Story
This sweet guy showed up in the tree by our deck. He was immediately friendly, loving, and charming. It was obvious that he was a house cat (he was terrified of being outside) and has had a lot of attention. He loves to be held like a baby and pulls your face down for kisses. He is very talkative and enjoys carrying on a conversation with anyone who will listen and loves being a lap cat (His preferred place for a nap). He also still plays like a kitten. He enjoys chasing nerf balls, laser pointers, and almost any type of cat toy. He really needs to be an only cat. He is great with our kitten, but fights with our adult girl cats. He would also do well with a family that has older kids who can play with him to help curb his high and fun energy. We have searched and searched for his owners to no avail. We are not sure why, but we think that he was possibly abandoned.

Story
Meet Munkie, the Resilient and Petite Queen! Born around May 2023, Munkie was rescued as a tiny kitten with an eye injury and viral infection. She’s since made a full recovery, with just a small scar and occasional watery eye to show for her fighting spirit. Munkie became a mom at a young age, raising six kittens with love and patience. Now spayed and retired from motherhood, she’s ready for a fresh start. While Munkie gets along with other adult cats and even shares sweet face-rubs with some, she sometimes gets a bit testy—likely from dealing with so many kittens! A quieter home with fewer pets might help her shine. She loves outdoor adventures like hunting and exploring but is also a sweet companion for cuddling during TV time or bedtime. Munkie is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines. If you’re looking for an independent, affectionate, and occasionally sassy companion, Munkie is ready to steal your heart!

Story
Born on April 17, 2024, Linus is a dashing little gentleman with a velvety black coat and mesmerizing rusty green eyes. This affectionate kitty adores being close to his humans. Whether he’s rubbing his face against yours, curling up in your arms, or melting into your lap as you pet his silky fur, Linus knows how to make you feel loved. He’s the perfect companion for quiet evenings or lazy weekends, always ready to share some snuggles. Growing up in a multi-cat household with his mama, five siblings, and a few extra feline friends, Linus has honed his social skills. The neighbor dogs barked and chased him from the other side of the fence, but with proper introductions, he may adjust to calm, non-aggressive pups who respect his boundaries. Linus was exposed to a common respiratory virus as a kitten but has fully recovered. If you’re searching for a purring bundle of love to brighten your days, Linus is ready to fill that spot in your heart and home! ❤️

Story
Moosh is 3-4 years old. He was found on the side of the street when he was younger. He is an extremely affectionate cat, and can sometimes be quite demanding about it. He loves people and interacting with new people. There is need for time to get to used to new people, he loves everybody. From what we have experienced, he is very passive and has no problem with other cats, however he has never been with a dog. He’s hilarious, adorable, affectionate, and sometimes a little aloof.
