Miss Grumpy is still chilling, waiting for her human to come and get her. Don't let the name fool you, she's actually one of the least grumpy cats we've met. She's a happy-go-lucky cat who loves snoozing by the window. She'll also do just about anything for a plate of wet food or some treats. She's super friendly and gets along with just about anyone, but what she'd really love is a place to call her own. She is available during open hours Tuesday thru Sunday 12-3.

Our fabulous little firecracker, Feisty, is technically a 10-year-old but likes to pretend she's still in kitten training school. When she's not busy being a goofball, she's lounging around waiting for someone to give her belly a good rubdown. She's on the hunt for her partner in shenanigans to supply endless belly rubs and share in all sorts of quirky adventures. She is available during our open hours Tuesday thru Sunday 12-3.
