Sterling is a tender and attuned gray tabby. He was the last of his litter to be rescued and was nervous at first but quickly realized that pets feel wonderful. He's become very affectionate and even starting to learn how to play with his siblings again. Once he connects with you, he will want lots of pets and love and will even flop in your lap to relax and go for some belly pets. He would do well with someone who will be patient, sensitive, and big hearted with him. He needs to be adopted with her other siblings, Isla, Chickadee, Rudy or Misty or live in a home with another young cat.

Rudy is a spunky cutie pie. The lightning bolts of white across her face and side suit her zingy personality. Though she is likely the runt of her litter and started off more scrappy and reserved, she has blossomed into an energetic, robust girl. She is bound to make you giggle, loves hiding and then popping out during playtime, and likes pets and rubs. She would do well with someone who appreciates the small, quirky, and powerful and

will make her life loving and fun. Rudy needs to be adopted with her other siblings, Isla, Chickadee, Misty or Sterling or live in a home with another young cat.

Pepperoni lives up to his name! He loves to eat and is working hard to maintain his rotund shape! Pepperoni is VERY friendly. He LOVES to be held and will just flop in your hands, lap, arms, or wherever he can cuddle. You can hold out your arms and he will run straight to you to be picked up! Pepperoni is a playful kitten and needs a buddy to do kitteny things with. When ordering (adopting) Pepperoni, another topping (sibling) can be included; like his sister Pepper.

Pepper is all sweetness and no spice! She is a very friendly kitten and has never met a stranger. Pepper is like a little puppy and will follow you everywhere. You can have your very own shadow! Better yet, Pepper is a big helper and will always be near in case you need anything while brushing your teeth, washing your face, or choosing your outfit for the day. Pepper is also a talented sous chef! She is always there to help with preparing her meals and to provide assistance as needed. Another one of Pepper's many talents is purring! She has the loudest PURR and will start purring as soon as she sees you. Pepper is most content just being close to you. Please give this adorable kitten a chance! Unfortunately, because of the color of her fur, she has a harder time getting adopted. Trust me. After meeting her, you will be wrapped around her paw!

Raven loves to play with her mother, Birdie. She’s a calm, sweet girl with a little bit of mischief! Once she gets her zoomies out, she enjoys laying next to you or in your lap for nap time. She would love to be adopted with her mother, Birdie, or into a home with another young cat. She has been spayed, microchipped, and is ready for adoption now.

Birdie has been a great mom to her 6 kittens, and now she is looking for her forever home! She is a sweet girl who loves to sit next to you or in your lap for attention. She has also become much more playful as her kittens have weaned. She is only at baby herself at about one year old! She is spayed and ready for adoption now. She is missing her kittens who have been adopted, so she would love to be adopted with her daughter, Raven, or into a home with another young cat.

When Nyx first appeared in November 2025, she'd dart beneath the porch to hide. But every evening, she'd reappear on the Ring camera, calling out like the princess she is until her evening meal was served. After a couple weeks of coaxing (and plenty of irresistible food), she decided indoor life was more suitable for royalty, pushed her way inside, and made herself right at home. Unfortunately, the resident cat court was not pleased with this outsider and demanded her removal at once.
At an estimated 18 months old, Princess Nyx now has her own private quarters in her foster mom's office while she waits for her forever kingdom.
