Don't you just love tuxedo kitties?! This is Mia, who is available for adoption. She's a true Tuxedo with her shiny black and white coat, white socks, little white stripe, and the most adorable black heart on her nose. Mia is about a year and 6 months old. She's loving and playful but is very much independent. Mia is used to living in her foster home with two small dogs and two other cats but would prefer to be the only pet in the household. She would also do better with older kids. Contact us if you're interested in a meet and greet with Mia.

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
Hello, my name is Inky, I'm a striking black cat ready to cast a spell on your heart. At 3 1/2 years old, I bring a perfect blend of grace, charm, and affection to any home. My luxurious sleek black coat has a white spot on my chest and flecks of white sprinkled throughout make me irresistible to pet. I embody the mysterious allure often associated with black cats. While I may appear slightly reserved at first, beneath my sleek exterior lies a gentle and loving soul. I thrive on quiet moments, enjoying the soft purrs and gentle strokes that come with companionship. I am a bit of a goofball. I love to hang upside down on the cat tree trying to seek attention. And it always works, who can resist my gorgeous green eyes? I am frequently hanging out, observing the comings and goings high up on a shelf. I love treats and playing with toys, especially ones with catnip. I also like being the center of attention when visitors come, especially adults or older kids. I'm searching for a tranquil and loving environment where I can be the shining star of your home. If you're looking for a sophisticated and low-maintenance companion, I'm the one for you. I wouldn't mind the company of another cat or a small dog that behaves. if you're interested in meeting Inky, contact us for 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
I took in twins Moon, Amani and their mother at 5 weeks old 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. 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.
