Meet Layla — A Little Heart Full of Love
Hi, I’m Layla, a sweet little girl just waiting for someone to call my own.

I may be a little shy when we first meet, but underneath that reserved exterior is a heart full of love just waiting to blossom. Once I feel safe and know I can trust you, my sweet personality shines through, and you’ll discover that my favorite place in the whole world is right beside you... or even better, curled up in your lap.

Born July 2026

Celeste will instantly hook you with her darling fuzzy cheeks & gentle purrs. She is from a litter of lucky polydactyl kittens who all have dazzling personalities.

Celeste and her siblings didn’t always appear so lucky. They were brought to us severely malnourished with terrible respiratory infections & other medical concerns. With weeks of careful monitoring & medications, they recovered beautifully. Of course, our efforts were only half the battle. These brave & determined sweethearts showed tremendous strength & courage throughout.

Adopt Milo (m), Maisie (f), Max (m), and Millie (f)! Born around 8/2/26, these sweet siblings were found outside in need of love and care. Milo and Maisie are tabby and white. Max is gray and white. Millie is black and white. They are playful, affectionate and very snuggly.

Born August 2025

Odie is everyone’s best friend. He’s a gentle, loving soul who thrives on connection through pets, playtime, and peaceful days.

Odie was raised in a home with children, dogs, & other kitties so he’s familiar & comfortable with many environments. He is very curious to start & will spend the first few days sniffing out & exploring all corners of the house before claiming your lap. He’s docile yet energetic and adores his people and will not hesitate to ask for belly rubs.

While Odie is a great communicator, letting you know his needs & thoughts, he has a very quiet & raspy meow so you’ll want to listen carefully.

Through every challenge, Delilah proved what an incredible mother she is. She kept her babies safe, nurtured them with endless love, and watched them grow into healthy, beautiful kittens.
