Story
Fitz was found as a stray kitten approximately 6-8 weeks old by a co-worker of mine in November 2023. While Fitz was a very sweet and playful kitten he has been aggressive with my female cat since day one. I had hoped once he was neutered and grew up a bit he would calm down some. But he continues to jump on her and chase her around the house constantly. Along with these issues Fitz has had a very hard time with litter box training. At first he just peed outside of the box. Now over the last 2 months he has also started pooping outside of his litter box. I have tried different litters, different size boxes, moved the boxes to areas he seemed to go. It has not helped. He is also very skittish with strangers, hiding anytime someone comes over. I am starting to believe that his problems are anxiety related and that a new home without other pets would be better suited for him.

Story
Fawkes is very vocal, playful and energetic! He will let you know when it's play time and when it's dinner time with his very distinct funny drawn out meow. He is a brown tabby with a while belly, chest and white paws like socks! We already had 2 cats of our own and thought another would be nice, however, Fawkes came from a foster as a kitten while our current 2 cats came from rescues from hoarding situations. Our one cat Joni has made it clear she does not like him at all but will tolerate him day to day. Our other cat Saber is getting older and purely can't keep up with Fawkes energy! There is one small problem with Fawkes, he tends to pee on carpets. We believe it may be a territorial thing due to our other cat not getting along with him so well. We hope he can be trained out of this either in a one cat home or in a home without carpets around. He has never done it anywhere else, literally only our area rugs and carpets. We apologize for the initial inconvenience.

Story
I have an 11 year old cat that is very well loved. He is very affectionate and easy going. He is pretty quick with adjustment also (we moved several times). We unfortunately cannot keep him due to my four-year-old having cystic fibrosis and has many lung problems. We have been trying to keep the cat away from her, but unfortunately, even the smallest amount of pet dander is an irritation to her. We also have a newborn on the way. He may be 11, but still has a lot of spunk and playfulness. He loves little catnip play mice. But he also loves to snuggle on your lap at night. Please help to find a forever home.

Story
Introducing Catalonia! This beautiful Tortie adores being petted and would like to find her special human so she can keep their lap warm while they stroke her super-soft coat. She is approximately 2 years old and gets along well with other felines. She came to the shelter because her owner could no longer care for her, and she is now looking for that one-on-one attention she is used to – is that with you? If so, please come visit him at the shelter Tuesday-Saturday, 12-4!

Story
Mittens is being surrendered to our rescue due to too many animals in the home. She is utd on vaccinations & spayed. She is an independent cat, who will snuggle with you occasionally. She might need a little work with litter training, it is intermittent, but it is probably due to the number of cats in the home vs. the number of litter boxes. She is about 3 years old and weighs about 8lbs.

Story
Mimi is a lovely lady! She is 9 years old and has been with us since she was a kitten. My heart breaks to have to re-home her but since having a serious case of Covid last year I have been unable to tolerate cat dander. She's a sweet girl who loves to share affection as well as enjoying her alone time. Mimi does not want a canine sibling if possible. Definitely NOT one who might chase are play rough. She's easy going, has excellent litter box manners and will allow you to clip her nails once you bond. Great company!
