Story
Tom is a sweet cat. He loves the indoors and outdoors. Loves to cuddle up on anything soft. He is a curious and quiet cat. Does not need much, other than some yummy food and cuddles. He can be jumpy but will adapt when he needs to. Gets along with our other cat very well.

Story
Penny is a 3 year old tabby cat. She needs a quiet home with no other animals. Penny suffers from feline non recognition aggression with other cats. She gets along with my elderly dog but she will misdirect her aggression towards other animals in the house if she is feeling overwhelmed. She would do best alone with one or two people or grown children. She’s inside only but does yearn to be outside. It’s not safe in my area but she’s smart and will probably take to being inside/outside with the proper training.

Story
Artemis was rescued from an unfortunate situation where she was kept in a cage under a tarp on the street in an encampment. She is a very affectionate and social girl! She is very comfortable around all people, other cats, and dogs. She is very gentle and loves to play and climb! Artemis would do very well in an environment where she can have plenty of enrichment and indoors only. She would do just fine as a solo cat, and she would also do very well in a home with other animals.

Story
I don’t know her breed. She is about a year old. She is very cute and cuddly, but also has an attitude, so she needs an owner who will be okay with that. I had to move in with my parents again to save on rent, and she is not loving living with their dog and cat. They put up with each other, but she definitely wants to be the alpha, and is not nice to the other pets. It would be ideal if the new owners don’t have other cats or dogs. She did really well when it was just my husband and I in the house, but she is not loving having more people around now either. But even with all of that, we were making it work, but soon we are going to have a baby around the house, and she does not do well with children. I am scared she will bite or scratch the kids, and that’s not worth it to risk it. So I would not recommend her to go to a home that will have children around. She also absolutely loves being outside. She loves climbing trees and stalking through plants.

Story
Mary is very playful, inquisitive, and vocal. She loves to talk to humans. Unfortunately she doesn’t get along with our other cat (her litter mate) or our dog. She would live her best life in a petless home, with someone or multiple someones who are often home (retired, works from home, multi-person household). Likes a good back scratch and her “Da Bird” toy. 3 years old.

Story
We adopted this beautiful, friendly boy in December of 2022. I found out shortly thereafter that I was pregnant. During my pregnancy, Andie was the sweetest companion. He is a lap cat by nature and ALWAYS wants to be near you! He loves pets and playing. He eagerly greets visitors. However, when I brought my twins home in September of 2023, I could tell that Andie was stressed. He wasn't getting as much attention and the constant noise of babies led him to start over-grooming. I wanted to give him a full year to see if he might adapt; however, he is still over-grooming and has begun to demonstrate redirected aggression. Andie never had any behavioral issues before my children were born. I believe he would be an incredible cat for a home where people are typically present (work from home) and would do well with much older children who can be gentle and even play with him.
