Story
Meet Kobe, a lovable 2-year and 10-month-old brown and white tabby with a heart full of sweetness! Kobe`s journey began when he was transferred to the shelter from another organization, and right from the start, he proved to be a friendly and affectionate cat. His gentle nature and easy-going personality make him an instant friend to anyone he meets, and he has shown no aggression whatsoever.Kobe was adopted into a home, but unfortunately, after a few months, he was returned when his habit of wandering outside and socializing with feral cats became a concern. While he enjoyed the outdoors, his owners found that he would bring fleas back with him. And when confined indoors, Kobe would get frustrated, leading to some furniture scratching as he voiced his discontent.Kobe is now seeking a new home with an indoor and outdoor environment where he can roam freely and safely. A home where he can enjoy both the comfort of indoor living and the adventures of the outdoors would be ideal for this sweet, well-mannered tabby. He’s sure to bring plenty of joy, affection, and companionship to the right family!

Story
Meow! My name is Pinkish D’mure Rainbow. My foster mom affectionately calls me Meatball. Why? Because I came to her as a spicy little meatball. With love, affection, and love and receiving fantastic food and treats, I am now deferalized. I was very unsure of the world at first, but with the help of my four foster siblings, I am now a confident kitty. They showed me the joys of playing with toys, fishing rod cat toys, and the occasional hair tie. I am also a kitchen clean-up crew member and believe no crumb should be left behind. When it’s time to relax, I look for a lap to snuggle and cuddle with on my own schedule. When I wake up, I am on hunting duty, looking for bugs and other fun things to bat around. Take a chance on me, and let’s have a great new year together.

Story
Piper was a very small bean of a kitten when she was brought to us - a neonatal kitten, or a kitten that is still fully dependent on their mother and her milk. She required extra care and attention, and constant feedings, or else she would yell at us, which is why we gave her her name, Piper. As she grew up, her demeanor calmed down quite a bit - but her attitude didn’t! Piper is the princess of the household. She never demands attention because she knows she is too cute not to get it. She is now ready to be the queen of a house, could that be you? The queen does demand no canines in the house, she loves her fellow felines but no dogs, please.

Story
Box Prince came to us completely paralyzed and shaking from unknown head trauma, it took a while in foster before he learned how to walk and regain his senses but when he did, the personality and determination for life he has is unmatched. When he learned to walk a step, he remembered how to run a mile! He loves his adopted siblings and is a happy, playful lil guy looking for a home.

Story
Tulip and Bud are two adorable black cats with a unique flair, Tulip has a single white whisker, and Bud sports three white whiskers! This sweet pair arrived at the shelter three months ago, feeling scared and unsure. But with time, they’ve blossomed into playful, loving companions.Tulip is a one-year-old female who has been working hard on her confidence. Once shy, she now confidently zips around the cat room, roughhousing with Bud and other feline friends during playtime. Her favorite toy is a toy wand with feathers, and she lights up when she gets the chance to chase and pounce on it.Bud, her 9-month-old kennelmate, is the more outgoing of the two. He’s a playful troublemaker who loves testing boundaries. Whether it’s lying next to an annoyed cat and cheekily batting their tail or enthusiastically chasing toys, Bud keeps everyone entertained. His high energy and mischievous nature make him a delight to watch!These two have always been together and share a deep bond, so they’re listed as a bonded pair. They get along well with other cats, but Bud’s playful antics add an extra layer of fun to any group. With their growing confidence and sweet personalities, Tulip and Bud are ready to find a forever home where they can continue to thrive together.If you’re looking for a dynamic duo to bring love, laughter, and energy into your life, Tulip and Bud are the perfect pair!
