Pikez
Adoption Fee $75
Estimated DOB: 3-162023
Domestic Shorthair
Male : Neutered
Meet Pikes, a cat operating at maximum orange-cat capacity every hour of the day.
There are absolutely thoughts behind those eyes. Many thoughts, in fact. Important thoughts. Loving thoughts. Dramatic thoughts. Unfortunately, most of them are centered around getting closer to you, obtaining more pets immediately, and figuring out how to turn himself into a weighted blanket with whiskers.
Pikes is unbelievably affectionate. This boy does not simply enjoy pets. He EXPERIENCES them. The second you start loving on him, he completely loses all sense of coordination, balance, personal space, and occasionally gravity itself. He gets so overwhelmed by affection and excitement that he has legitimately rolled himself right out of his kennel before because his tiny orange brain decided the best way to process happiness was to simply fall over.
He purrs like a malfunctioning engine, makes biscuits with the determination of someone trying to pay rent, and throws his entire body into cuddles with zero regard for physics or dignity.
Now, when it comes to other cats, Pikes has very strong workplace management energy.
He believes he should be in charge. Of the room. Of the household. Of the emotional atmosphere. Potentially of local government.
Being told otherwise does not go over particularly smoothly.
Because of this, introductions with other cats need to be slow, respectful, and carefully managed so His Royal Orange-ness can acclimate at his own pace. Once comfortable, he may do perfectly fine, but he absolutely prefers negotiations happen on his terms.
As for dogs, Pikes would currently appreciate them remaining on the opposite side of the known universe if possible. He does have a small healing injury on his foot that suggests he may have had a rough interaction with one at some point before arriving with us, which likely explains some of his opinions on the matter. Slow, controlled introductions would be essential in any home considering a canine sibling.
Pikes would also do best in a home where he has safe access to both indoor comfort and outdoor adventures. He is deeply passionate about going outside and becomes personally offended by closed doors. If denied appropriate outdoor access, there is a very real possibility he may begin expressing his disappointment through extremely targeted bathroom-related protest art.
Despite all of his dramatic orange nonsense, Pikes is genuinely an incredibly loving cat. He wants attention constantly, thrives on affection, and has absolutely mastered the art of emotionally bulldozing his way directly into your heart.
This is not a calm decorative cat.
This is a cat who will launch himself into your daily routine like an emotionally unstable croissant with paws.
And somehow, you will probably end up completely obsessed with him.
Shock
Adoption Fee $75
Estimated DOB: 1-15-2025
Domestic Shorthair
Male : Neutered
Meet Shock, a former professional cave creature who has recently decided that maybe humans are not, in fact, the worst thing to ever happen to him.
When Shock first arrived, he wanted absolutely nothing to do with people. He spent most of his time hidden away in the darkest corner he could physically locate, quietly judging the world and pretending invisibility was a viable life strategy.
Fast forward to now, and this dramatic little man has undergone a complete character arc.
Shock now happily rushes to the front of his kennel the moment he suspects affection may be incoming. He will meow expectantly, present himself for attention like a tiny striped prince awaiting tribute, and immediately begin demanding love from whoever has entered his domain.
And once he decides you are acceptable?
Oh, he commits.
Shock is incredibly cuddly and very affectionate with people. He loves rubbing all over faces, hands, shoulders, clothing, unsuspecting bystanders, probably your soul if physically possible. If you leave a Shock interaction without at least 90% of your outfit covered in cat fur, he will likely consider the encounter incomplete and personally disappointing.
He also does not detach easily.
Removing Shock from your person after he has decided cuddle time has begun is somewhat comparable to removing industrial Velcro or alien tape from a wall. There will be resistance. There will be dramatic stretching. There will probably still be fur attached to you afterward regardless of outcome.
This boy LOVES affection.
He also has a hilariously unfortunate tendency to love food with equal intensity.
Shock can overindulge during meal times and occasionally make himself sick from enthusiasm alone, so portioned feeding is definitely recommended. Giving him the proper measured amount instead of free feeding will help keep this handsome little disaster comfortable and feeling his best.
Visually, Shock is absolutely stunning. Between his striking eyes, beautiful tabby markings, and ridiculously soft coat, he looks like someone designed a cat specifically to maximize “please pet me immediately” energy.
And the softness is genuinely unfair.
He went from hiding from the world to actively seeking out affection, attention, and companionship, and watching that transformation has been incredibly rewarding. Shock feels like the type of cat who just needed time to realize he was safe before allowing his full loving personality to shine through.
Now that it has?
He intends to make up for lost time by lovingly coating humanity in fur one cuddle session at a time.
Astarion
Adoption Fee $75
Estimated DOB: 4-1-2023
Domestic Shorthair
Male : Neutered
Meet Astarion, a soft-spoken gentleman carrying himself with the quiet elegance of someone who absolutely would have opinions about proper table settings and acceptable indoor behavior.
He has a very calm, composed presence about him. Not shy exactly, and certainly not unfriendly, just… refined. Astarion gives the impression that he appreciates a respectful introduction, a reasonable amount of personal space, and an understanding that not every beautiful mysterious man needs to throw himself dramatically into your arms within the first five minutes.
That being said, affection absolutely exists beneath the polished exterior.
Astarion can be incredibly loving and surprisingly cuddly when the mood strikes him and, more importantly, when HE decides the timing is appropriate. Staff members have reported that once he settles in and feels comfortable, he can become quite snuggly in his own quiet gentlemanly way. He simply prefers affection to happen with a little decorum attached to it.
He is not particularly vocal, tends to keep his space tidy, and overall carries himself like a cat who pays taxes on time and folds hand towels correctly.
When it comes to other animals, Astarion seems relatively unbothered. He has not shown major issues with other cats and appears capable of peacefully coexisting without needing to be the center of household drama. Dogs also do not seem to concern him much. He mostly gives the impression that their nonsense is beneath his attention span.
At this point in time, we would describe Astarion as loving but aloof, elegant but warm, and mysterious in the way that all truly beautiful tabby cats somehow manage to be. There is a very strong possibility that once settled into a stable home environment, adopters may discover an entirely different side of him waiting underneath the composed exterior.
He feels like the type of cat who slowly becomes your shadow without you realizing it.
One day he is quietly observing you from across the room, and the next he is curled beside you like he has always belonged there.
Astarion would thrive in a home that appreciates gentler personalities, respects boundaries, and understands that some cats are less “chaotic goblin energy” and more “elegant Victorian man standing dramatically near a window during rainfall.
