Story

Sadie is an approximately 2.5-year-old, solid black kitty with pale green eyes. She's an attention-seeking girl with a wonderful personality. While all the other kitties are gobbling up their treats, Sadie is practically doing somersaults to get noticed by our volunteers! She just wants some lovin'. She'll jump onto a nearby shelf and nudge your hand for head and chin scratches. Since we trapped Sadie was in a cat colony, one of her ears is tipped. The plan was to release her back, but she was so friendly we decided to adopt out this lovable kitty. She gets along very well with other cats and would do fine with a small dog. The ideal home would be one with someone who can furnish her with the love and attention she longs for. We would prefer someone who works remotely from home, or a mature person or couple who can a provide a quiet environment to give her the time she needs to adjust. She would be comfortable with older kids, but no small children. If interested in meeting Sadie, contact us to set up a meet and greet.

Story

Introducing Kahlua, a charming 3-year-old boy in search of his forever home. This tawny-colored sweetheart is incredibly affectionate. One of his favorite ways to show his love is to stand on his hind legs and give hugs to his foster parents. He enjoys sprawling out on their desks and keyboards for attention while they work from home. Afterward, Kahlua finds comfort on the back of the couch, curling up for a peaceful snooze. Kahlua would thrive in a quiet and calm home without children or cats, where he can be the center of attention. While he may not become best friends with a dog, he can certainly coexist with a small or medium-sized canine companion as long as he has his personal space. If you're seeking a cuddle bug and lap cat, Kahlua is the perfect match. Don't miss out on the opportunity to meet and greet him - let us know if you're interested!

Story

Meet Ugly Betty! I discovered her abandoned under my car when she was just 4 weeks old. I named her Betty because my wife thought she was ugly, but I believe that true beauty lies within, not just on the outside. Betty is the last of five siblings; I initially found three but was only able to save one. My intention has always been to find a new home for Betty, but it's been challenging. It seems that no one is interested in adopting an average kitty like her. If you look beyond the surface, you’ll truly appreciate how precious Betty is. She has so much love to give and a unique personality that shines brightly!

Moon and Amani

Details

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I took in twins Moon and Amani when they were 5 weeks old along with their mother because their previous owner moved out of the country and could not take them. I already have 1 cat with special needs and the 4 of them together was too much for me to handle after losing my job. Their mother has since been reunited with her owner, but they weren’t able to take back the twins. I tried for several months to make it work with 3 cats, but they would be better off in a home that can love them they way they deserve. Moon and Amani are extremely codependent on each other and they need to be rehomed together. They are 10 months old and have their rabies shot and got spayed 2 months ago. Moon is a very sweet and playful cat that loves cuddles and naps on the couch. She would be a perfect addition for someone that works from home and can give her the love and attention she needs. Amani is more reserved than her sister but still loves cuddles, looking out the window, and playtime.

Story

He is just over 1 year old, and was adopted from the SPCA. He is an incredibly sweet natured cat but our dogs unfortunately refuse to acclimate to him. He has shown no issue with the dogs, so I believe he would do just fine with dogs who are comfortable with cats. He is also good with kids. He’s a wonderful boy, we just want him to fully be apart of a family.
