Story

Widget is a smart, affectionate and energetic cat who will be turning 5 this fall. He loves to play- his favorite toys are the laser pointer and a tape measure. He also loves cuddles- but not on your lap, right on your chest near your face! While Widget gets along well with our older cat, he is always ready for more playtime than our older cat can handle. We have a two year old and are having another baby soon, so our busy family just cant give Widget the attention and play sessions he deserves anymore. We are also touched out so dont have much left for cuddles either. Though I will note he has always been good and patient with my son- even when my son has got a fistful of his fur and I have to run to the rescue. We are looking for a loving home where Widget can get the engagement and cuddles that will let his personality shine. The perfect match would be someone with time for regular play and cozy snuggles with this smart, affectionate guy!

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Lightning is a former outdoor cat brought inside over 1.5 years ago. He is an older gentleman at almost 13 years old (2/10) but he still has quite a bit of spunk in in his step. He loves bouncing around the room and chasing his tail. Lightning was neglected by a former owner and walks with a slight limp on his left side. He would appreciate a quiet home with no dogs or other cats and a patient owner who will let him snuggle with you on his own terms. **Lightning is neutered, FIV/FeLV/HW negative and is UTD on all vaccines until September 2026. He has no known health issues at this time.**

Story

Meet Kevin: Your Future Stress-Reliever and Furry Sidekick Kevin is a sweet senior boy with a big heart (and a little extra weight he’s working on!). He was surrendered when his previous owners could no longer care for him, but that hasn’t dulled his love for life or people. Kevin became a beloved clinic cat after being taken in by a veterinary team who helped him shed some of his 22+ pounds. While he kept everyone at the clinic on their toes, Kevin is now ready to find his forever home where he can continue his journey toward a healthy lifestyle. This handsome boy craves attention and loves being the center of it all. He has a habit of making biscuits and purring away, perfect for reducing your stress. Kevin is independent but never far from his human, always eager to be part of your day (and your Zoom calls). He loves gazing out windows, relaxing on comfy beds, and being your go-to work assistant or cuddle buddy on the couch. Kevin isn’t a fan of dogs—he’s convinced he can take on a German Shepherd all by himself—but he will make a great companion for someone looking for a laid-back, affectionate friend. He’s healthy aside from needing to lose a few more pounds, and he’s looking for a loving home that can help him continue his weight loss journey. Our rescue operates with an open adoption policy, meaning we keep in touch for the cat’s lifetime. We love building connections with adopters and getting updates through pictures and videos. When you adopt from us, you gain not just a new pet but a support system for life.

Story

Meet Isla & Una: A Sweet Bonded Pair Looking for a Home Together! Isla (Ayla), a 1-year-old rescue, gave birth to her only kitten, Una, just three days after being saved from a gas station. Despite being a kitten herself, Isla is a loving, attentive mom who still cares for Una by grooming her and playing chase through the house. Isla is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and FeLV/FIV negative. She’s an athletic and curious cat who loves wand toys, catnip, and relaxing by your side after some playtime. Una, now 13 weeks old, is full of energy and curiosity! She loves zooming around, pouncing on tails, and napping in your lap once she’s tuckered out. She’s up-to-date on her vaccinations and scheduled to be spayed in early December. Una is friendly and comfortable with new people and loves freeze-dried chicken treats. This duo has never been exposed to dogs or kids but adjusts well to new environments. They’re ready to bring double the love and fun to a forever home!

Story

Meet Jasper, the spirited orange-and-white tabby kitten who will steal your heart! At just 4 months old, Jasper is bursting with energy, curiosity, and charm. This little explorer loves nothing more than zipping around the house, chasing toys, and playing with his siblings. After a day of adventures, he transforms into the ultimate cuddle bug, happily snuggling up for some well-earned rest. Jasper is a social butterfly who thrives on companionship—both feline and human. He would love to be adopted with one of his siblings or join a home that already has a playful cat to keep him company. He’s also quite the talker and won’t hesitate to let you know when it’s mealtime! While he may need a little time to adjust to a new environment, once he feels at home, his loving and playful nature shines through. When you adopt from our rescue, you’re not just giving a kitten like Jasper a home—you’re becoming part of a lifelong family. We offer ongoing support and love staying connected with adopters through updates, photos, and stories. Jasper is ready to find his forever family—could that be with you?
