Little name. Big heart. Meet Unni. 🩷

My name means “little one,” and it couldn’t suit me better. I’m a gentle, curious kitten who’s still learning that indoor life is full of cozy beds, tasty treats, and kind people.

I love soft head scratches, exploring my surroundings, and chasing wand and spring toys—they’re helping me discover my playful side! With a little patience and a lot of love, I’m blossoming a little more every day.

Could I become your little one? 🐾

⚽ SHY AT FIRST, SWEET AT HEART. ❤️

Meet Lionel—a gentle little guy who may not rush onto the field, but once he feels safe, he’ll show you just how special he is. 🐾

At 1 year old, Lionel is still learning that people can be trusted. He’s shy at first and prefers to take things at his own pace, but he’s getting braver every day. Give him patience, move slowly, and let him come to you—and you may be rewarded with some pets, playful Mini Mouse toy sessions 🐭, or even a sweet little headbutt for affection.

Lionel is looking for a quiet home and a patient person who understands that the best relationships aren’t always instant. He needs someone willing to let him build confidence on his own timeline.

He was named after a famous footballer, so now he’s hoping his own World Cup journey ends with the ultimate prize: a forever home. 🏆⚽

Could Lionel be your favorite teammate?

Meet Miller 🖤🤍

Miller is a handsome tuxedo gentleman with a sweet soul, calm personality, and just enough playful mischief to keep things interesting. He loves hanging out with his people, weaving between their legs to say hello, and soaking up affection. And when it’s time to play, he’s all about chasing a wand toy through his tunnel! 🐾

Miller is looking for a quiet, child-free home with an experienced cat adopter who understands that patience, trust, and respecting a cat’s signals can make all the difference.

He can be an only cat, but he may also enjoy a friendly feline companion with a proper introduction. He’s been getting along nicely with his neighbor, though they haven’t shared the same space yet.

Miller came to C.A.R.E. after his owners’ health declined and they could no longer care for him. None of it was his fault—he’s simply ready for a fresh start and a forever family of his own. 🖤🤍

Could Miller be your perfect match?

Meet Jerry. 🤍 This sweet senior boy has been through more than any dog should have to—yet somehow, he’s remained gentle, happy, and so incredibly easygoing.

After arriving at C.A.R.E. as a stray with a large growth on his foot, Jerry underwent multiple surgeries, including an amputation. Thankfully, his biopsy was benign. He’s now healed, thriving, and ready for the part of his story he’s been waiting for: a forever home. 🐾

Jerry loves his routine, his walks, car rides, cozy couch time, and being wherever his people are. He doesn’t need much—just a loving home where he can enjoy his senior years feeling safe, cherished, and home.

He’s been through enough. Now he deserves his forever.

Could you be Jerry’s person?

Meet Rocky. 🖤🐾

This handsome black cat has a big personality and an even bigger opinion. After a few rocky chapters in his life, Rocky is back at C.A.R.E. and understandably feeling a little grumpy about the whole situation.

But don’t let the sass fool you—once Rocky decides you’re okay, he’s all about head bumps, pets, and VERY HARD boops. 😹 He just needs someone patient enough to let him warm up at his own pace.

Rocky has been through a lot. Now he’s looking for someone who will stick around for good. 🖤

Come meet this handsome, opinionated boy and see if you’re his person!
