Story
Meet Roland, a shy and timid young male cat with a gentle heart. Roland was surrendered to the shelter after his owner could no longer afford to care for him, and though he’s been through a lot, he’s remained sweet and calm. He’s done well with other cats in the past, but he’s a little reserved and takes his time warming up to new people and environments. Roland tends to be on the more cautious side, preferring quiet spaces where he can feel safe and observe the world around him. With patience and a gentle touch, Roland will slowly open up and show his affectionate side. He’s looking for a calm, understanding home where he can settle in and feel secure.

Story
Dexter is a male cat I found with his sister, in lorimor Iowa with no momma as she got sick and passed away. Dexter was a runt with an infected eye and is now bigger and a bully to his sister. Its ok though she fights back. Dexter loves attention and LOVES treats. He knows how to sit! He’s also very cuddly.

Story
Dee Dee and her brother Dexter were found in lorimor Iowa with no momma as she got sick and passed, so without proper nutrition at a very young age she is very small for her age as of right now. She loves people once you’ve gotten her heart, she’ll lick you and give you kisses all day long, and may nibble your ear. She is INCREDIBLY smart and very good driven.

Story
Unforunately, due to some financial strains. I am having to move. With this being said, the person I will be living with is extremely allergic to cats and has had medical complications in the past due to this allergy. Q and Cass are beautiful kitties that love kids, gets along with all types of dogs, and are fun playful bunch! I really need to find a new home for them as I have had no luck with friends and family!

Tiger is a very loving cuddly cat if you are laying or chillin he won’t leave your side, he’s about a year old and loves to play. he’s very energetic and knows his name very well. he uses the litter box and haven’t had any other issues. he loves treats almost too much he will find a way to get to them. he hates being tapped/shut in a room so looking for a home where he has plenty of space to roam and do his thing and gets lots of attention.

Story
This handsome boy looks like he was taken straight from a 2000s emo music video with his slick black fur! If you like a guy to brood with in front of a window, preferably in the rain, then we have found your match. Blackie is one of our shyer kitties and would do best in a patient home, but if you want a cat who you can really help come into his own, this guy might be for you!
