Missy

She was found along with 7 siblings under my crawlspace in May. She's very patient and loving. My kids have been working with her and her siblings so they're very socialized! She loves to play and climb. If you have indoor plants id keep them out of reach though cause she loves to sleep in the dirt! A habit she most definitely inherited from her mom as they're literally 2 peas in a pod. As well as her princess complex! She loves to be spoiled!

She was quick to take to liter boxes and learns fast with proper redirection. We haven't been around dogs but plenty of kids of all ages. She's very special as she has a moon and a star on her coat! Ready for her forever home!

Update the kitten posted in pic has been picked up but we have others that are in need. We may all medical for fosters.

We need kitten fosters really bad right now. I have some really bad situations that some kittens need rescue from. Some are living in a shed, one a person found and is very allergic and the other the mom made the kid put it outside. please pm me and the kid is incredibly sad. Can you imagine a kid begging you to take a kitten cause he doesn't want it cold and unsafe. very sad please help us!

Meet Moka, a friendly tortie tabby mix. She was found after just giving birth to her kittens and joined our rescue. Now she is looking for a home to call her own. She enjoys lounging near her human to catch a good reality show. Or, if you are eating dinner, she will hop onto an empty chair and stare at you for her dinner! But she has good table manners and doesn't hop onto the table. If you have a young child that likes to do tea parties, then Moka would be a perfect guest!

Missy is a charming and unique cat who knows exactly what she wants! Her low-maintenance lifestyle, combined with her love of food and preference for independence, makes her ideal for a patient, calm household. Given her preference for other cats and her tolerance of dogs, she could be a wonderful companion for a home with other pets, provided they respect her boundaries.

Her need for a quiet environment with a retired couple or a single adult who won't expect cuddles aligns with her desire to be queen of her domain. A family that understands her quirks and allows her to set the pace for interaction would be the perfect match.

Missy deserves a loving, understanding home where she can rule peacefully. For potential adopters looking for an independent yet lovable feline companion, she could be the perfect fit.

This is Maize. She is about 4 years old. She has been spayed and is up to date on all vaccines. She has lived outside for most of her life but was brought inside when it’s cold. She is super sweet, calm, and loves cuddles. She is shy at first but warms up quickly if you let her come to you. She would do best in a home where she’s the only pet.

This handsome boy is Mayfield. He is about 1 year old and is as sweet as the ice cream he is named after! He loves a good snuggle on the couch while relaxing and will happily soak up some sun and a table or cat tree if you are busy. This boy enjoys his people time, but he especially likes men. He chooses his foster dad over mom on a regular basis! He could be fine as an only cat or with another kitty around his age.

Big Beautiful Ears!! 👂 😍
Hey there! This sweet mommas name is Midnight, and she is ready to find her family and settle down. She loves to lay on your chest and get pets, and she is a big fan of food. She does not like dogs and is not a fan of other cats, except for her kitten Bella. You can typically find them cuddling in bed.

Tex is a sweet, gentle cat who’s been with us since he was a kitten. He loves cuddles, is great with kids, and was best friends with his brother cat, who unfortunately passed away. He’s also comfortable around dogs, adaptable, and uses the litter box both indoors and outdoors. He might need a little patience with new cats, but he’s affectionate and ready for a loving home.

Meet Matilda! Matilda came to our rescue from a shelter partner back in April. She was only two weeks old. She was a bottle baby, which means she is extra lovey. We threw in a baby photo for you to see! She battled some health issues when she was little and now she’s finally ready to be adopted to a forever home! Matilda is kind of like a toddler. She wants to play alllllll day and then she falls asleep wherever she’s at. Laundry baskets, on people, on other cats - it doesn’t matter. She sleeps wherever she’s wants! Matilda is so cuddly and has so much love to give. Her personality is bubbly and she brings so much joy to her foster home. She will benefit from a home with other cats that will play with her. Consider adopting her sister Chia with her. They love to play together. She does well with cats, kids, and dogs. All she needs is love, a friend, and a forever family. Consider adding this sweet girl to your family!

Meet Mama Mostarda!

This beautiful dilute calico girl was rescued from the streets by a kind cat lover — just in time for her to safely give birth indoors. Now that her kittens are grown and ready for their own adventures, it’s Mama Mostarda’s turn to find a loving forever home.

She still keeps a watchful eye on her little ones and enjoys lounging near them, showing just how sweet and nurturing she truly is. While she may be a bit shy at first, once she feels comfortable, her affectionate personality shines through.

Mama Mostarda has sleek, short fur that’s incredibly soft to the touch. She’d do well in a calm, patient home where she can blossom at her own pace and feel safe and loved.

Give this gentle mama the second chance she so deserves — she’s ready to be someone’s beloved companion now.

Meet Little Bit – A Shy Bobtail Beauty Ready to Blossom

Little Bit is a gorgeous bobtail girl with a gentle soul and a heart that just needs a little time to trust. After all she’s been through — losing her person and being frightened by young children in a previous home — Little Bit has learned to watch the world from a distance before jumping in. But once she feels safe, her playful and loving side begins to shine.

She adores catnip (and gets adorably goofy on it), and she’s very food motivated — especially when it comes to faucet water or mealtime snuggles. When she’s hungry, she’ll come find you, hoping for a pet or a cuddle, and you’ll often find her hanging out in the bathroom for a quick visit. She’s recently found her adventurous side, exploring parts of the house she never dared to visit before. She even coexists peacefully near a couple of calm cats and tolerates big dogs as long as they don’t crowd her.

Little Bit truly wants connection — she just needs patience and a calm, quiet home where she can be the only pet. She’s not suited for a home with young children, but in the right environment, she will continue to open up and blossom into a sweet, quirky companion. If you’re someone who understands that trust takes time, Little Bit might just be your perfect match.

Big Gorgeous Ears! ❤️👂
Leo is as cute as a button. You want to scoop him up and bury him in kisses. He’s a bit shy, though, so you have to entice him into your arms. It makes the cuddles that much sweeter. He will be a very loyal kitty to the lucky person who adopts him. Leo has been with his super loving momma cat his whole life and has only known love. He’s got a lot to share once he settles into your home.

Leo is FELV/FIV negative, has his first round of vaccines, and has excellent litter box manners.
