Story
Hello! My name is Salem, and I am a low-maintenance, adult cat that loves to cuddle. I have lovely short hair, but I really don't shed much for a cat. I am very good with children and adults, and I even (kinda) like my dog-sister, since she's about my size. I like to play, but I don't need a lot of exercise. Give me a soft pipecleaner for a toy and I'll be entertained for hours! I like canned food best, but I will eat canned or dry all the same. You can even leave a little extra food in my bowl, and I promise not to overeat! I used to chew on everything, but I am happy to report that I am one year sober from eating any socks, clothes, or shoes. I love a good firm scratch right on the top of my head but scratching my neck or the base of my tail works wonders. Just please don't scratch my tummy; I'm a little sensitive about that. I need a new home, preferably one where I can be the only cat, but I may open up to siblings.

Story
Sassy, a sweet little black and white tuxedo, is ready to steal your heart! This playful 4-year-old loves to entertain herself with laser pointers, wand toys, and soft toys. She's quite the chatterbox, often "talking" while she plays, even at night – but don't worry, it's a cute, not disruptive sound. Sassy has a soft spot for catnip and a personality as sweet as she is. Once she warms up to you, she's all about cuddles and head butts. She's a bit of a goofball too, loving to chase foam balls up and down the stairs. This former neighborhood stray has blossomed into a lovely house cat. Due to unfortunate circumstances, Sassy needs a loving forever home where she can continue to thrive. Could that home be yours?

Story
This sweet boy is our newest visitor. The vet says he is somewhere between 1 and 2 years old. He is a stray but you wouldn't know that by his behavior. He is super sweet and loving (wants all the pets you can give him). He is a little apprehensive when meeting other cats but has been slowly getting use to our two resident cats. He is a goofy boy who loves to play and would do well with a family who can play with him often. He does well as an indoor cat,but also enjoys the outdoors. He is up to date on his rabies shots and is neutered!
