Just like his name suggests, Co**ha is sweet and compelling!

He's not as bold or spicy as some of his siblings, but that doesn't mean Co**ha is any less delightful. In fact, for the right person, his sugar-crusted personality might be just what you need! He's playful and friendly, and ready to settle down with his humans for a cup of your favorite warm drink and a snuggle once playtime is over.

Co**ha's perfect home:
🍞 Soft places to nap and cuddle
🍞 Toys and playtime!

There's a reason Co**ha is so popular: come see why for yourself!

Come say hi to River, because he's definitely going to say hi to you!

Despite what his beautiful tiger stripes and big bark might make you think, River is actually a big baby who loves nothing more than to be loved on and return that love with plenty of sloppy wet kisses. But watch out! River is definitely a ladies' man, and he'll steal your heart faster than you can blink!

River's definitely an outdoorsy type, and loves playing with his brother Moose, short walks, and long runs. He might pretend to throw his weight around and be bossy, but it's all an act that crumbles as fast as you can pet him.

River's perfect home:
🫧 Outside time to walk, run, and play!
🫧 Humans who enjoy kisses and love
🫧 Treats and attention!

Come visit River, and see if he could be your next best friend!

If you're looking for a big boy full of love, you can't go wrong with Moose!

Moose has a heart as big as his namesake. He's a gentle and well-behaved boy who loves attention and showering people with love. He may be shy at first, but once he has a chance to open up to you, he's the most playful boy you'll ever meet!

His favorite things in the world are time outside to play (especially with his brother, River!) and plenty of wet food whenever he can get it!

Moose's perfect home:
🫎 A yard big enough to play in and plenty of outside time!
🫎 Humans who will dote on and spoil him
🫎 People who will give him time to warm up to them at his pace
🫎 Plenty of wet food!

Come say hi to Moose, and you may just be walking out with a gentle giant of your very own.

On today's forecast, we have a 100% chance of Stormy.

Like a far-off thunderstorm in the middle of the night, her vibe is cozy and chill. She's a cat who is more enamored with people and spending time with them rather than toys, though those never hurt to have around! She came to us as a mama of two and showcased how calm and loving she is, like you're one of her own. She may look like a stormy grey cat, but trust that this beautiful queen will bring all the sunshine and color into your life. Stormy will make for a warm and welcome addition into her person's life, and that could be you.

Stormy's perfect home:
⛈️ Moderate to low activity and noise level home
⛈️ Great with other cats!
⛈️ No dogs, she does not like them at all
⛈️ Loooooves wet food

Cuddle up with some 24/7 lo-fi beats and cozy on into a life with Stormy.

Thelma's shootin' for the stars--and is after your heart!

Thelma is a super sweet and friendly gal with a lot of love and fun to show off. She loves her stuffed toys and will cuddle them if she isn't already cuddling you. Adorably goofy and delightful, Thelma is prone to give you sloppy kisses when you need them most (or not at all, you must always accept Thelma kisses regardless) and may or may not forget how to get off the couch sometimes (it be like that). Being a lab mix, she'd make for the perfect family dog and would appreciate lots of time and energy with her human(s). One look into her sweet honey eyes and you might just find yourself taking her home. She'll value you just as much as you'll value her.

Howdy! Meet Roadie.

Roadie is a bit of a casanova, always putting on the charm for you whenever you walk by. He's a chatty boy who loves his beds and toys, and will scamper around like a little rascal when he's revving up for a good time.

Roadie came to us with some health issues which he's been able to overcome. He has lingering issues which require a little extra care, such as anxiety-related fur mowing (pulling his hair). The best remedy for him is plenty of "muscle shirts" to cover him; it's also just super stylish. Dressing the part of a cowboy is a must for his overall well-being!

Roadie's perfect home:
🐎 Does well with most cats (preference for female cats)
🐎 A home with moderate activity/energy levels
🐎 Companion/buddy for him to play with is appreciated!
🐎 Outfits/anxiety jacket for his well-being is a must.

Come hoedown with Roadie! You just might come home with the coolest cowboy 'round.
