Story
Luna is a very shy cat who would do best in a patient home or as a barn cat in a heated barn. She successfully raised her kittens and is now ready to find a permanent home. With time and kind, patient humans, we think Luna will eventually come to enjoy human attention. Currently she will take treats from our hands but she does not yet wish to be petted. She does make eye contact and occasionally blinks at us. Luna gets along well with other cats. Luna is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines (FVRCP and rabies.) She tested negative for FIV and FELV. The vet thinks she is about 2 years old. In lieu of an adoption fee, we ask that you donate an amount of your choosing (sliding scale) to the animal rescue organization of your choice. Email, text, or call to set up a time to meet Luna!

Story
Zelda is full of energy. She loves to play with toys, especially springs, cat nip toys and balls. She also loves lazer pointer fun and playing with shoe strings. I originally got her to foster her and than she had kittens. She was such a good mom. She is really good with my other cats. And she will rub up against my neighbor when she comes over.

Story
Winnie is a sweet, vocal girl who came to us as a hungry and pregnant stray in January 2025. We gave her a safe place to regain her health and have her litter of kittens. She is now spayed and her kittens have found their forever homes. She loves human company and knows her name well. She has a special love for wet food and churus, but also enjoys chattering with her humans and cheek scratches. She does not like other cats, which is why we need to find a new home for her for where she can feel secure as the only kitty in the household. Though she spent some time outdoors as a baby, she would be better suited to an indoor-only lifestyle, but she is microchipped just in case. // Likes: Human company, eating wet food with water mixed in, chatting back and forth with her humans, made-up songs with her name in it, and cheek scratches. // Dislikes: Other cats, dirty litter, and an empty food bowl.
