Meet Archie: The Resilient, Lovable Survivor Archie’s story could have ended on the streets, struggling to survive—but fate had other plans. When he was first found, he was in rough shape, unable to eat or even close his mouth properly. His rescuer feared the worst, thinking his jaw might be broken. But at the vet, the heartbreaking truth was revealed: it wasn’t a broken bone—it was a chicken bone, rotting away and wedged in his mouth, preventing him from eating. Despite the pain he endured, Archie never lost his gentle spirit. Now, fully healed and thriving, this five-year-old cream-colored beauty is ready for the next chapter of his life—one filled with love, security, and a family to call his own. Archie is a cat who takes life in stride. He currently shares his home with six dogs and several other cats, proving that he’s adaptable and gets along well with both feline and canine companions. But he’s not picky—whether it’s a bustling multi-pet household or a quieter home where he can soak up undivided attention, Archie will be happy as long as he’s loved. Are you the one who can give Archie the forever home he deserves? Come meet this sweet, resilient boy and let him show you just how much love a survivor like him has to give. 🐾 Apply to adopt Archie today! 🐾https://www.familiarhearts.org/adoptable-pets

Charlotte is searching for her forever home! Found as a stray, Charlotte was very skittish and shy, but is now the most affectionate kitten. She loves to be pet and make biscuits and she is a TALKER.

Mauby is a very playful and silly 4-year-old who loves looking outside, playing with toys, and getting treats. He doesn't get along with other cats, but loves meeting humans and getting head scratches. He also loves blankets, birds, any kind of string, and drinking water from the bathtub. He’s quirky and enjoys being up high. I'm looking for someone with lots of love, who will give him the nurturing forever home he deserves. I also have extra supplies available (including leftover treats, litter, food, litterbox, toys, etc.), if you may want/need them.

Tundra is cuddler for sure. Eating and being held are close favorites as long as he gets to sniff your face! He also get excited for playtime, though slightly less than his sister. Named for his long orange fur, tundra is a bonded pair with his littermate, girl (the only girl of her litter) they are 5 months old this November 4th (birthday June 4 2022), generally socialized and potty trained. Both have had spay/neuter and rabies shot 11/11/2022. We were unable to do the other vaccinations. Girl, loves to play and enjoys brief cuddles. They both really like food over most things especially if it's been wet a little bit with water ( I can probably donate a 12lbs bag or so of their food-American journey chicken grain free). I am hoping to have them rehomed as a bonded pair.

I got her 2 years ago and it’s hard for me to let her go but since I just recently have a baby it’s being difficult to take time for her. She is so lovely and playful

Very friendly cat. She is good with other cats and dogs and she is good with kids. She just has anxiety and doesn’t do well with big changes. We have a 2month old and a 2yr old and as everyone knows that comes with a lot of constant change. She really has a great personality and is very adventurous.

Chanel is an adventurous 9-month-old kitten from the Fashion 5, and she has a BIG personality! Spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, she loves to chat, purr, and play.   She absolutely adores water—whether it’s in the sink, the tub, or even a glass, she’s fascinated by it! She’s also a total foodie and gets sassy when it’s time to eat. Chanel gets along well with other cats and even dogs.   Bold, loving, and full of energy, Chanel is ready to find a forever family that will adore her just as much as she’ll adore them! She must go to a home with another cat or can be adopted with her brothers, Burberry and Armani. This sweet girl will bring laughter and joy to your life for hours! Interested in adopting Chanel?

Tora is a 4.5 yo male. Tora means tiger in Japanese, and he's definitely a lazy little tiger. Despite much love from his family, he was unhappy when a baby was introduced into the family two years ago and has retreated from being a happy family member. He's a big baby who wants to be the only baby and have your undivided attention. He's very food oriented, sometimes likes to play but really just wants to snuggle and be pet with all of your love. This is not a decision we came to lightly, but we really want Tora to receive the attention and love that he deserves without the stress of our very active toddler. We are hoping to find a loving home for him to become a part of. He becomes very stressed with the addition of other cats, so probably needs to be alone. We have not introduced him to dogs but have a feeling it would be a similar reaction. We can give all health and vaccination records.

Beast (7) is a handsome, playful, sweet mischievous boy, he likes to spend his days either in our fenced-in backyard or sleeping in a little corner, box or any general pile of whatever. He gets along well with his other dog and cat siblings as well. I believe he needs a home where he can play hard and sleep hard. He has a tendency to knead with his claws when he's happy, but I was also able to trim his nails a few times with some patience. He likes to run along your legs and trip you up (especially if you have wet food for him!) He's pretty outgoing and most likely be okay with adjusting with time. We're rehoming bc even though we have plenty of litter boxes (he does use those boxes too) and he's fixed he still pees outside the box. He deserves a home that can take the time and finances to work through the issues he has. He's used to going outside and running around in the backyard with our dog so a home with a fence would be preferred or a way for him to get his energy out.

Maui(8) is a giant lovable cat, like the character he was named after. When inside he prefers to hide under our couch, or in a room under a bed, he comes out when it is quiet and wants all the pets! If there are loud noises or sudden moves he runs away. However, when he's comfortable he's a huge lover boy! He will meow for his pets and will jump up to get pet head to toe. He goes outside occasionally and hangs underneath our shed, or lies in the grass. He is prone to getting a few mats on the back of his legs. The reason I have to re-home is even though we have plenty of litter boxes (he does use those boxes too) and he's fixed he still goes (pees/poops) outside the box as well. We believe it might be a medical issue. He's a nervous boy so he'll need lots of time and gentle patience when he gets re-homed but if you show him love, he will warm up in no time. Being with his brother Beast would likely help, but I also understand that might be rare.
