Brie is a beautiful tabby/white cat who came in from an unfortunate situation with her kitten. She was abandoned in an apartment with her kitten when the owners moved out and left them behind to fend for themselves. Fortunately, some kind person took them in until we had room to take them. Brie is a bit on the shy side but seems friendly, social and playful and is still adjusting to shelter life. Beautiful girl who just needs someone to love her!
Sage is a beautiful female brown tabby kitten who came in from an unfortunate situation. She was abandoned in an apartment with her mom when the owners moved out and left them behind to fend for themselves. Fortunately, some kind person took them in until we had room to take them. Sage is fun, playful, social and would do great in any home with another cat or kitten to play with. Beautiful girl with beautiful eyes!
Roxy came to the shelter as a stray cat when she wasn’t claimed. She was injured and after an X-ray, it was found that she had a broken bone in her right, front leg. We gave it time to heal, which it did not. It was determined the only way she could live pain free was to have a front leg amputation. She is doing fantastic since her surgery. She is sassy as most torti’s are but she is also loving, friendly, playful and independent.
Reggie is an adorable boy who came in with his siblings and has the cutest black nose! He is social, playful, friendly and loving. He would do great in any home with another cat or kitten to play with. Handsome boy!
Pebbles is a beautiful female calico cat who came in as a stray cat very malnourished, with a bad upper respiratory infection and lice. It took awhile for her to get better but once she got the food and medication she so desperately needed, she turned a corner and blossomed into a loving, playful, social and fun cat who loves people and her toys! She’s a stunning girl!
Stanley is a very handsome light gray tabby kitten who came in with his siblings. He is very social, loving, friendly and playful. He would do best in a home with another cat or kitten to play with. Very handsome boy!
Iris is a beautiful female seal point Siamese cat who is about 3 yrs old. She came in as a stray cat when a very kind couple rescued her from extreme cold. Sadly, she has lost part of her ears due to the freezing temps and has a scar on her right cornea from a prior injury but otherwise seems to be doing just fine now that she is safe. She is social and friendly and is still adjusting to shelter life. She should do well in any home with time and patience to adjust. Beautiful girl!
Everly is a beautiful female cat about a year old who has tabby, white and torti markings. She was rescued by kind people in very cold weather over the holidays and came to us when she wasn’t claimed. She is very social and friendly and would do well in any home. Stunning markings!
Libby is a beautiful female gray/black tabby with beautiful tabby swirls! She came in through the city pound when she wasn’t claimed. She is social, friendly, playful and LOVES people. She seems to do just fine with other cats and would probably fit in most any home. Beautiful girl!
Licorice is a beautiful female black/white long haired cat who came in through the city pound when she wasn't claimed. She is going to need time to adjust to a new home as of right now, she's not thrilled with the other cats. She is beautiful, playful and social so she would do fine in any home either by herself or with one other cat. Beautiful Girl!!
Chex is a very handsome tabby/white male cat who came in through another rescue as a stray cat. He is fun, friendly, social and playful and would do well in any home with kids or adults. He seems to do well with other cats as well. Fun boy!
Ember is a beautiful female black torti who came in when she was dumped on someone’s property as a stray kitten. She is still adjusting to shelter life so she’s still a bit on the shy side. She would probably do just fine in any home with another cat or kitten or by herself. Beautiful girl!

Brandee was rescued from the streets as a stray cat by a kind person. It appears as though she was cared for at one time but since she has been on her own her a while, she's a bit scared. She is beautiful and loves to be petted but is a bit shy yet. She would do well in any quiet home where she could be given time to come out of her shell. Beautiful girl!
