Mitsy is a gentle, docile little lady who is still settling into shelter life and learning that the world can be a safe place. As one of our newer residents, she’s taking things one day at a time, and while she grows a little more comfortable every day, we would truly love to see her find a calm, loving home sooner rather than later. The busy shelter environment can feel overwhelming for a sensitive girl like Mitsy.
She’s incredibly sweet, but she needs people who understand that trust happens on her timeline. Mitsy prefers not to be crowded and appreciates a patient approach that lets her come out of her shell at her own pace. Once she feels safe, her gentle personality really starts to shine.
And if you’re looking for the fastest way to win her over? Lickable treats! Mitsy absolutely LOVES them, and they’re quickly becoming the key to her heart. With a quiet home, kind people, and a little patience, we know this lovely girl will blossom into a wonderful companion.

Rajah is the definition of a laidback companion. This handsome boy loves affection and will happily soak up all the pets and attention you’re willing to give. He’s the kind of cat who follows you around like a little lost puppy, always wanting to be near his people. When he’s not keeping you company, you can usually find him birdwatching from the window, rolling around with catnip, or trying to convince you he absolutely deserves another treat (he is VERY treat motivated!).
Rajah also seems incredibly interested in exploring the outdoors, and we truly think he would thrive in a safe indoor/outdoor home where he can enjoy the best of both worlds. If you’re looking for an easygoing, loving companion with a gentle personality and a curious spirit, Rajah may just be your perfect match

When Winston was adopted from The Ark in September 2024, his family soon realized that beneath his rugged exterior was a loving cat who simply craved the company of a forever family.
You might recall Winston as a big gray tom cat with a battered ear. His adopter noted that everything healed wonderfully, and Winston has since become a constant source of comfort and companionship at home. Whether he’s nestled in a lap, perched on a shoulder, or cuddled up at bedtime, Winston clearly shows that his favorite place is with his family.
He has also turned into a fantastic companion for the family’s other cat, spending his days playing and cuddling with his feline friend.
In the family’s own words…
“All he wants in the world is to be snuggled or held in a hug.”
“At night, he will find a human in the house to hold him like a stuffed animal as we all fall asleep.”
“Truly, he is the best cat that we have ever had.”

Meet Griffin, a young boy full of charm, affection, and playful energy! Griffin is a smart and curious cat who loves spending his days chasing toys, enjoying tasty treats, and rolling around with his favorite catnip goodies. His friendly personality makes him quick to win over everyone he meets, both human and feline alike.
One of the sweetest things about Griffin is his love for companionship. He has formed a special bond with fellow shelter resident Damien and can often be found curled up cozily beside him or snuggling with his brother, Grayden. Whether he’s playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing with his buddies, Griffin’s loving nature shines through in everything he does.
This handsome boy is ready to bring warmth, fun, and endless affection to a forever home that will cherish his sweet personality.
Because of Grffins love towards others, we deem it necessary for him to be adopted into a home that already has a cat or be adopted out with another cat here from the shelter. He truly is affectionate towards others and we do not want to take that away from him

Meet Aries, a laidback young gentleman with a calm spirit and an easygoing personality. Aries is the kind of cat who’s happiest lounging nearby, soaking up the sunshine, and quietly watching the world go by from his favorite window perch. Whether it’s birds fluttering outside or leaves dancing in the breeze, he could spend hours peacefully window watching.
This chill boy is all about the simple pleasures in life — especially foot rubs! Aries absolutely melts for a good foot massage and will gladly relax into full comfort while enjoying the attention. With his gentle nature and relaxed vibe, he’d make the perfect companion for anyone looking for a calm, affectionate best friend to share quiet moments with.
