Boyce

Tinkerbell
Age: 2 months old
Gender: 1 Male, 1 Female
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Color: White and Grey
Purr-sonality: ​​​​​​​​​Boyce, named for the pro wrestler Boyce LeGrand, is an active, sporty and playful kitten. He is good-natured and gets along with cats and dogs, toddlers, and seniors alike. He was a hand raised bottle baby so he views people as his family. Darling Tinkerbell has the most unusual coloring. Technically she is a dilute calico - her body is white, she has gray spots between her ears, and is pale peach on her hind legs and tail. With her gorgeous fluffiness she is a beauty. Tink is dog, cat, and toddler friendly having been raised as a bottle baby with a nanny dog and a feline "Mr. French." Tink is sweet and loving, playful and loves her littermates.

Sage

Age: 2 months old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: Grey Tabby
Purr-sonality: ​​​​​​​​​Sage is one of a litter of five kittens whose mother disappeared from the farm where she was living. The farm owner asked for help, and they were so young they had to be bottle fed. Sage was raised with a nanny dog and a male caretaker kitty in a home with a toddler, a school ager, and adults. Sage can handle anything. She is alternately a daredevil and a sweetheart, playful and loving.

Oscar

Age: 8 months old
Gender: Male
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Color: Grey and White
Purr-sonality: ​​​​​​​​​Oscar is a beautiful dark gray and white (with darker tabby stripes) teen kitty. He came from a dire situation, near starvation. He and his "family" of about 20 cats were covered in fleas and lice, had Giardia and upper respiratory infections, yet remained friendly though scared. Oscar is very shy and it takes him a long time to relax around people so he needs an adopter who is experienced with shy cats. Oscar is very friendly with a small dog and after a proper introduction gets along with cats. He is very playful. He enjoys being brushed and petted, but only when he is confident he trusts someone. With each day he is becoming more and more relaxed around his foster home. Oscar is a very pretty cat with a big plumey tail and fluffy ruff. He is looking for a home with patient adopters who will give him time to adapt and relax. He would enjoy having a small cat-friendly dog or kitty pal. He would do best with older school aged children and up. Toddlers would be too much for him.

Mulan

Age: 2 months old
Gender: Female
Breed: Siamese
Color: Tan and Brown
Purr-sonality: ​​​​​​​​This petite dynamo will be small like her mother, but that does not hold her back. She is playful, active, cuddly and smart. She was part of a litter of 7 kittens born in a shed to a supposedly feral mother - however she turned out to be very friendly and the kittens are too. Their spay dates have been scheduled, their kitten shots are in progress, momma tested negative for FeLV and FIV, and she will be microchipped at spay. Mulan is a cutie pie with huge blue eyes and Seal Pt coloring.

Melody

Meg
Age: 2 months old
Gender: Females
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: Black
Purr-sonality: ​​​​​​​Melody and her twin Meg are very difficult to tell apart unless they are side by side. However, they do have different purr-sonalities. Melody is a lover. She purrs on contact and loves to be held close. she is also playful and romps with her sisters.She was part of a litter of 7 kittens born in a shed to a supposedly feral mother - however she turned out to be very friendly and the kittens are too. the mother was a blue eyed Siamese so we suspect Melody will have green eyes. Green eyes black cats are so 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.

Adoption Pending Norie

Age: 2 years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: Black
Purr-sonality: ​​​​Norie's story is one of sadness and loss, a sweet little gal looking to belong somewhere she can be herself - an independent, quietly reserved, but placid indoor kitty. Her story, as we know it, begins one morning at a local veterinary hospital. As staff arrived they noticed a carrier sitting by the side of the building. Upon investigating they found a very pregnant black kitty, probably only around a year of age, crammed into a small carrier with no food or water. Grateful she at least was not dumped uncontained, they contacted animal control to come get her. Since she was pregnant a foster home was found for her to have her kittens. They were born and she was an attentive and loving mother, although she was frightened by the large resident dogs. The foster was tempted to keep her, but did not trust her dogs, so the kittens were taken away for adoption and Norie was returned to the shelter. Unfortunately the shelter noises - dogs barking, attendants talking, and many cats meowing, proved to be overwhelming to Norie and she retreated to the back of her kennel to hide under her bed for days. The staff attempted to interact with her, but she emotionally withdrew - sad over the loss of her kittens and scared of her new reality. Soon the shelter made the decision that she was not adoptable as is and would be euthanized. Her only hope was a rescue.
We were notified of her situation.This rescue contacted one of our best fosters for working with shy or aloof cats and she agreed to take her on. Since then Norie has made progress. She has a routine she follows every day. She greets the foster every morning for breakfast and some pets, then grooms herself and plays a little. She then goes to her cat tree where she either looks out the window or curls up for a little nap (noises are often heard during the night indicating she is playing with her toys by herself). Throughout the day she self-amuses. Norie has snack time and meets the foster to stick her nose in the snack bag to see what treats there are for her. In the evening, she sits near the foster for about an hour before dinner. She comes to the foster for pets, her dinner, and then goes off to do her own thing.
Norie is very low-maintenance. She tolerates other cats and causes no problems with them. If you are looking for a cat that can independently amuse herself while you are gone during the workday, enjoy a little petting and interaction at dinner time, and play by herself at night, Norie is purr-frect for the job. She is quite content with peacefulness, solitude, and affection.

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.

Oen

​Age: 1 year old
Gender: Male
Breed: Siamese
Color: White
Purr-sonality: Oen, which means little lamb in Welsh, is a Siamese mix youngster with taupe markings and blue eyes. He was born with some cranio-facial abnormalities, resulting in one eye with the third eyelid not completely opened and some incomplete sinus cavities. He sees well, but the rescue does plan to have surgery done this spring to open the eye up. His other issue is because of the sinus problems he sneezes a lot and can sound congested - because he is! None of this slows this boy down. He is very active and playful. He is a maniac with a feather stick and once he has captured it he runs off with it and won't let anyone near it - quite funny and cute.He is too rowdy for young children, but for older elementary aged children and up, he is all about the play and the loves. We hope Oen will find a home with someone who does not care about his looks or his congestion issues, but until then we would like to find him a foster home where he has more room to be his highly entertaining self. Having a similarly aged buddy would be perfect. A foster-to-adopt home would be ideal, while waiting for his surgery. Oen has been neutered, is up to date on shots, tested negative for FeLV and FIV, been microchipped, deflead, and dewormed. An application, safety homecheck, landlord approval if renting, and an adoption fee are required. Discount to seniors, military/veterans, and with proof of disability. He must not be a cat who is allowed to free roam. Indoor only with a catio or supervised on a leash in a fenced yard would be ideal.

Genevieve

Age: 1 year old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Shorthair
Color: Tortoiseshell and White
Purr-sonality: Genevieve (Jen) is a survivor of an emergency c-section. It was probably her tortitude that pulled her through. For Tortie lovers, who know and understand the "tude," torties are fun cats. Torties like Jen know their own mind, and in their mind they are the boss. They are affectionate but opinionated, loving but feisty, smart and active. Jen loves to play with kittens but growls at adult cats. Small dogs don't seem to bother her as long as they keep their distance. She does not like to be confined to small spaces but likes to know where the people are at all times. With her gorgeous coloring she stands out, but she decides when someone may pet her - and then rewards you with kitty kisses. She has a bit of a hand fetish and will gently attack human hands, then turn around and clean the same hand. Not really a child's pet, but would make a very fun pet to those adults who know and love Torties.

Minnie

Age: 6 years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Shorthair
Color: Black and White/Tuxedo
​Purr-sonality: Named Minnie because of her resemblance to Minnie Mouse, Minnie is a queenly cat. Minnie is very particular about whom she likes. If she does not like you, she will ignore you. If she likes you, she is constantly weaving circles around your legs. Minnie is an all-around sweetheart. It has been discovered that she really prefers women to men. She is very sensitive and does not get along with other cats without patience and time. She would do best with a single or couple, but she does love cat friendly kids. She does not need constant attention, so can handle her pet parents being away working, but she is always ready for some petting and chin scratching whenever you are. She prefers to come to you for some head bumps or weaving between your legs. She curls her head to the side and is in bliss, gazing at you and you know she is smiling, but, when she is done she lets you know. She is very clean, soft as silk, loves her carpet scratching post, and can entertain herself for long stretches gazing out at the world through the window. She enjoys the highest perch on a cat tree where she can survey her queendom. She prefers wet food, but will eat dry food if mixed in with wet. She has dainty manners and will gently take a treat from your hand.

Adoption Pending Marco

Age: 9 years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Domestic Shorthair
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.
