Holiday Wish: A Home for Harvest!
Meet Harvest, our black and white cuddle bug who came to us potty trained, knowing basic commands, and absolutely convinced he’s a lap dog.

Shelter life is stressing him out, and despite meds, special food, yard time, and extra love, he’s losing weight. He needs a quiet home where he can relax, get healthy, and finally feel safe again.

Quirky personality
Big-time snuggler
Ready-made companion
His adoption fee is fully sponsored.

Let’s give Harvest the best gift ever—a family.
Come meet him today!

Pumpkin Pie

If you’re looking for a cat who’s truly extra sweet, meet Pumpkin Pie! This rotund orange tabby proves he’s been enjoying a very well-“balanced” diet—likely with extra whipped cream and maybe a scoop of ice cream. After all, what’s Pumpkin Pie without toppings, right?

This lovable boy came to us as an owner surrender through no fault of his own. He adores people, loves attention, and has a hilarious habit of sitting up on his back legs like a chunky little meerkat. Pumpkin Pie is ready to serve up cuddles, laughs, and plenty of love to his new family.

So tell us… do you have an extra-large space at your holiday table for some Pumpkin Pie?

This handsome DSH boy came in as a “stray,” but his personality says otherwise. Coal has all the signs of being someone’s special baby — affectionate, trusting, and full of love to give. He’s the type of cat who leans into pets, makes himself comfortable like he’s always belonged, and looks at you like he’s ready to be your new best friend.

Coal is hoping for something extra special this season: a cozy forever home before the holidays arrive. With his sweet spirit and gentle nature, he’s sure to be the perfect gift to your heart all year long.

This is a wonderful opportunity to recognize and celebrate the charm and unique love that older cats bring into our lives. This month reminds us that age is just a number when it comes to finding a loving furry family member. if you or anyone you know is considering adding a cat to their home, please think about giving a sweet, seasoned senior a chance to live out their golden years in comfort!
