing when housed with a lot of cats and gets physically sick from high stress. He would likely do well with other cats if he is neutered, but right now he needs a low-stress home to thrive. He is scared of dogs and is indoor-only, no exceptions. He enjoys quiet time, cuddles, and occasional play. Rin is about 3 yrs old. Rehoming him is devastating for us, but it is the most loving and ethical choice for his happiness right now. So please if you choose to take him, be sure you can take care of his needs and keep him safe & loved.

Story
Soul will be your little shadow& your most loyal companion. In the right home, with fewer cats and more space, he will truly blossom into the single-brain-cell orange boy he was always meant to be. He is extremely loving, deeply cuddly, and just radiates warmth & sweetness. He will happily follow you at your feet for affection if you let him and loves being close to his person. Hes such a good boy! Soul is indoor-only & has always lived inside. Please don’t apply if you want an outside cat. He is used to dry food & does great on it, but absolutely loves wet food as a special treat. He tries to mind his own business and does not like to fight, but he will defend himself, so it’s best that he is not placed with other dominant male cats. **He is not fixed and must be neutered ASAP, along with getting a general checkup. **He currently has a healing cut on his neck that we have already treated. It is healing well, but his new family should continue to monitor it until it’s fully healed.
