Spooky
Adoption Fee $75
Estimated DOB: 4-12-2022
Domestic Shorthair
Female: Spayed
Meet Spooky
Spooky is a new arrival, so we're still getting to know her, but one thing is already clear: she's a lady with very strong opinions.
She's a bit of a wildcard when it comes to people. One moment she may seem perfectly content with your company, and the next she's decided the interaction has run its course. Spooky has very clear boundaries and isn't shy about enforcing them, so learning to read her body language and giving her space when she asks for it will go a long way toward earning her trust.
She takes excellent care of herself, always keeping her beautiful coat looking its best, and carries herself with the confidence of someone who knows exactly what she likes.
As for kittens... absolutely not. Spooky has made it abundantly clear that hooligans and ruffians are not welcome in her social circle, and the neighboring kitten kennel has only strengthened that opinion. Other cats don't impress her much either, and while we haven't introduced her to dogs, we suspect they'd receive a similarly frosty reception.
We think Spooky would be happiest as the pampered queen of a quiet home, or perhaps as a well cared for barn cat with a cozy place to sleep, dependable meals, and humans who appreciate an independent cat. She's not looking to be everyone's best friend, but for someone willing to respect her boundaries, we think she'll make a fascinating companion.
As she settles into shelter life, we're looking forward to learning more about this wonderfully opinionated lady.
Slag & Asphalt
Adoption Fee $100 per kitten
Estimated DOB 4-8-2026
Domestic Medium Hair
Female: Spayed / Male: Neutered
Meet Slag & Asphalt:
Slag is the male with the white stripe on his head, and Asphalt is the female.
Slag and Asphalt have had quite the journey from our feral shed to the adoption floor. We wouldn’t call them fully acclimated just yet, but they are trying, and the progress is there. The hissing has become less frequent, and every so often, if you find just the right spot, one of them will lean into a pet and remind you that there is a softer side hiding under all that caution.
If they head home soon, they will need someone who is comfortable working with fearful or spicy cats and understands that trust may take time. They are not going to walk into a new house and immediately act like they own the place, but with patience, consistency, and space to settle in, we think they have a lot of potential. We will continue working with them for as long as they are here.
Slag and Asphalt are very attached to each other right now, although some of that closeness may be coming from the comfort of having a familiar face during a stressful transition. Because of that, they can be adopted separately, and in some cases, having their own space may even help them build confidence without feeding off each other’s nerves. If they continue opening up and still prove to be truly bonded, though, we would absolutely love to see them find a home together.
For now, these two are still learning that the world outside the feral shed can be a pretty good place.
Shoshoni
Adoption Fee $75
Estimated DOB 7-11-2026
Domestic Medium hair
Male: Neuter Pending
Meet Shoshoni:
Shoshoni is a small-statured, quiet little guy who has been very laid-back during his time with us. In the kennel, he tends to keep things simple: eat, sleep, lounge, and repeat.
He is incredibly sweet and will absolutely ask for attention when he wants it. He enjoys affection, but he isn’t especially busy or demanding. Most of the time, he seems perfectly content relaxing somewhere comfortable until it’s time for food or some love.
Of course, the shelter is only one environment, and we may see a completely different side of Shoshoni once he settles into a home of his own. For now, he has earned himself a reputation as a very sweet little professional lounger.
Froyo
Adoption Fee $75
Estimated DOB: 7-12-2025
Domestic Shorthair
Female: Spayed
Froyo
Now that Froyo has officially weaned her kittens and retired from full-time mom duty, a whole lot more of her personality has come bubbling to the surface. She has turned into a wonderfully friendly, very talkative little lady who is more than ready to collect every pet you are willing to give her.
And if you happen to leave your hand sitting within reach? Perfect. Froyo will simply pet herself. No assistance required.
She still enjoys quietly exploring and would much rather keep all four paws on the ground than be carried around. Her feelings about dogs have also remained very clear: she is not a fan. A dog-free home would be the best fit unless an adopter is prepared for extremely slow, careful introductions. Her feelings about other cats are still a little harder to read, so introductions there should also be handled thoughtfully.
Froyo spent a long time putting her kittens first. Now that her tiny crew has grown up, she seems more than ready for her own turn at attention, conversation, and an unreasonable number of pets.
Cheeks
Adoption Fee $75
Estimated DOB: 7-27-24
Domestic ShortHair
Female: Spayed
Meet Cheeks, one of our newest arrivals. While we're still getting to know her, one thing is already clear, this sweet girl has a gentle heart. She enjoys being petted and happily soaks up affection, even if she'd prefer to keep all four paws safely on the ground for now.
Cheeks arrived with a wound on her back hip that we're currently treating. Because she's still healing, we suspect some of her quieter, more reserved nature may simply be the result of being uncomfortable and adjusting to a brand-new environment. At the moment, she spends more time observing the world around her than chasing toys or getting into mischief, and that's perfectly okay.
Rather than rushing to define who Cheeks is, we'd rather let her tell us in her own time. As she continues to heal, settle in, and realize she's safe, we have a feeling more of her personality will begin to shine through.
For now, we're giving Cheeks the patience, care, and space she deserves while she recovers. We'll continue getting to know this lovely girl and update her profile as she grows more comfortable and lets us see the real Cheeks.
Matrix
Adoption Fee $100
Estimated DOB 3-10-2025
Domestic Short Hair
Female: Spay Pending
Meet Matrix:
Matrix has come a long way from the cat who once wasn’t quite sure humans were worth trusting. These days, she is fully committed to the idea that pets are excellent and would happily accept as many as you’re willing to hand out.
She is also a curious little explorer with a sneaky streak. If you aren’t paying attention, Matrix may decide it’s time to investigate whatever is happening just beyond the doorway. Because of that, her future family will want to be mindful of open doors and windows, especially while she is still settling in and learning that his new home is where all the good stuff lives.
We do think Matrix could potentially live with a respectful dog as long as introductions are slow, intentional, and supervised. Another cat may also be a possibility under the same general rules: give everyone space, take introductions gradually, and let Matrix settle in at her own pace.
We suspect that once Matrix has had time to acclimate, knows exactly where dinner is served, and figures out which humans are responsible for the best pets, some of that wandering curiosity may settle down. Until then, consider her a very affectionate little adventurer who should not be trusted with an unattended exit.
Recycle
Adoption Fee $100
Estimated DOB 10-26-2025
Domestic Long Hair
Male: Neuter Pending
Meet Recycle, also known as “The Angry Owl”:
Recycle came to us feral and very unsure of people, so trust has been something he’s had to build slowly. He is still a timid little guy, and he will absolutely hiss when he feels overwhelmed, but these days it is usually his way of saying, “I’m nervous, please give me a minute.”
We’ve been working with him consistently, and he has made some really lovely progress. Recycle can now be petted, will take treats by hand, and has been getting more comfortable being carried around in a papoose while he watches the world go by. Slowly but surely, those permanently suspicious little ears are starting to lift, and he has even begun falling asleep while being carried.
He is still very much a work in progress and will need someone patient who understands that trust may come in small steps. Recycle may not walk into a new home ready to be everyone’s best friend, but he is showing us every day that there is a sweet little cat under all that caution. The Angry Owl is learning that people might actually be okay.
Nox
Adoption Fee $75
Estimated DOB: 9-10-2021
Domestic Shorthair
Male: Neutered
Meet Nox, the strong, silent type. This larger gentleman isn't one to waste words, but when he has an opinion, you'll hear about it. He's an independent soul who prefers to set the pace when it comes to affection. Don't mistake his love of personal space for indifference, Nox enjoys having his people nearby; he simply believes everyone benefits from a little breathing room now and then.
Nox has recently returned from foster care, and we're already noticing him becoming more comfortable and confident. We're still getting to know him outside of the shelter environment, but one thing has already surprised us. When Nox first arrived, we weren't sure how he felt about sharing his space with other cats. During his time in foster, however, he did well with another feline companion and continues to share space at the shelter without issue. That's an encouraging sign that, with slow introductions and a little patience, Nox could do well in a home with another cat and may even be willing to share his home with a respectful canine companion.
His previous owner did mention that Nox occasionally marked his territory. We'd rather be upfront than have you caught off guard. It's possible the behavior could return if Nox feels stressed, insecure, or feels that his boundaries are being pushed. Giving him time to settle in, introducing new pets slowly, and providing a consistent routine will go a long way toward helping him feel comfortable in his new home.
Once he's had time to settle in, we think Nox would make an excellent indoor/outdoor companion. He isn't the kind of cat who needs to be involved in everything you do, nor is he one to demand the spotlight. Instead, he's content to be a quiet, steady presence who enjoys life on his own terms. As we continue learning more about Nox, we'll be sure to update his profile, but something tells us this quiet gentleman still has a few surprises left to share.
Bumper
Adoption Fee $100
Estimated DOB 6-2-2026
Domestic Short Hair
Male: Neutered
Meet Bumper:
Bumper is currently bunking with Slag and Asphalt, and while he shares some of their shy, cautious nature, he is already a little more open to people. He can be held and seems to have a softer side that is just waiting for the right person to bring it out.
He is still timid and may need some time to settle in, but we have a feeling that with a little patience, gentle attention, and some proper pampering, Bumper would melt right into love and affection.
Dogs are a different story. Bumper had a very dramatic reaction when one walked past his kennel, so any introductions would need to be very slow, intentional, and closely monitored. A calm dog with excellent personal-space manners may have a better shot than one who believes social distancing is optional.
He may not be the type to throw himself into your arms on day one, but he is showing us that he is willing to try. With someone who lets him move at his own pace, Bumper has all the makings of a very sweet little companion.
Castle
Adoption Fee $75
Estimated DOB: 7-1-2024
Domestic Shorthair
Female: Spay Pending
Meet Castle Castle is the kind of cat who likes to know what's going on. Whether you're cleaning, organizing, or simply walking by, chances are she'll be nearby investigating to make sure everything is up to her standards.
She's a friendly, active girl who enjoys people and happily welcomes a good petting session. Being picked up, however, is a privilege best kept brief. Castle will tolerate a quick lift, but she's much happier with all four paws on the ground where she can continue exploring.
Castle has plenty of personality without being overly chatty. She'll let you know when she has something to say, but she's not one to fill every quiet moment with conversation. She's a beautiful brown tabby with striking green eyes that stand out against her warm coat.
When it comes to other animals, Castle knows exactly what she likes, and unfortunately, it's mostly people. Kittens are not on her guest list, and she's made it clear that she'd rather not share her space with other cats. We haven't introduced her to dogs, but based on her opinions of her feline neighbors, we'd recommend slow, thoughtful introductions if a dog is already part of the family.
We're still getting to know Castle as she settles into shelter life, but she's already shown us she's an inquisitive, affectionate companion who enjoys attention, values her independence, and isn't afraid to let you know where she stands.
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.
