Story
Got her from the humane society about a year ago, so she’s about 2 years old. A really wonderful loving cat. We’ve kept her inside mostly, but she does wonder out sometimes if the door is open but will come back if called. She’s not super cuddly but loves belly rubs and to sit on your lap on the couch, and sleep with you. She also loves toys and to chase things around. She also loves to rub on your legs and flop to the ground for pets. Has never hissed, bit, or scratched.

Story
This is my sweet girl Kikio. She is 10 years old and will be 11 early 2024. My brother brought her home it was July 2013. She’s my ride or die. We have been thru everything together. But she does not like my 19 mo old daughter. She doesn’t have a good history with kids either. She needs a lot of attention and cuddles and time as she’s older now! I unfortunately can’t keep up with her. And she’s sent my daughter to the ER at least 3 times. Both my daughter and kikio deserve to be in safe environments where they feel comfortable and at home! I’m searching for someone who has the time and patience and love to give my lil old lady. it breaks my heart to do this. But I know someone out there can provide a better environment for her to live freely and not feel the need to be violent. I’m hoping she’ll land in good hands. Please message me with serious inquiries only. I appreciate your time!

Hello there, My name is Torta.I`m currently in a foster home. This is what my current foster parents have to say about me:Hi, my name is Torta!I was living at a foster home with my brother Spatlo since we were both scared of humans, but we eventually learned how nice humans can be! Both me and my sibling are high energy kitties who love chasing each other and playing with toys (especially wands!). We are also highly food motivated and have been caught multiple times biting through food bags! At our foster home we did a good job of coexisting with the senior cats, outside of stealing their food at times!Of the two of us, I`m the more courageous and cleverer kitty,I`m easy to handle and pick up! When I first met the older cats, my foster dad would often have to hold me back to ensure I didn`t scare them. I also have a reputation as a troublemaker as I`m the one who finds food bags and starts breaking into them! But I`m also a purry kitty who loves head scritches and lying on a warm lap! When our foster dad was using his standing desk, we would often grab onto his leg as we wanted him to sit down with us!We would probably like a quieter home as we still are shy around most people and new situations. I would like to be adopted with my brother Spatlo so we can continue to play and snuggle together!

Hello there, My name is Spatlo and I`m currently in a Foster home.If you`re looking for a little bit of information about me, this is what my foster parents have to say:WEB MEMO:Hi, my name is Spatlo!I was living at a foster home with my sister Torta since we were both scared of humans, but we eventually learned how nice humans can be! Both me and my sibling are high energy kitties who love chasing each other and playing with toys (especially wands!). We are also highly food motivated and have been caught multiple times biting through food bags! At our foster home we did a good job of coexisting with the senior cats, outside of stealing their food at times!Of the two of us, I`m shyer and more sensitive. I may back away if directly petted, but you can often find me snuggling with your leg when you aren`t looking! And oftentimes when faced with a new situation, I wait for my sister to show it`s okay before I join in too. I can be very affectionate when it`s on my own terms, and I like to meow when I want attention. I also have an inquisitive curiosity as I love to find tiny bugs to watch! When our foster dad was using his standing desk, we would often grab onto his leg as we wanted him to sit down with us! I`m also known to give love-bites and play a bit rough with hands, but I mean well and will stop if you give me a lil `owie!`.We would probably like a quieter home as we still are shy around most people and new situations.

Story
Hi, my name is SoySauce, and I am available for adoption.Since I was very scared at the shelter, my foster daddy has been working with me to see if I can be socialized. He noticed right away that I was used to being in a home, and comfortable with it - just not with people. Since he let me make the decisions, I became more open about moving around the room while he was there, but it was 12 weeks before I allowed a touch - a real project kitty! But then I was all in for lots of petting - as long as I approached him! Two more weeks, and I`m sitting on his lap for hours. But I`m still very skittish, and I run if he moves differently than I`m used to, or approaches me, or if I hear different indoor sounds, like voices or a radio. I`ve been very tentative about exploring the rest of the home, but I expect to finish it up eventually. (Foster Daddy believes it`s important to note that in all these weeks I`ve never made an aggressive act towards him.)It looks like I`ll make a nice house cat, but only If I`m given lots of time to get used to you and your home. Being outside may be very hard on me, since I`m terrified of new and/or changing circumstances. I can get used to a new place if I have a closed room (with my food, water, litter box and places to sleep and hide) and I can get used to a new person in the room given enough time. Kids may likely terrify me, and other pets may be difficult. One or two people in a quiet home may work best for me. But I like to play, and I`m young, so I may be very energetic around people I`ve learned to trust. I might even like a companion cat to play with, but I might be terrified instead.My foster daddy believes that I will always be skittish, and expects that I will likely always run and hide at the first sign of a visitor, or sounds I don`t know, like maybe voices or a radio or TV or telephone.If you would like to take on a project cat, and can accept a very skittish result, follow the instructions under `Foster Path` and Foster Daddy will talk to you about me, and if you want to adopt me he can set up a meeting with me.

Story
Hi! My name is Dude and I am available for adoption.I was brought in by my previous owner on February 7, 2025 because they had too many cats. I lived in a home with other cats. My previous owner described me as friendly.I am an affectionate lovebug who would be thrilled to hang out with you at home once I get to know you!Because of my shy nature, I would do best in a calm, quiet home. When I go to my new home it is important to be patient with me and allow me time to acclimate to my new environment at my own speed. It is best to keep me in a smaller, quiet room, with my food, bed, and litterbox until I am comfortable and confident enough to start exploring the rest of my home.I am a gentle and loving cat who likes to take things slow. I may get nervous in new situations, so I am looking for a family who understands that I might need some time to warm up. Once I get to know you, I will be a very devoted friend!

Story
Please see__. These two cats need to be adopted together. Both are 5 years old. I have had both girls since they were a few weeks old, they were bottle babies. We are moving and cannot be with the cats for an unknow number of months. It breaks my heart to depart with these two, as I love them dearly, but I cannot find another option. Wednesday is a sweet girl, who doesn't love to be held but wants love when she asks for it (usually when sitting, or if you have a blanket with you). She is a little skittish when walking towards her, as she will run away if you're too fast. Wednesday sleeps on blankets in the living room, sometimes with you in bed. She is well cared for. She has had recent blood work in the last year and gets monthly revolution to prevent ticks/fleas/and heartworm. She is a free-feed kibble eater. She loves to play with dangle toys and loves the outdoor patio. Wednesday is generally quiet, when she does meow it is a cute high pitch!
