Poppy

Age: 6 months old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Color: Calico
​Purr-sonality: ​​​Poppy was found in Dunsmuir. Her mother is a tortie feral who was trapped and spayed. Poppy is about six months according to the person who has been watching over the feral mother. She is a sweet, sweet girl! She is a sweet, sweet girl and will be a wonderful companion for someone! She has been fixed a couple of days ago, tested (negative) and has had her first round of shots. She will have boosters on Jan 6th and then will be ready to go.. She has beautiful soft fur and markings. She is still a little timid but she wants to play. I let her roam in my spare bedroom today and in just a short time she came from under the bed and wanted me to pet her. This is a nice kitty! We don't know her well enough yet to know how she is with children, dogs, or other cats, but she is young enough to learn.

​Twinkle

Age: 13 years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Long Hair
Color: Brown Tabby and White
​Purr-sonality: ​​​Twinkle, or "Twinky" as she is nicknamed is a no-nonsense, easy keeper who would make a great companion. She is 13 years young and uses the litter box just fine. She is a really nice kitty who gets along with other cats and tolerates dogs. Twinky is an easy keeper, no drama kind of kitty, who just enjoys being. She plays a little, cuddles, enjoys window-watching, and sitting in the sun on the porch on a cool day. In warm weather Twinky enjoys sitting on the porch in the shade. Twinky would do very well as an indoor cat with access to a catio.

Beau Brummel

Age: 2 years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Main Coon
Color: Grey/Blue/Silver and White
​Purr-sonality: ​​This handsome and dapper gentleman in his grey and white tuxedo was named for the famous arbiter of Regency fashion. Beau is a large cat who still needs to gain a little more weight after his experiences living on the streets for awhile. This gentleman has charming manners and a very loving demeanor. Beau is also VERY chatty and will carry on a conversation with you as long as you keep it up. Beau is an excellent office helper and knows his way around a printer and computer quite well. His keyboarding still needs some work though. He has a tendency though to want to sit on the desk or office table to keep the paperwork in order and sneak in a few chin scratches if he cab. Beau is very outgoing and people-oriented. However he tolerates dogs and other cats with practiced ease - if they are being annoying, he just finds a more private spot and ignores them. If they are being friendly he will indulge in a little mutual grooming or looking out windows side by side. He gets along well with another cat named Cowboy. they could be adopted together or separately, Both have tested positive for FIV, both are large cats, and both are very affectionate. Beau would do well in a quieter type of home, where there are affectionate people. Older school age kids and up are good. He would be quite large for young children. Beau is a great guy but due to the FIV MUST be indoor-only.

Cowboy

Age: 2 years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: Black
​Purr-sonality: ​​Cowboy was found near a cattle-raising country town, so the name Cowboy suits him. He appeared to have been abandoned but due to his extremely friendly nature he struck up a friendship with several folks in the neighborhood who started feeding him. One home in particular was struck by his loving nature and decided to get him neutered and introduce him to her indoor cat. Unfortunately, when he went to the vet, they discovered he was FIV positive. The home owner did not want the cat to mingle with her indoor cat (although research has shown FIV does not spread among cats that are fixed and do not fight) so she asked the vet practice to put him down. Not feeling comfortable about this the vet practice reached out to this rescue and we took him in. Cowboy is a delightful kitty. He is obviously well-fed (i.e. chunky) and is always ready for his next meal. Cowboy has adapted well to indoor life - FIV+ cats should not be outside where they can be exposed to cat diseases and parasites. Keeping them healthy is the path to them living a normal life with a normal life expectancy. One could not ask for a sweeter kitty pal - except maybe his buddy Beau Brummell. The two get along and are both FIV+. Adopting them both together would be great, but it is not a requirement. We do not know how Cowboy is with dogs, but he tolerates other cats fine as long as they do not attack him. He is playful but his favorite thing to do is hang out with people and get LOTS of "lovins." Cowboy is a large cat so we recommend a home with no one younger than 6 years old - he is heavy and young child would struggle to pick him up. Cowboy DOES like to be held but is nervous during the lifting process, probably he has been dropped before. Someone who knows how to pick up a cat safely and has the strength to do it will find him very affectionately nuzzling their neck and purring away.

Sierra

Age: 1 year old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: Black
​Purr-sonality: ​​Sierra was found with her three kittens living behind a gas station on a busy road trying to find scraps of food to eat. They were all semi feral and very afraid. That was almost a year ago and sadly as is all too common today, Sierra was a kitten having kittens. The kittens tamed easily and found loving homes and now it is Sierra's turn. She is about a year and a half and has a solid black shiny coat. She is good with other cats and used to dogs both small and large. In the beginning, when she saw me she would run away and when I had put the food down and moved a safe distance away, only then would she come and eat. That behavior lasted many months until she finally understood that there was nothing to fear. Now Sierra jumps up on the deck when she sees me coming and lets me rub her head and pet her. I can pick her up for vet appointments but she will stiffen up. She has mellowed tremendously but still has those moments when she will run away and wait. Sierra needs an experienced cat owner or someone who understands a wounded soul and is prepared to be patient and devote time and affection to a young cat who I believe will make a great companion. There is nothing mean about Sierra - even when I would reach to hold her she never tried to bite or scratch me. With other cats, she is an easy keeper, a blender who doesn't want to be the center of attention. Sierra is healthy, spayed, vaccinated and Felv/Fiv negative. She knows her name and will come when called unless she is having one of those days when she is feeling fearful. Although she loves the outdoors, I think she could easily transition to indoor only as long as she has a window to look out from.

Astra

Age: 2 years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: White
​Purr-sonality: ​​Astra is the mother of Izzy. She was rescued near starvation from an abandoned home with approximately 20 other cats. Astra was pregnant at the time and ended up giving birth to another litter of kittens soon after rescue. Initially fearful and with no idea of what it was like to be a cozy secure housecat, Astra has slowly warmed up and turned into a cautious but nice kitty. She loves hanging out in the kitchen "helping" load the dishwasher and supervising the meal prep. Her nickname is "Beepers" because of her cute little noises. Like her daughter Izzy she does not meow. She loves spending time with her foster family who are all adults. She has no experience with children. There are other cats in the home and she has also slowly grown to be ok with them. However, Astra would adore being the one and only cat in someone's life. She is able to keep herself amused while the adults are working and enjoy time with them when they are home. She needs someone patient who will let her warm up slowly to her adopters. Once she does she will continue to bloom. She has no experience with dogs.

Mysti

Age: 6 years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: Grey/Blue/Silver and White
​Purr-sonality: ​​Mysti is a sweet and sensitive girl with a calm disposition. Her owners moved out of their home and unfortunately left Mysti behind. She was found sitting on the porch in the cold waiting for someone to come home. Thankfully the neighbors heard her cries and were able to take her in temporarily. I think she is around 6 years old. She has been spayed, tested negative for Felv/Fiv and has all her shots. She has mild tartar on her teeth and is scheduled for a dental on January 7th so she would be available for adoption after the 14th. Mysti is around other cats and gets on well with them. If a cat is aggressive with her she will show her displeasure and back off. Mysti is a lover and not a fighter. She is used to both big and little dogs and they don't faze her. Mysti knows her name and comes when called. She longs for love pats and attention but is not needy. She would do well in a calm home with older children or with a single person or couple. She has no bad habits and uses the litter box with no issues. She would be a great indoor cat and the type who would sit in the window and watch the world go by. She also likes the patio and to sit in front of the house. Mysti would make a wonderful companion cat once she has adjusted to her new home.

Roscoe

Age: 1 year old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: Orange Tabby and White
​Purr-sonality: ​Roscoe is a beautiful orange tabby who is approximately 18 months old. He started life living under a church as a kitten with his siblings and was very afraid at first of human contact. With unconditional love and patience, Roscoe has been transformed into a no nonsense, sweet, easy going cat. He is respectful and kind and gets on with other cats and dogs just fine. He is a big cat and yet he is a gentle giant - when other cats try and assert their strength, Roscoe will step aside and not engage in a power struggle. Roscoe would be an easy keeper, he is not demanding at all, and expects very little from you. He is in very good health and is felv/fiv negative, has all his shots and has been neutered. Kids would be fine as long as they are respectful and understand boundaries. If you are looking for a no-drama kitty who will love you unconditionally, Roscoe is the one!

Adoption Pending Zoey

Age: 2 years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: Tortoiseshell
​Purr-sonality: ​Zoey is a sweet tortie girl who has had a hard life. She was left in a run-down apartment with two kittens when her owner skipped town. Someone who lives there contacted me and I was able to get her and the two kittens to safety. The kittens found great homes and now it is Zoey's turn. You can tell that she has had a tough life - whenever you put food down she will gobble it up as quickly as possible and if another cat comes near her plate she will tell them where to go. She will not fight or hurt another cat - she is just vocal and will swat them. Since I have been feeding her at least six feet away from any other cat, she is getting better and realizing that she can take her time to eat. Zoey has been love starved and loves attention although she is not demanding at all. She doesn't expect anything from you but when you show her love she is very happy. Head rubs are a must with this girl and she has come such a long way. She is used to other cats but keeps a safe distance. She is used to noisy big and small dogs and they don't faze her. Zoey is a bit of a loner and is not one of those cats who will curl up with another cat or dog and be best buds. However, she loves humans and will follow me around when I am working outside and watch what I am doing. I think she is a diamond in the rough with some scars from being neglected. She just needs someone to show her consistent love. A home on her own would be ideal but I think she would do fine with just one more cat and/or a dog. Zoey is fixed, vaccinated and tested negative for leukemia. An excellent mouser. She likes both indoor and outdoor.

Cocoa

​Age: 4 years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: Tortoiseshell
​Purr-sonality: Cocoa is approximately four years young and is waiting for a home of her own. She was a painfully thin stray when she found my place; a little afraid and cautious at first and yet when she realized that she was going to have a warm bed and good food, she quickly came around. Cocoa has the most beautiful mottled beige and gray fur coat which makes her stand out in a crowd. She is a relatively passive, quiet girl who minds her own business and just gets on with life. Cocoa does not like drama. She is fine with other cats and tries to make friends with them, and she is calm around dogs both big and small. Cocoa is loving but not needy. In a new home she would be wary at first and hide, but once she realizes that she is part of the family she will soon warm up. She is both indoor and outdoor right now but could easily transition to an indoor only life. Cocoa is spayed, has all her shots and is felv/fiv negative. She is an excellent mouser and and easy keeper.

Susie

​Age: 1 year old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Color: Tabby and White
​Purr-sonality: Susie is a beautiful tabby who is 1 year and 5 months. She was found living under a church with her three siblings. Susie was very scared and shy to begin with but she has slowly come out of her shell and has become quite adventurous. She loves being in a cat tree and watching what you are doing! She is a very observant girl and will follow you around the room with her eyes, hoping you will give her a treat! She loves Rachel Ray's wet food and has a very good appetite. She uses the litter box with no issues and has no bad habits. She is in excellent health and her coat is shiny and she has beautiful, clear eyes. Susie has been tested and is Felv/Fiv negative. She has been spayed and had all her vaccines. Susie would be a great companion for another cat as she is passive and non aggressive. There is nothing demanding about Susie- she is just happy to be with you and lives in the moment. She would be best suited in a peaceful home as loud noises scare her. She would do well with children who are gentle and respectful as she is.

Adoption Pending Hope

Age: 1 year old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Color: Tuxedo
​Purr-sonality: ​​​Hope is a petite one year old (approx.) black and white kitty who had a rough start in life. She was brought into my vet heavily pregnant with no home to go to. She was semi feral and very hissy and afraid. The vet called me and asked if I could take her. I did and I called her Hope because even though the odds were stacked against her, I believed that this girl could be tamed and she could get the home she deserved. Two days later she gave birth to five kittens, all who died within ten days. Poor Hope! She was a kitten having kittens and didn't know how to be a mother - it was very sad and I felt that she was grieving. It was at this time that she began to let me touch her. Slowly at first but then she would come up to me for head rubs. Eventually she started to trust me and I could pick her up! No growling, hissing or running away. I had her fixed and vaccinated and she started to mingle with the other rescues. Hope has been with me for six months and is ready to find her permanent home. She wants to bond with someone and belong. Hope is fine around other cats and is used to dogs. She would do well in a peaceful home without young children because often their actions are loud and quick and Hope is sometimes afraid of quick, sudden movements. Loud noises scare her. She loves food and this is the way to her heart. No bad habits and she uses the litter box just fine.

Grace

Age: 3 years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Color: Tuxedo
​Purr-sonality: ​​Grace is a gentle and sweet girl who is an easy keeper. She was named Grace because of her demeanor - she is mellow, patient and kind. Grace was dumped in someone's back yard when she was pregnant. She gave birth to three kittens, all who found forever homes and now it is Grace's turn. Grace has been spayed and is up to date with her vaccines. She loves being indoors and outdoors but would transition well to an indoor only environment. Even when she is outside, she usually hangs around on the deck or close to the house. Grace is about three and a half years old and gets along with other cats very well as long as they are not aggressive.

Raleigh

Age: 5 months old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Color: Black
​Purr-sonality: Raleigh (pronounced Ray-Lee) is a love machine once she knows someone. You just cannot turn her off - so she needs a home where the people will be able to provide her with lots of attention. She is playful and gets along with other cats once properly introduced and given time to trust them. Until she knows them she will hiss. Raleigh is not a large cat. She has a delicate and graceful build similar to a ballerina - she can leap and pirouette mid-air. Her favorite place though is on someone's lap being petted. She rolls her ears back so she can get the full effect of being loved on and head bunts with serious power. With her fluffy black fur and huge owl-like round gold eyes, she is very pretty.

Adoption Pending Patches

Age: 4 years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Calico
Color: Calico
​Purr-sonality: This is Patches. She is a beautiful tri color girl, approx. four - five years old. She was a very thin stray who just showed up at my place and wouldn't leave. I thought at first that she was lost but nobody claimed her and she wasn't microchipped. Patches is a very sweet girl - calm demeanor, loves attention but is not over needy. She will follow you around but also give you your space. She loves to sit and watch you work and will wait for you to come and give her a pat. Right now now she is indoor and outdoor but that is because I live in a very a safe place on acreage. Patches would do very well as an indoor only cat and as you can see from the photos, she loves to curl up in a soft bed. She is litter box trained, has no bad habits and is in good health. She gets on well with other cats and will back off if another cat is showing aggression. Patches is a peaceful girl and a quiet, peaceful home would be the perfect place for this kind soul. She would do well with children who are gentle like she is.

Adoption Pending Josephine

Age: 3 years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Calico
Color: Calico
Purr-sonality: ​Josephine, or Josey as we call her, came to us from an abandonment situation. On July 3rd an unknown person dropped her off, hugely pregnant, at Kneeland Glen. A kind woman, who felt she could not leave her out there about ready to deliver, took her home and set her up in her bathroom. Soon she gave birth to 6 kittens. She was a good mother. another rescue showed interest in the kittens but was not interested in the momma cat. We were contacted and took her into the rescue. She has had all her basic vetting except for her final FVRCP (scheduled for 10/15/20). Josey is very social and friendly. Right now, after feeding 6 kittens for 8 weeks, she is trying to recover her normal weight and is very interested in eating her meals - waiting for breakfast and dinner about an hour before scheduled. Josey has a very cute gravelly meow and quite the talker. She will carry on a conversation with you as long as you keep it going. She is on the larger size for a female, and once she has recovered her pre-pregnancy weight she will be gorgeous.

Izzy

Age: 5 months old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Color: White and Brown
Purr-sonality: ​​​​​​Beautiful Izzy comes from a very hard knock life. She was rescued near starvation from an abandoned home with approximately 20 other cats. She was 4 months old and weighed 2 lbs - the weight of an 8 week old kitten. She had ear mites, Giardia, and a bad upper respiratory infection. One of her ears was raw and bleeding. Bedraggled, emaciated, filthy, patches of hair missing, she was a terrible sight to see. Even worse, she tested positive for FIV, which makes her need regular veterinary care and 100% indoor only. FIV results in a greater susceptibility to cat diseases but she is not contagious to other cats unless involved in deep biting or sexual contact. There is no cat less likely to bite than Izzy. She is a gentle, sweet soul who wants only to be petted, cuddled and held softly. Izzy is famous for getting the most out of a loving touch that she can - she rolls around trying to get touches on each part of her body. She is due to be spayed July 7th so she is available for a foster-to-adopt placement with the right caretakers. Izzy is still very kitten-like and she loves to play with toys. Her early kittenhood was devoted to scrounging for food in trash cans and trying to survive. She is friendly toward other cats and has a passive demeanor. Izzy would thrive in any type of gentle loving home. She is ripe to deeply bond with her caretakers. Because of her special needs applicants will need to be committed to making sure she stays on her supplements, gets twice yearly vet checkups, and stay on top of her dental needs. With that kind of care she can live a normal life span - FIV is NOT a death sentence - it is health condition that can be managed with just a little care.

P.J.

Age: 8 years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Domestic Long Hair
Color: Tuxedo
Purr-sonality: ​This 8 yr old fellow, P.J., was living contentedly with his owner, a paraplegic Vietnam Veteran, who had rescued him off the streets, when a tragic house fire occurred. Somehow P.J. survived event although his owner did not. His kind-hearted neighbor, who happens to foster for us, took him in and cared for him until the owner's son was able to make decisions about the future of many things, PJ included. PJ suffered from smoke inhalation but kept returning to his home crying throughout the burned ruins. We were concerned for his health and safety but it was impossible to contain him inside. Once the son decided to let P.J. be surrendered in order to find him a new home, we were able to get him the necessary vetting he needed. The vet describes him as a very nice boy, who just wants to loved on. His current foster describes him as a wonderful boy who is still grieving. P.J. needs a new start with someone loving and kind, someone who can help heal his grieving heart. He has lived his whole life as an indoor-outdoor cat but does enjoy being warm and cozy. At his age, it is time to give him all the comforts and only let him outside if he demands it.

Marco

Age: 10 years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: Black
​Purr-sonality: Meet the intrepid Marco. Named for the explorer Marco Polo, this guy has exploration and discovery down to a science. Famous for exploring the entire veterinary office when he was first rescued, he is a favorite with the vet staff. Marco adores people and gets along with most cats once he knows them. He has a huge purr and loves snuggles and pets more than food. He was very thin when first rescued and is starting to fill out now he has had regular food and a warm bed in which to sleep. We would love for him to have a senior to foster him. He would keep someone great company. He is a nice boy who interacts easily with both adults and cat-friendly children. Marco is an affection machine. He stands up to give your hand a head bunt, grabs your hand with both paws to let you know he doesn't want you to stop petting him, and he follows you around like a lost puppy. Simply a wonderful loving companion who will bring you much joy. Like a fine wine he has improved with age. Marco gets along with other cats too.
