Story
Pepper Jelly is strikingly beautiful! She's just over a year old, all gray with soft black accents on her nose and her back legs. She is extremely playful, jumps incredible heights to catch a feather, and she is very loving, talkative, and wants quality time with the humans to make biscuits and purr. She loves to brush by you to show her affection but she won't jump into your arms (at least not yet!). She will jump on the bed to see you and then happily make biscuits on a soft blanket. Pepper deserves a forever home where she will be taken proper care of and spoiled with lots of play time and snuggles. Pepper requires a veterinarian appointment so she can get up-to-date on the standard shots and to be spayed immediately.

Story
Meet Fez, with his striking Asian Blue Tabby coat he's a vision of beauty. At just one year old, he's mastered the art of relaxation, basking in the warmth of the sun and delighting in playful antics with toys or fellow companions. His affection knows no bounds as he purrs contentedly by your side, craving nothing more than your companionship. He loves to lay next to your computer while you work in your office and will want to paw at your screen chasing the courser helping you work. Whether it's mingling with the family dog or kids, Fez's friendly nature knows no bounds. His athleticism adds a touch of grace to his every move. Fez is living the good life after a rough start in which he battled and beat FIP (feline infectious peritonitis). He's cured and should not require additional treatments. Fastidious in grooming, Fez takes pride in his pristine appearance, from his golden-yellow eyes that gleam in the sunlight to his sweet round face adds to his irresistible charm. But Fez is not just a handsome face, when mealtime arrives, get ready for a display of pure joy as Fez gracefully dances around your feet, eagerly anticipating the feast ahead. Fez isn't just a cat; he's become a beloved family member to his foster family. And now he's ready to bring warmth and joy into your home.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
Rashita is a rescued cat from the shelter, we got her 7 years ago. She was very scared when we got her as a kitten she was a strayed cat before getting to the shelter . At only 8 weeks old we adopted her and has been with us since we are the only family she knows or has been. Although she’s is very scared of the outdoors she loves to peak her head out to watch the birds chirp in the mornings . We have a dog that is 12 now and their relationship hasn’t been the best. Rashita has her own room with her litter and food all to her self she’s very to her self doesn’t like people hides when we have visitor. Her only major problem is . She pees on beds sofa and anything she finds on the floor from time to time. I attribute this to anxiety or anger towards to dog or whenever she misses a bit of food or water. Never goes a day without eating and pees in her litter daily . We don’t know what else to do. Maybe is the dog the kids or us she doesn’t like n would enjoy a solo family instead.

Story
Nickey was found by a friend on the street as a baby. After nearly 5 years this friend was overwhelmed by some big life changes and could not care for the cat anymore anymore. I adopted him in 2022, but recently moved to a much smaller room long-term with other roommates who do not want a cat in the house. Nickey is not able to roam and is confined to a very small room, where he does not have the comfort he needs to thrive. He usually had lots of room to run around and play- otherwise he gets angsy. He would be most comfortable in a home where he has free roam, cat tower and scratching posts. He had lived with multiple cats and dogs before and can get along with new people easily. After so much change and restriction in his life, he really just needs a consistent forever home where he will feel free and loved the rest of his years.

Story
Miles is a chonky cuddler who loves to eat and play! I adopted him over three years ago from a family in Washington state. He is about 11 years old. Vet has told me he is in good health and I have not noticed anything wrong physically. I am working all the time and about to move again, and I don’t want to put him through all that. I would rather him be with a family that will spend time playing with him. He would do best in a home with no dogs unless they are well behaved and chill. He can get used to dogs it just takes a long time. I do not know his behavior around other cats. Overall Miles is extremely chill, but when he is hungry or wants you to pick him up he will definitely let you know.
