Available Kitties:
|
|
Mosey Mama - approx 3 years
Mosey Mama came to our rescue as a pregnant mama about almost two years ago. In her time with the rescue, she has really come a long way! Although she is still a sassy and independent kitty, she has learned that humans are alright after all. She LOVES treats and will wait patiently for you to give her some if she knows you have them. She also loves to drink from the sink faucet! She’s not a lap cat; but if she trusts you, she loves a good head scratch and sometimes will even jump on your shoulder to hang out! She’s not usually a trouble maker, but prefers that the other kitties in the cafe give her space. You can usually find her at the cafe hanging out on top of the cat tree by the entrance. We know the right family is out there for this independent mama! Adoption Fee: $80 |
|
|
Goose- approx 9 years
Goose came to us with a group of other FIV+ kitties almost a year and a half ago. Don’t let his age fool you though, this guy still thinks he’s a kitten. Sometimes he gets the zoomies and can be seen running around the cafe! After he gets that energy out, he does love to settle down and snuggle up for some chin scratches. He’s not a huge fan of other kitties but doesn’t seem to mind them as long as them give him his space. He’s a handsome good boy who’s really sweet once you get to know him! He is toothless, and FIV positive, but that doesn’t mean he can’t live a full and happy life (you can read more about FIV here). Adoption Fee: $80 |

Popsicle - approx 4 years (be right back!)
Popsicle has had quite the adventure over the last year. She came to the cafe in July from a different rescue. She had her right eye removed with them before coming to us. Shortly after she came to us she started showing signs of allergies. We worked very closely with our veterinarian to find a food and treatment that worked for her. Just when we thought she was getting better she would start scratching again. We decided it was in her best interest to see a dermatologist to work out her issues because they were not getting better. Turns out our girl is allergic to dust mites, a few types of grass, mold, and some insects (found in cat food!). She receives an injection once a week to desensitize her from these things. This is something she will need for life. The dermatologist has nicely offered to continue her medication at a discount for her adopter. About Poppy: she has an old lady meow that makes her even cuter, she loves people, catnip, other cats, and dogs in her foster home. She may have an occasional flare up and need other intervention, but the medication she is on should keep most of those at bay. Adoption Fee: $80 We are now accepting applications for Popsicle |
|
|
Foy - approx 4 years
Foy is a sweet and silly man who loves snuggles and pets once he gets to know you. Foy loves to play with toys and would love a human of his own to snuggle up to. He would do well with other cats, but needs a stable and comfortable home as he can be a little sensitive. His funny meow and mustache make this special guy an amazing kitty who deserves a loving home. He is FIV positive (you can read more about FIV here) but that doesn't affect his day to day life! He can be quite a snuggler and just needs a safe, stable environment in a home to call his own! Adoption Fee: $80 |
|
|
Greyson - approx 7 years
Grayson is a super sweet and chill older guy! He loves being pet and will rub up against you for them when he's happy! When he gets really, really happy he starts to drool. He is front declawed. Grayson was diagnosed with stomatitis when we got him. He had all of his teeth extracted to help with the pain and inflammation. Sadly, sometimes even removing the teeth does not make the inflammation completely go away, and this was the case for him. We are working with our veterinarians to find the best management for this. Most likely Grayson will require some kind of treatment for this for the rest of his life. Adoption Fee: $80 |
|
|
Nani - approx 3 years
Nani is a sweet, silly girl. She raised her 5 babies in foster and is now looking for a home of her own! She is very affectionate and likes pets and the occasional snuggle.

She mostly does her own thing, and LOVES watching the birdies on the cat TV, and playing with string toys! Adoption Fee: $80 |
|
|
MJ - approx 2 years
MJ was a stray mama cat who found some nice people when she had her babies because she needed help! Her babies were very tiny, and she was not ready to be a mama. Unfortunately, all her kittens passed away. But she is a sweet, chirpy girl who loves attention and head scratches! She may growl or hiss at first, but she just thinks she’s got a reputation to uphold. She is still learning that she doesn’t have to worry about protecting her babies, or wondering where her next meal will come from. Now she gets to just be a kitty. Adoption Fee: $80 |

Gretchen - approx 15 years (with foster)
Gretchen is a beautiful senior lady, fun and with a sassy side! She prefers things to be on her terms and you will then be rewarded with her affection. Some call this “Tortie-tude”! But, after 15 yrs she just knows what she likes and what she wants. Nothing wrong with that! She will blossom in an environment that is quiet & stress free, has adults or respectful older children, and allows for window watching & lounging. A gentle approach and allowing her to bond on her own timing is key. She will thrive in a home setting with a patient and loving human as an only kitty. Will this human be you?! She eats special sensitive tummy food and takes a daily supplement - so she's living with a foster but if you're interested in meeting this sweet lady - contact us MEOW! Adoption Fee: $80 We are now accepting applications for Gretch! |

Daddy & Figaro - approx 1 year (with foster)
It was by complete coincidence that Daddy Blackberry (short hair, counterpart to Mama Orange) and Figaro (med hair) ended up in the same foster home at the same time - but these guys became BEST buds!

He has the most beautiful face and will stare at you adoringly all day long. He is very photogenic - and an excellent instagram model. Choux (ADOPTED) is an adventurer-the fearless leader of the litter who is always the first to try new things. He is confident and super playful, both with people and his brothers! He would love to be adopted with his brother Puff, or to a home with a cat and human who like play fetch with springs! Adoption Fee: $150 each/ 2 for $250 |
|
|
Dory - approx 1 year
Dory came to us when she was about 3 weeks old with her two siblings and momma (all have since been adopted). When she went in for her spay surgery on 10/30/20 the veterinarian noticed Dory had a suspicious fluid in her abdomen and called to let us know she thought Dory had FIP. FIP is a mutation of feline coronavirus that is random and occurs in a smaller number of cats (especially young cats) and in the past the prognosis for those cats used to be fatal. Bloodwork confirmed her diagnosis that night and soon after she started on the treatment to save her life. After 4 months of observation after 4 months of treatment, Dory was given the status of CURED! We do not know the long term prognosis of these guys but the longest treated cat is still doing great at least 4 years later. Dory is not a lap cat, but she will lay next to you and will ask for attention when she wants it. She is playful and a little quirky. She loves other cats and would probably be good with dogs too. Adoption Fee: $100 |

Folklore Babies - approx 10 months
The Folklore Babies— James Bean (black, M), Betty (coming soon!) and August (black/white, F) —came to us when the family who had been feeding their mama caught James thinking their mama had been hit by a car. We offered to help trap his sisters, and the first cat we trapped was their mama! The whole family is very shy and has been with their foster mama for months adjusting to life inside with humans. Jamesy is the most social of the kittens—he wants to be brave so bad, and picks up on the behaviors of the cats around him. He is the BIGGEST mama’s boy ever (seriously), and he loves to chew on a good cardboard box! August is a bit more shy but LOVES a good churu and likes to talk with her foster mama when she’s in a good mood. Betty is the spiciest bean, but she loves her family and has gotten more brave as she got more comfortable. They would love to find a calm, patient forever home with other kitty friends! Adoption Fee: $150 each/ 2 for $250 |
|
|
Dorothea - approx 5 years (coming soon!)
Mama Dorothea is the mama of the Folklore babies. She came to us when the family who had been taking care of her as an outdoor feral cat for years reached out to us for help with her kittens and we caught her first! Turns out, she’s only semi-feral and just didn’t like their dogs. They hadn’t been able to catch her for long enough to get her spayed, so she kept having litters of kittens that they were finding homes for—now she’s done having babies and is learning to relax around humans! She is the most tolerant mama ever to her babies, letting them snuggle all over her even now that they’re as big as she is. Her one ear is permanently crinkled—likely due to an old hematoma—but with proper care it doesn’t bother her at all. She likes crunchy treats and will eat them straight out of your hand when she trusts you. She would like a quiet home alone or with one of her babies where she can keep learning to trust people. Adoption Fee: $80 |
|
|
Firefly - approx 1 year
Firefly was brought to us with her siblings as a young kitten. She has grown up in a few fosters and been around other cats and small dogs. She was diagnosed with FIP on December 28th after her foster noticed she had lost weight and had a big belly. She started on treatment immediately and quickly gained weight and lost her fluid filled belly. She has thrived on treatment and after 3 months of injections and 3 months of observation she has been deemed cured! During her treatment she spent a lot of time with Dory (also available) and her brother Daddy Long Legs (still receiving treatment). She is good buddies with either and would do well being adopted with one of them. (Daddy won't be available until October- pending successful treatment ) She's a snuggler- loves to lay on your chest when you're laying down. Purrs for days and it's super sweet. Adoption Fee: $100 |
|
|
Glenn - approx 2 years
Glenn is a roughly 2-year-old armchair panther who loves head scratches and snuggles. He takes a little while to warm up because he isn’t used to love and affection, but once he feels comfortable, he will be an amazing addition to your family. Glenn will groom your hair and demand scratches when you sit down, and is especially good at making appearances in Zoom meetings. He loves to play with cat toys but his favorite thing is his cardboard scratcher. Glenn is comfortable around other cats, though takes his time to warm up. He likes people of all ages as long as they move slowly at first. Glenn has experience with large dogs but lets it be known that he doesn’t want them in his space. Adoption Fee: $80 |

Minnie - approx 1 year
Minnie Manx was pulled from a local shelter after she was found in an empty house someone was renovating. She was a new momma but sadly none of her babies survived. She's both polydactyl and manx. Because she has no tail her rectum is a little more prominent and red at times. She was checked by our vet who recommended a topical cream when needed. She's a little shy but will come around to pets. She's very laid back but will tell you when she wants attention! She has experience with small dogs and would love a quiet home where she can be comfortable and confident! Adoption Fee: $100 |
|
|
Bravo - approx 2 years
Everyone meet Bravo, he's about a year and a half old and is a little lovebug. He can be a bit reserved at first however he quickly opens up and is quite the charmer! Bravo likes to explore and no place is too high or low for him, and it's very funny finding his latest place to watch from. He enjoys catnip and playing with small toys that he can bat around, although he's still learning what a string toy is! Bravo would probably do better in a stable and not too rowdy home, with a slow introduction if you have other pets. Adoption Fee: $80 |
|
|
Boots - approx 2 years
Boots is a super sweet cuddle bug to his people. He loves to be touching you as much as possible. He's fine around other cats and at least small dogs, probably bigger dogs too. He occasionally will sass another cat if they are in his space but he is also very playful so it depends on their temperament. He's fine near house rabbits but should be in a bird free home. Adoption Fee: $80 |

The Space Babies - approx 4 months (coming soon!)

Comet (long hair gray/white, white chin) Astro (long hair gray/white, blaze nose) Celeste (long hair gray/white, gray chin) Aurora (short hair black) Orion (short hair gray). This was Cosmo's second litter in a year due to being very smart about getting trapped for her spay. Her last litter was all adopted out through the cafe as well. Since they were able to grow up in foster they are all sweet babies. Aurora is the only slightly shy one at times. They should all do well in most types of homes with proper introductions.

She was very protective of her kittens, but let us get her and bring her to a foster home. Now the babies are growing big and strong and she's ready for a real home! She is very very sweet, loves to be loved, and be by her favorite human all the time - she would be your very best friend. She even talks to you and gives kisses! She has experience with other kitties and doesn't seem to mind them (although she'd love to be an only child!), but she should be in a home without dogs. Adoption Fee: $80 |
|
|
Smudge - approx 2 years (coming soon!)
Smudge is about 2 years old. He was relinquished to the cafe after his owner passed away. He was used to living as an only pet. He appears to like kittens but can be bossy with adult cats, so an only cat home would be best. He would probably do well with dogs. He has been around small dogs only. Adoption Fee: $80 |
|
|
Sylvester - approx 5 years (coming soon!)
Sylvester came back to us when he ended up at the ER with a urinary blockage. At this time he is on a special diet but that could change once his bladder is back to normal.

|
