Griffin is the type of cat that anyone could love, but he is looking for a home with someone who can see how unique he is! With his devilish good looks, this "Brooklyn Blue" is a boroughbred sweetheart with a confident attitude, who is ready to melt into your bed or couch to keep you company, will make an appearance on the Zoom call, and is chill with other cats and dogs. He is a playful guy with a sporty streak, so get ready for lots of playtime to keep him entertained. But after a workout, he's ready to chill out with you and keep you warm all winter long.

Finley is the calmest, sweetest cat you could find. He is a cuddly boy who has a dream of a purr, likes play time and pets, and of course, any treats and snacks you want to give to him. He is a perfect cat for the household ready to bring on a first or second cat, and is a mature, elegant, yet goofy addition to the family. His foster says he is the chillest cat she's ever had, and we believe he'd do well in a household with kids, cats, or dogs, given the proper introductions.

They can be adopted separately (to a home where there's another young kitty) or together as a pair.

Meet Bento Box Blake! Shy at first, this sweet boy warms up quickly after a couple days. Bento needs a good hiding spot in order to get comfortable in new spaces, and even if he’s not ready to come out yet, he loves getting pets and will purr instantly. Once comfortable, he’s a great companion who revels in attention and will follow you as you go about your home. He is a vocal cat and loves to explore and find new hiding spots. He warms up quickly to his humans, but can still be nervous around new experiences (people, noises, etc.).

Betty has just arrived at the shelter and she is already making tons of biscuits! She is a real snuggler who is hoping her stay at the shelter is brief so she can knead her way into the hearts of a new forever family soon!
