Miss Grumpy, the queen of her own little world, female/spayed, 1 1/2 yrs young, who's been blooming in our care. Don't let her tough exterior fool you, beneath all that confidence lies a heart of gold, who's secretly a cuddlebug waiting to unfold. She's thriving with her roomies, but let's be real, she's destined for her own forever family. Her love language is self-care, especially butt and ear rubs - and it's time to unlock her true potential! Her adoption fee is a gift at $50 and she can't wait to shine with you during open hours Tuesday thru Sunday 12-3. Come for the inspiration, stay for the unconditional love

Our incredible Mr. Curly fry, blue grey, is a shining star, spreading joy and positivity wherever he goes! This little bundle of energy rolled into our lives with a sparkle, and now he's ready to brighten up your world! When he's not busy spreading love, he's playing hide-and-seek in the kitty tube or basking in the warmth of the catio, radiating kindness from his throne (aka window perch). He's a social butterfly, and with a heart full of love, he'll be the perfect addition to your family! Adopt him for a steal at $50 and watch him thrive! Visit him Tues-Sun from 12-3pm and experience the joy he brings!
