Rogue- Bonded with Cupcake

Rouge's Story:

Meet Rogue and Cupcake, two adorable best friends who are searching for the forever home they've always deserved! These beautiful girls may not be sisters, but you would never know it from the way they adore each other. Having grown up together in a foster home and adopted as tiny kittens, they've shared every step of life's journey side-by-side. When their family recently had to move and couldn't take them along, these bonded sweethearts found themselves back with us and waiting for their happy ending once again.

At just one year old, Rogue and Cupcake are the perfect combination of playful, affectionate, and downright delightful. Gorgeous tortie Rogue brings all the charm without any tortitude that can come along with that flashy fur, while Cupcake, and her precious tabby-and-white markings, is every bit as sweet as her name suggests. Together, they're an irresistible duo!

Both girls are absolute lovebugs who firmly believe that attention, pets, and affection should be unlimited. Whether they're following staff and volunteers around for extra snuggles or happily soaking up love, these ladies never miss a chance to remind you just how wonderful feline companionship can be. They are incredibly gentle, wonderfully laid-back, and have the kind of easygoing personalities that make them a joy to be around. If you're looking for calm, affectionate companions who are happiest simply spending time with their people, Rogue and Cupcake fit the bill perfectly.

And can we talk about those coats? Rogue and Cupcake are unbelievably soft. Seriously, petting and snuggling them feels more like cuddling bunny rabbits than cats!

These perfect gals get along wonderfully with other cats, adore children, and are just all-around fantastic companions. While they haven't lived with dogs before, we think they'd likely do just fine with a gentle, cat-friendly canine companion.

Rogue and Cupcake have already lost one home through no fault of their own, and now they're hoping the next one will be forever. These darling girls are ready to fill a lucky family's home with purrs, cuddles, and endless love. All they need is someone willing to give them the happy ending they deserve.

If you're looking for twice the love, twice the softness, and two devoted best friends to share your life with, Rogue and Cupcake are waiting to meet you! If you would like to make this precious pair a part of your family, please complete an application. We will call you to schedule a meet and greet once you are approved!

LuLu's Story:

Meet the lovely LuLu! She is a stunning miniature panther with soulful eyes, a silky black coat, and a personality that's every bit as beautiful as she is. This lovely lass was found as a stray kitty and brought to the shelter by a kind person who wanted her to have her shot at a loving and much deserved forever home.
LuLu has an estimated birthdate of 8/2/20, so she's about 6 years young.

This sweet girl is affectionate and friendly, but she also knows what she likes and isn't afraid to have opinions. Think of her as a confident queen rather than a diva. She enjoys attention, companionship, and being part of your daily routine, which would make her an excellent work-from-home assistant. Need help answering emails? LuLu would be happy to supervise from your desk. Taking a Zoom call? She may volunteer for a guest appearance, and make you look good in the process!

LuLu seems to get along with other cats, but she would also be perfectly content as your one-and-only feline companion if that's what you're looking for. We don't yet know how she feels about dogs since she hasn't met any at the shelter. She should do well with children who understand how to be gentle and respectful with animals.

One important thing to know about LuLu is that she has been declawed. While this was done before she came into our care, we want to be transparent with potential adopters. Declawing is a practice that we do not support or recommend. Despite the name, declawing is not simply a nail trim, and cats who have been declawed can sometimes have special considerations throughout their lives. Fortunately, LuLu has not let that define her, and she's ready to focus on what really matters: finding a loving family of her own.

If you're searching for a sweet, beautiful companion who will happily keep you company during the workday, share quiet evenings on the couch, and add a touch of elegance to your home, LuLu may be your perfect match.

If you would like to meet the lovely LuLu, please complete an application and once you're approved, we will call you to schedule a meet and greet! Come meet this gorgeous house panther and see why black cats are always in style!

Briar's Story:

This little cutie is our friend, Briar. He has an estimated birthdate of 5/3/26, so he's just a few months old.

Briar may be young, but he's already had quite the adventure. Found as a little stray and then passed along to someone else who could not keep him, this adorable little guy is ready to trade uncertainty for something much better: a loving forever home where he can finally put down roots and just be a kitten.

And what a kitten he is!

Briar approaches life with one speed: FULL THROTTLE. If there is a toy to chase, a cat to wrestle, or a room to zoom through, he's on the case. This energetic little cutie believes every day should include at least three play sessions, several dramatic sprints through the house, and a healthy amount of mischief. He especially loves having feline friends to play with and seems to be happiest when he has an older, playful cat willing to entertain his endless supply of kitten energy. He would do equally well with a kitten in his age range too!

When he's not busy conducting important kitten business, Briar enjoys bird-watching from the window. In fact, if you gave him a cat tree in front of a nice window with a steady stream of birds outside, he might think he'd won the lottery. He could happily spend hours chattering at feathered visitors and keeping watch over his kingdom.

Briar is also a big fan of canned food and would love for that to continue in his forever home. Fun fact: cats don't naturally drink as much water as they should, so canned food can be an important part of keeping them hydrated and supporting urinary tract health. A kitty water fountain would be another item on Briar's wish list. Moving water? Endless entertainment and hydration? Sign him up!

This busy boy does best with plenty of enrichment, toys, and activity. Without enough fun things to do, he can get bored, and Briar firmly believes boredom is a problem that should never happen to any cat, ever.

Briar is looking for a home with a feline buddy, lots of playtime, and humans who appreciate his enthusiastic approach to life. If you're searching for a hilarious, affectionate, high-energy sidekick who will keep you laughing and your resident cats on their toes, Briar is ready to bring the party to your house.

Apply today and help this little adventurer finally find the stable, loving forever home he's been waiting for. Once you submit your application, once you're approved, we will call you and schedule a meet and greet!

Virginia- Best Friends with Beatrice

Virginia's Story:

Meet the impossibly adorable, Virginia. This little darling and her brothers were found as tiny stray kittens, and brought to the shelter so that they can find their loving forever homes. Sweet Virginia has an estimated birthdate of 6/26/26, so she's just 9 weeks old.

Even though Virginia has two brothers, her absolute best friend in the world is her foster sister, Beatrice. They may be "sisters from another mister", but no one told them that. Sure, they may not be biological sisters, but doesn't stop the sisterly bond that they share! These two adorable girls are inseparable best friends who spend their days playing, exploring, and cuddling together.

Virginia, a beautiful tuxedo lady, and Beatrice, a darling orange-and-white sweetheart, are the perfect kitten duo. They love racing around their foster home, scaling the cat tree like tiny acrobats, and lounging in their favorite window perches while keeping a close eye on the birds outside. After all that excitement, you'll usually find them curled up together for a cozy nap.

These girls know how to have fun! Their foster mom tells us that feather wands, crinkle balls, furry mice, and spring toys are all on their list of favorites. They also share a serious appreciation for canned food and never miss mealtime. They have placed a request for that to continue in their forever home. And kittens adopted in pairs do SO MUCH better than kittens adopted alone. It's true, kittens with a pal are more social, happier, have less long term behavioral issues, and they have a built in playmate for life. Kittens adopted alone and without a feline pal already in the home, risk turning into Kittenzillas. Did you know that kittens adopted alone are the number one returned animal to shelters nationwide? A crabby, under-socialized kitty is no fun for anyone!

Sweet, affectionate, and full of personality, Virginia and Beatrice bring out the best in each other. They would love nothing more than to find a forever home together so they can keep their kitten party going and remain BFFs for life.

If you're looking for twice the purrs, twice the snuggles, and twice the entertainment, Virginia and Beatrice are ready to steal your heart!

If you would like to meet sweet Virginia, and hopefully Beatrice too, please complete an application for them. Once your application is approved, we will call you to schedule a meet and greet. Remember that these this darlin duo resides in a foster home, and not at the shelter, so a meet and greet must be scheduled!

Lilith's Story:

This is the impossibly gorgeous, Lilith. This precious little girl was brought to us through no fault of her own, but only after her owner moved and couldn't take her with them. This little darling has an estimated birthdate of 10/24/23, so she's just a little over two years young!

Lilith is truly as sweet as she is gorgeous. She is the epitome of sweetness and personality. And this girl has a BIG personality and cannot get enough play time. She is an absolute blast and so much fun to play with. She starts purring the moment that you come near her and she sticks her paws out of her cage so that she can get ALL of your attention. This gorgeous gal doesn't mind being picked up either! Her favorite things are soft kitty beds, wand toys, feathers, catnip, kitty kickers and crinkle balls.

Having such a sweet disposition, she would do great in a home with children, and would make a wonderful friend for a lucky child or family. She would do fine in a home with other kitties as well. Of course, slow and proper introductions are a must for long-term success when introducing new furry family members to one another!

She hasn't met any dogs since being at the shelter so we don't know for sure how she would do, but we suspect that she may be fine with cat- friendly dogs who give her space.

Would you like to meet the most gorgeous calico around? If so, please fill out an application and once approved, schedule a meet and greet!

Louise- Our Longest Kitty Resident

Louise's Story:

Say hello to the cute as can be, Louise. This wonderful girl and her sister came to us through no fault of their own, but only after their previous owners moved and were about to turn them loose on the street. Thankfully a very kind neighbor intervened before that could happen, and took them in until we had room for them at the shelter.

Louise's sister was adopted, but this terrific torbie is still on the hunt for her loving forever home. This cutie has an estimated birthdate of 9/19/25, so she's about one year young.

Louise is an absolutely wonderful girl and she deserves to live in a home with a person or family who loves and treats her with the kindness that she deserves. She is sweet and inquisitive, and has personality to spare. She's a fun-filled gal but does opinions on the things that she likes and dislikes. She IS a torbie after all, and that flashy fur can sometimes bring a little sass along with it. But she is very affectionate, love pets and snuggles and simply want to be with their people.

Louise has a ball with wand toys, springs and crinkle balls. She roams freely with other kitties in our Kitty Corner room, and does well with her feline counterparts. Sure, she there may be a minor tussle from time to time, but that is just life with multiple cats in the same small space.

Louise would do just fine in a home with other kitties, or would do equally fine in a home where she is the reigning queens of the castle. Louise hasn't met any dogs since coming to us at the shelter, but with her sweet and confident personality, she would likely be just fine with a gentle, cat-friendly dog. This cutie would love to be adopted by a family with kids, as she loves to play as much as you are willing.

Would you like to mee the lovely Louise? If so, please complete an application and schedule a meet and greet once you're approved.
