Story
Adaline is an almost-6-week-old tortie girl with a gentle heart and a love for lap time! She’s already showing her affectionate nature and would be thrilled to spend her days curled up with her favorite human. She’s playful, sweet, and perfectly content being carried or cuddled — as long as she’s close to someone! 🐱 About Adaline: ✨ Age: Almost 6 weeks 🍽 Eating solid kitten food (wet and dry) 📦 Litter box trained 💖 Extremely affectionate – loves sitting in your lap 🐾 Needs a cat or kitten companion – she doesn’t like to be the only feline ✂️ Must be spayed once of age – proof of spay will be required Adaline is looking for a forever home with a feline friend to play and snuggle with, and a human who doesn’t mind a little shadow. If you're looking for a loving kitten who’s ready to become your lap buddy for life, Trixie is the one!

Story
Whitney Breed: Domestic Short Hair Gender: female, spayed Age: 8-10 years old Weight: 6 pounds Adoption fee: has been covered Whitney is really a hoot! She isn't really a lap cat, but she does enjoy communing with her people. She has also discovered cat videos and is hooked! There isn't a safe mouse, bird, or squirrel on the screen! She has also inspected the video device and determined the creatures just disappear! Wow! Whitney has also started playing with toys and, once, helped her family with a small rodent intruder! She's handy, she's sweet, and she's ready for a good time! We think Whitney would enjoy an older home that doesn't have a lot going on in terms of visitors, but with folks who enjoy a cat for company and showing her a good time! Whitney is up to date on vaccinations and tested negative for FIV/FeLV.

Story
Bowser was adopted 5yrs ago, he will be 6 in July. He is extremely sweet but sometimes moody. He loves to snuggle next to people or lay on top of them 😁. He can have a bit of an attitude and unfortunately can’t seem to get along with other cats. I’ve moved into a new living situation with three other cats and he seems like he needs to be in a one cat household. He has gotten along decently with dogs before, but that was a few years ago. He’s a wonderful boy and I would love for him to find a home with someone where he can live his best life.
