Birdie is a sweet girl who seeks love and affection. She is a bit shy but is steadily gaining confidence in her foster home. She sleeps by her foster mama's feet at night, has given the cat-friendly dog a head butt or two, gets along with the other kitties in the home, and is developing into a wonderful, gentle cat. She would like a home where she can continue to come out of her shell and become part of a loving family.
This kitty should get along with kids, other cats, and cat-friendly dogs given proper introductions.
Birdie was born approximately August 29, 2025, and her adoption fee is $105, or adopt two and the second is one-half price. She is spayed, up-to-date on shots and deworming, has a microchip, and tested negative for feline leukemia virus.

Radish and her sister Turnip are two adorable kittens that came to us from a tough situation--a hoarding house. We don't know their full history, but as a result they are shy and can take some time to warm to new people and places. Once they come out of their shell, it's a different story! These kitties love to play, play, play. Then sleep all day! They are very affectionate once they settle in. In fact, Turnip is a "lap cat in training." Little Radish loves to gaze out the window and chase flies. Both will help you finish your breakfast, if allowed. While they don't need a home together, they would benefit from another kitty friend to bond with.

Stella is a 3 year old short hair who loves people, cats and dogs, she loves to cuddle, and play. She like to lay around most of the time she is pretty lazy. She has been around multiple dogs and cats and does great with them all.

Stella is looking for a new home as her owner recently passed away!

Won't you give this sweet girl a new landing spot and all the love?

We'd like to introduce Miss Kitty who is looking for a loving home! She has beautiful eyes and a super pretty tricolor/tabby coat. Her chin, neck, and tummy are white and there is evidence of her "calico-ness" in the soft cocoa color she sports.

As we understand it, Miss Kitty (her name at that time may have been Heinz 57) had been an only cat whose person had passed. She initially was rehomed with a relative who had three small children. After it didn't work out there, she was relinquished to the shelter.

Star is a lovely gray cat with some faint tabby markings. She came to us after being relinquished by her owner. Her owner stated he was not around much at home and she needed more socialization. She is a quiet girl, but starting to play and meow more for attention. She loves to sleep in a scratching post round cubby. She can be petted and held. She should get along fine with other cats that are not aggressive or dominate towards her.
Star was born approximately April 13, 2025, and her adoption fee is $105, or adopt two and the second is one-half price. She is spayed, up-to-date on shots and deworming, has a microchip, and tested negative for feline leukemia virus.

Nicky is a handsome tuxedo boy who is always moving! He has a lot of personality and love to give. He was rescued from a farm colony this winter when he was sick. As Nicky got healthy, his feral qualities emerged. With time he has become a super affectionate, loving kitty. He sleeps next to his foster mom and follows her everywhere she goes. He purrs and meows loudly. Nicky has impaired vision in his right eye but can see just fine from his left eye. Nicky will be best in a home with an experienced cat owner. Cat-savvy older children should be okay also. Nicky lives with another cat and is okay with the foster's cat-friendly dog.

Sequoia may be very timid at first and may take a little time to warm up to new people. Once she does she will start exploring the house and making herself at home. She enjoys pets and sometimes wags her tail like a puppy. She gets along well with other cats and non aggressive dogs. Once her playful side comes out she will be having the zoomies and playing with toys. Wand toys and stuffed mice are her favorite. She has a very laid back personality and is a great little girl

Kormi is a Big Love Bug. Literally, he is a big boy; not fat, just a big super sweet boy. Due to circumstances beyond his control, Kormi had to be rehomed after living with his person for all 7 years of his life. It has been quite an adjustment, but he is doing great and ready to find his forever home to share his love and companionship. Kormi is a lap cat who will snuggle in and give you kisses and headbutts. He also likes for you to carry him around and look out the window with him. Kormi will follow you around and politely sit and watch what you are up to but if you don’t have time to love on him, he will find a place to sit and watch everything that is going on outside. He loves to watch the birds and squirrels or he will just go lounge on the couch and wait for you. He is a good little shadow and will make a great little companion. After he gets settled in to his new home he will likely want to sleep with you if you will let him.
Kormi will do best in a mature home as an only cat or possibly with another good-natured cat but he has never been around dogs. He will do best in a home where he gets lots of attention and is not left alone for long periods of time. He would love it if his owner worked from home or was retired. Kormi has been through a lot, and it is time for him to find his FOREVER loving home with someone who will give him the love, attention, and time he needs to blossom into his beautiful loving self.

Meet Holly and Little Fluffy, bonded sisters, who are calm, patient, gentle, sweet, beautiful little souls. Their world was recently turned upside down when their beloved cat Dad passed away. It’s obvious that they were well loved and cared for. They have loads of love to give to their new family. They are versatile, and would love having their person home with them, but would do well with someone who works all day, provided they get some love and attention when their person is home.Holly flops and purrs when she sees her foster Mom, plus rubs on her. You can’t give her too many pets! Pet, pet, pet, purr, purr purr! She is very confident.
