Story
Lily MRQ#: S11-22 DOB: 9/15/22 SEX: Female BREED: american shorthair COLOR: Tuxedo Lily her mom and sister (Luna,I think they are paternal twins) were left outside under a shed without food or water the coyotes were trying to get to them, because their owner did not want them. When I saw the mom run up to a coyote that was about 8' from her with her hair raised to protect her babies, I grabbed her and felt in my heart to help. These cats seem to be very healthy they have not had any health issues. Very affectionate when you lie down to sleep. Very inquisitive wants to be watch me when I am doing chores. Plays in the sheets while I change the bed. Her favorite play is chasing the feather toy on a long string so she may jump and do back flips. She can jump about 3' high or higher! She is pretty independent not needy she loves her cat tower to watch the birds. She is an inside cat. She will roll over on her back when she feels safe and let you pet her belly if I could, I would keep her and her sister they are very fun to watch them play together and groom each other. Personality Traits: Is litter box trained Has been around other cats Has been around LARGE dogs Is a very ACTIVE kitty Is a mellow, laid back kitty Does NOT liked to be held Does NOT liked to be picked up Luna Other Personality Traits: She is very cautious and will need patience and kindness to trust. Once she trusts you, you will have a buddy for life she is very loyal but will be scared at first as she has always been with her sister. She will need time to get to know and trust new people but if you play with her and let her figure things out on her own she will do better as she is very independent.

Story
We took in a stray female cat who was pregnant (surprise!) and had a litter of 4. There were three female domestic short hair tabbies and Lucca who is a male black and white kitten. He was born August 26, 2024 and has been raised in a Loving home with his mother and sisters. He is such a mellow cat who loves to just observe his surroundings when he is not playing. He is neutered, chipped and his vaccinations are up to date.

After work I found Dahlia in front of my door hungry,shy,scared and in need of love. I brought her inside, comforted her,fed her,and attended to her medical needs; such as , spay,inoculations,exams and nutritional needs. She beautiful, sweet, velvety, and over all kind with no ill will. I'm looking for a loving forever home for her. She deserves it.

Story
I live in a complex where sadly a lot of cats get left behind. He is domesticateed. Likes tummy rubs, love head rubs. He is a stray to me anyway. I can not afford another cat and am moving out of state soon. Iam not sure if its a male or female. He is overweight and likes to talk. He is really sweet and would make a great companion. I have two cats already and am low income. I do what I can for the strays. He definetely needs a check up and a bath. I've wiped him with clothes but that's all I can do. He kind of took up residencey in my home like most of the abandoned cats in our complex. He loves belly rubs and his head. He does need to see a vet though and definetely a flea dip. Right now his eyes are watering and he is talking much more. This morning he was hard to wake. I really need to know he will go to a loving home and be well taken care of. NO KILL SHELTERS!

Story
Meet Heila – A Beautiful, Loving Companion We’ve had the joy of having Heila in our family since she was just a tiny kitten of 3 or 4 months old. She turned 4 in June 2024 and has been a cherished part of our lives ever since. Heila has a fun way of assigning “responsibilities” to each of us — I’m in charge of feeding, while my partner handles cleaning duties! She absolutely adores my daughter, always gentle, affectionate, and happy to play with her. She thrives in calm environments and seems to prefer quieter spaces. When we host gatherings or parties, Heila usually finds a cozy spot to hide and stay out of the hustle and bustle. While we haven’t had other pets or young children in the house, Heila enjoys bonding one-on-one and is her friendliest when she's alone with just one of us. She’s not overly playful or mischievous but is incredibly kind and easygoing — a calm and comforting presence who enjoys simple joys. We are sadly seeking a loving home for Heila due to health issues

Story
Peter and James are double the cuteness and double the fun. These bonded siblings are about 10 months old. They were rescued out of a garage at about six weeks old and have been in a foster home ever since. These sweet boys are now looking for their forever home. They are playful, affectionate, and love snuggling and playing with each other. They love climbing and chilling in their cat tree, especially if they can watch out a window! We are only looking to home both boys together, and we are happy to gift some of their cat supplies to their new owner. They are neutered and up to date on their vaccinations. If you are interested in these playful boys or have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
