Story
02/04/25 - Please text before calling, I've been getting a lot of spam calls lately - Void is such an energetic boy. Always running around and being so full of energy that he has no idea what to do with it. He is also very loving, rubbing against your leg and following you around. But don't look in his eyes, he embodies the no thoughts behind them mentality. We would like for a family who has the energy to play around with this baby boy and give him lots of love! We would prefer if both Shadow and Void were adopted together as they seemed to be bonded.

These pups are in Charlottesville, Virginia too!

Daphne was adopted by our family 7 years ago as a kitten. The last few years she has gotten more stressed and less tolerant of our other animals. Daphne is an INDOOR ONLY cat. Ideally she needs a person who will dote on her as the singular pet in the household. She is quirky, sweet, and extremely loving. Daphne is a chill cat who loves to stay near her favorite people. Daphne is not shy around visitors.

Story
Aristocrat is my big, lovable boy who just wants to chill and be fed (seriously, he loves food—so watch out if you have other pets at mealtime!). He’s super relaxed, loves to be held, and will either curl up in your lap or just plop down on the floor for a nap. He’s grown up around a Rottweiler, so dogs don’t faze him at all. He also does great in louder homes—he’s not the type to get spooked by noise or chaos, he just vibes through it all. The only thing to know is that he’s not neutered since I couldn’t afford it, so that’s something his future home should keep in mind. I’m moving across the country for school and can’t take him with me, which is really tough. I just want to find him a loving home where he can keep living his best, lazy life. If you think Aristocrat sounds like your kind of cat, please reach out! I just want to make sure he ends up somewhere safe and loved. ❤️

Story
This is Coraline, my tiny, blue-grey sweetheart who’s barely 7 pounds (if that!). She’s got the cutest little face and a quiet, curious personality. She’s a little shy at first, but once she trusts you, she’s super sweet and loves to just hang out near a window, watching the world go by. ☀️ She’s great with other cats and doesn’t mind dogs, but a super loud or chaotic home might not be the best fit for her. She’s a bit particular when it comes to her litter box—she needs it really clean every day and is picky about the type of litter, so she’d do best with someone who’s patient and understanding of her little quirks. I’ve had Coraline since she was born—her mom was a stray we found in a box in the rain while she was pregnant. So, this is really hard for me. 💔 But I’m moving across the country for school and can’t take her with me, and I just want to find the best possible home where she’ll be safe, loved, and cared for.
