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
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
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
Sam was an outdoor semi feral cat who I was feeding. My goal was to befriend him, get him fixed and vaccinated. Took me 3 months to earn his trust. He was is sweet and decided he didn't want to be outdoors. We couldn't let him in until we knew he was FIV and leukemia negative. His tests were all good, we got his vaccines and got him neutered. We waited to introduce him to our cats. They weren't fans of each other. Talked to his vet and they suggested waiting a couple months while slowly introducing him while testosterone wears off. We tried introducing him to our cats again and he just wanted to fight them. We can't allow this. We have a 12 year old cat in kidney failure and he isn't strong enough to defend himself and two females who he attacked once. Sam does great with our 11 month old lab and teenage kids. He loves kisses and cuddles, loves his toys, treats and learning to use his scratching post. He will be missed greatly but we can't keep the cats separated long term.
