Story
Crumbles wears her heart on her side for all to see. She is such pretty girl! Curious and sweet, she is sure to win your heart. She does not like to be held for long but is making slow progress & working on that with her foster family. She loves her cat toy wands and mice but isn’t a fan of most treats. She loves to see what her foster family is up to, and her presence always lights up a room. She does ok with good dogs and ok with other nice cats. Crumbles will shy away from her siblings if they play too hard for her taste. She would do best with being paired well in a super sweet cat home to avoid her potentially being bullied. She would also do well in a single cat family. Home is where her heart is and Crumbles is waiting for her forever one! rh

Story
Meet Biscuit, a handsome, young, male sweetheart looking for his forever home! He is great with “good dogs” and other cats. Biscuit is very respectful of the old man of the foster house, a 22 year old cat. He is a dream fur baby. He might be a little shy at first - as all cats are when getting used to a new owner's home. But overall, he is a companion type of feline that just enjoys being in the room around you. He spends his day playing with his foster kitty friends and siblings, basking in sunlight, snuggling with his doggy friend and exploring his foster home. He is perfectly trained to his litter box with no accidents. Biscuit is not temperamental, purrs every time you scoop him up, loves his cat wands but also places with mice and other toys. He is the puuuurrfect addition to your home either with his brother “butters” or by himself! rh

Story
Greetings from Rudy! Rudy is the sweetest mixture of lazy sunshine napper and kitty zoomie monster. He’s joined the local neighborhood watch so that he can bring you back the news from your street. He becomes attached to his humans he lives with and is the perfect Robin to your Batman any day. Rudy would do well in any home who can give him all the attention he needs (i.e. cherish him for the beautiful soul he is). He’s a young child and needs to be adopted with one of his siblings (Johnny, Tony or Vinny) or into a home with another young cat. Rudy is a playful cat who loves to break up his play time with a nap on your lap. He’s the best snuggle buddy and you’ll never have to sleep alone once you invite him into your home. He’ll greet you when you wal in the door and be your closest companion. Rudy is looking for his forever cuddle buddy today! .

Alley is very playful and loves to cuddle and to be held, she is definitely a lap cat. She loves all the attention and also likes to follow her human and she even likes to give kisses. Fleece blankets are her favorite and she will cuddle inside one and knead with her paws. Definitely one of the sweetest cats I've had.

Story
Salem is a beautiful and endearing shorthaired tuxedo cat. He is an absolutely adorable young cat who is still feisty and active in his late kittenhood, but wonderfully gentle with "his people". He loves playing "pounce on it if you can" with a piece of string. He joined our family as a foster when a friend of the family had to move suddenly. Unfortunately, after many months of trying, Salem is simply not getting along with our longtime family cat, Tony. As much as we will miss him, we want Salem to have a happy forever home. We recommend a home with no other pets as we don't know how much of the issue is a "personal" one between Salem and Tony and how much is because Salem was never socialized with other pets/cats when young. Salem is healthy, up-to-date on all his shots, is fully litterbox trained and has been neutered.

Leo is a very cuddly cat. Purrs a ton. Has been great with my small dog. He and Josie have been together since they were born. He adjusts to change fairly quickly. He’s a great companion. It breaks my heart to rehome but I am moving and can’t take him. He deserves a loving home.
