These two… Scout and Harper are just the sweetest, and he definitely loves his sister.
They were found on our front porch in a crate in a box covered with a blanket on a cold day. They are now spayed and neutered and ready for their forever homes, hopefully together!

Harper and Scout were left in the cold on the front porch of our rescue. They were inside a crate in a box covered with a thick blanket. Thankfully, that helped keep them warm until they were discovered.
They are now spayed/neutered, safe, and ready for a loving home of their own.

Meet Alley! She was named for her tendency to lounge in the streets and alleys hoping to be noticed.
Alley loves people, soaks up every bit of attention she can get, and does well with other cats. She’s a gentle, loving soul who just wants a family.
She’s now spayed and ready for her forever home.

Asbury is rather liking his new role as a bookstore cat. He greets everyone who will allow it with hugs and kisses, and he enjoys the chairs immensely! He will transition well to loving housecat once he’s adopted. 😉

Everyone wants fluffy kittens, Siamese, calicos. But what about the rest?
Every year kittens are overlooked and then graduate to our free roam rooms. Some are shy, some plain, some special needs.
They still deserve a home. 
Please consider the ones left behind.

Cold weather is here. We’re getting calls daily about homeless kittens, but we are full.
We’re caring for over 200 cats & kittens. We cannot take in more until some of our current cats find homes.
Many of these littles won’t survive the cold.
Please help us make room for the others who need help.

Aurora has been waiting for her forever home for a couple years now. She is very sweet. Unfortunately black cats often get looked over. We end up with a lot of black and tabby cats that don’t get adopted. ☹️
