Story
Pepper belonged to my grandmother, but was later given to us after she had a stroke. She's been in our care for 2 years, but we sadly have to find her a new home because my newborn is allergic. Pepper is almost 10 years old, but still acts like a kitten. She doesn't like dogs, but will act friendly with other cats and kids. She is very cuddly, very sweet, and adjusts to new environments pretty easily.

Sebastian is a 7 year old tuxedo cat that was rescued when he was a kitten. He is a sweet boy, but skiddish around new people and animals. He just needs a little time to adjust then will be very affectionate. My newborn is allergic so we can no longer keep him unfortunately. He DOES NOT like dogs! He is a very independent, calm and quiet cat, but loves gentle pets and scratches.

Story
Lily was abandoned while pregnant. Family moved and left her alone. She is an indoor Cat. She was heartbroken. She gave birth to 4 kittens, and my family saved her and her babies from a coyote attack. So now we are "involved." We took her in, protected her and her now 4 month old babies, loved her spoiled her but...we can't keep her. No pet policy at my sister house, no luck in family taking her, I had a stroke and brain bleed, and moving to a facility for care out of state where I will be living closer to relatives. I can't take the cats with me. They are friendly, mild, cuddly, playful, sweet and primarily indoor cats. They need homes and deserve a family. Great cats.

Story
Shadow is a sweet little guy and a purr machine. Please help find a loving home for this sweet boy. He loves to sit on your lap and follow you all around (hence why i named him Shadow). He loves to play with cat toys and has youthful energy. He enjoys being in charge and should be placed in a home without other kitties at least in my experience. To be fair we have three males so he may be different in a different environment . He is litter box trained and loves the sunshine. Also does not claw furniture. We found him outside in September 2023 and he appears to be abandoned. He is microchipped but the contact information was never updated. We placed info on Facebook, Pawboost, Nextdoor, and locally to no avail. :(

Story
Spooky is a stray we brought in early this year who we did not know was pregnant. She gave birth to her one kitten, who has been weaned and is thriving. Spooky has since been spayed and has all her shots. We have tried to integrate Spooky with our other cat, but she has occasional episodes where she goes after him. He is an older cat and is very high anxiety and unfortunately, even though the fights are fairly mild, they stress him out too much. We have introduced her to one other cat who she had a much stronger dislike towards. So Spooky would do best in a one cat home. She is one of the gentlest and most loving animals ever. She loves to rub against your hand, loves kisses, and always makes biscuits. She just loves to be around people and will meow to say hello to you when she sees you! She likes to be eye level with you and lay close by. Spooky doesn't really enjoy toys much, she prefers to be nearby her people, or looking out the window. She is honestly just a simple happy cat.

Story
Luna is believed to be a little less than a year old. She is spayed and up to date on all shots (paperwork available). Luna is not a mean or bad cat, she just has a high energy level for play. We believe she would do well with other cats to play with. She is a hunter when overstimulated will bite. She has bit our son multiple times when playing and his feelings are now hurt believing she does not like him. We have a large cat tree she likes, and carrier/litter box, etc. that are all included. She is excellent about using the litter box, but the lid is necessary as she’s an aggressive digger! We want her to find a good home, we just do not believe ours is a good fit. Please give Luna a chance and the attention she deserves.

Story
We currently have 3 kittens to rehome, they are a few months old, we found them outside after a community cat gave birth to them in our backyard. So we took them in the house and let the mom cat nurse them until they were old enough. They are great with other animals since we already have cats and dogs in the house. They just run around and play with each other. You can adopt them as a trio, a pair or a single kitten.
