Story
I found Smoky as a tiny 6-8 week old in a dumpster outside the restaurant I worked in. He has been only an indoor cat and was enrolled in a regular vet care program the last year and a half and has been fixed, had all his shots etc. He's been a very loving sweet cat, but a few months ago my girl friend moved in with a cat and my mom's fiance brought in a dog that's here a lot. I got a new job with 12 hour shifts and lots of overtime at Kellanova and Smoky has been an anxious mess. He hides and runs and is scared of the cat and the dog. He never fights with the dog or cat, but he is definitely not my happy boy and I'm not there for him enough. He just isn't adjusting and I finally have to admit for his own happiness and health, I need to give him up. I only want a loving, patient home for him so he can be his old sweet content self and be loved and happy. He's really a beautiful silver cat with just a shade lighter grey around his face. Please take him home and love him.

Story
Winston is a very sweet, very calm 5 year old boy. He loves strings and drinking out of the faucet. I adopted him from great plains SPCA and he came from a home where he was the only pet. I believe Winston would do very well in a home where he is the only pet and where someone is there to spend time with him as he gets stressed by other pets. I unfortunately have another cat who really wants to play/cuddle/groom him but most the time he wants nothing to do with her and she is very persistent which causes him a great deal of stress. He seems a little standoffish around men but never aggressive with people or pets. He was declawed by his previous owner.

Story
Gaia is a very loving cat who needs connection with someone. She is very timid but also very curious. She will usually keep her distance from strangers as they scare her but she’s also so curious she creeps up and checks them out. She is a very quiet cat, she almost never meows. She will meow and cry if she is distressed. String toys on a stick are her favorite but she also loves an assortment of small toys. She is slightly overweight but the vet says no special diet is necessary just more exercise, I have her cooped up in a single bedroom/bathroom and it’s not been good for her weight. She is a bit sassy and gets an attitude sometimes but she will always let you know if she needs something from you.

Story
This is Axel, he was rescued at 2 days old after his mother was killed. He is a hand raised bottle baby who loves people with a wonderful sweet loving disposition and very high energy. He was born August 7th 2024. He is Siamese and American Shorthair mix, all black with a sleek athletic body, wow can this boy can run and play and he loves to climb. Everything is a toy to him, his one trick is he loves to leap into your arms. This rescued litter of kittens is being sponsored by Kennedy's veterinary clinic, the $75 fee covers the neuter, his kitten shots, blood test for FIV/FeLUK, it was negative and a check up. The kitten is in wonderful healthy condition, raised in a home environment, with adult cats and 2 large dogs. He eats can food (Fancy Feast) and Purina Gentle dry food. Axel is very smart, he's a quite talker, he trills and meows while playing, and comes to a jingle bell. Everyone knows black cats have the best personality and he does.

Story
Blizzy was born to a friend with multiple litters and was raised by a full family with 2 large dogs, 2 other cats, and a newborn all the way to 10months. Blizzy is the best family house cat. Blizzy comes to her name, knows when feeding time is, and consistently uses her litter box. She loves kids and can’t get enough pets from them. She looks to dogs and cats for affection by rubbing her face with theirs. She is fine laying down in your lap, or playing with lasers, feathers, and anything that moves like a mouse would! She has a unique short tail as well as a unique coat coloring. Shes a blondie and certainly acts like it sometimes, but all of the time she’s a sweet girl!

Story
Meet Luke, the most handsome little dude you ever did see! Not only that, he is a friendly soul who welcomes new acquaintances, both feline and human! He gets along great with other foster cats in his home. He is curious and playful, loving to run, chase, and climb with his feline friends and play with the wand toy (his favorite) with his foster mom! When he is not romping with his friends or napping like a champ, Luke can be found in his foster mom's lap, getting lots of cuddles and snuggles, head bumps, and kisses. Luke is not just a cat, he is a loving companion and playmate. When Luke first came into foster from a less than desirable situation, he had issues with constipation which was treated with quality canned food and cat laxatives. He has overcome that ailment for several months now, but does require good food and an observant human to ensure that he poos every day!

Story
This is Queenie, a 1.5 year-old british short hair purring machine! She's got a fun personality, loves attention, and has a slight addiction to her favorite toy, springs. Once you have her trust, she is a certified soft blanket biscuit maker. She is great with adults and was raised with a bull terrier and another cat, Smidge. While Queenie and Smidge are from separate litters and not inseparable, ideally they would be adopted together because we think they would be happier and able to better adjust. She's very food motivated, loves to play with a teaser toy, "helps" make your bed in the morning, LOVES the windowsill and stretching out on the back of our couch. She would do well in a home where she could be slowly introduced to any other animals in the house to build trust; she doesn't engage with our dog, but does tolerate her. Queenie would probably do best in a home with older children as loud noises aren't her style.
