Hi, I'm Crustacean.
This playful male kitten is full of curiosity, energy, and charm. He loves exploring his surroundings, chasing toys, and turning every day into a new adventure.
When he’s not busy showing off his kitten skills, Crustacean is happy to enjoy some affection and attention from his favorite people. His sweet personality and playful spirit make him the perfect mix of fun and companionship.
If you’re looking for a kitten who will bring laughter, love, and plenty of purrs into your home, Crustacean is ready to swim his way into your heart and find his forever family!
Hi, I'm Trash Can Joe.
Trash Can Joe may have been found near a dumpster, but there’s nothing “trash” about this sweet boy—he’s all heart, all charm, and all love. This affectionate, talkative gentleman is quick to make friends and isn’t shy about letting you know when he wants attention, pets, or just a little conversation.
Joe loves being around people and will happily follow you from room to room, chatting along the way like he’s telling you about his day. He enjoys affection, seeks out companionship, and has a wonderfully social personality that makes him an instant favorite.
Despite his rough start, Trash Can Joe has shown that he’s ready to leave the past behind and embrace the good life indoors where he belongs. He’s eager for a safe, loving home where he can finally relax and be treated like the special cat he is. Just watch your snacks and countertops!
Hi, I'm Honey Dew.
Honey Dew is a lovely girl who came to us as a stray, and from the moment she arrived, she showed us what a kind, gentle, and loving companion she is. When Honey Dew came into our care, we discovered a few medical concerns that have since been addressed. She has arthritis and skin allergies, both of which are managed with daily medication. She also had a mass removed that was diagnosed as a mast cell tumor. While the mass has been removed, these tumors can recur and will require prompt veterinary evaluation and treatment if new masses develop. Any family interested in Honey Dew should be prepared for her ongoing medical needs and committed to providing the care necessary to keep her happy and comfortable. In return, they’ll gain a truly sweet, affectionate dog who has so much love to give. Honey Dew is a gentle soul who deserves a family willing to cherish her and give her the wonderful quality of life she deserves.

Hi, I'm Pudge.
💚Meet Pudge! 💚
Pudge is a big personality packed into a tiny kitten! Curious, adventurous, and always looking for his next mission, he loves roughhousing with his siblings, carrying around his favorite crinkly treasures, and even “helping” clean the litter box or supervising the vacuum.
While he’s an independent little guy who prefers to choose when it’s cuddle time, once he decides you’re worthy of affection, he’ll reward you with adorable headbutts and sweet snuggles. Pudge gets along well with people and other pets, but he’d especially love a home where he has plenty of room to play, explore, and put his impressive hunting instincts to good use. If you’re looking for a kitten with confidence, charm, and a whole lot of character, Pudge is ready to keep you entertained every single day.
Hi, I'm Ghost.
🤍 Meet Ghost! 🤍
Ghost may have started life a little slower than his siblings, but this sweet boy has blossomed into a playful, affectionate kitten with so much love to give. Whether he’s chasing a feather wand, wrestling with his siblings, or curled up in a warm lap making biscuits, Ghost is happiest when he’s surrounded by those he loves.
Gentle and easygoing, Ghost enjoys the company of people, children, and even respectful dogs. He’s just as content joining in the fun as he is relaxing nearby, taking it all in. His calm, loving personality makes him an easy companion for almost any home. While Ghost isn’t bonded to his brother Louie, the two have a wonderful friendship and would love the chance to grow up together. They play well, have similar personalities, and would make an amazing pair—but Ghost would also do well if adopted separately into a home with another friendly feline companion.

Save A Life By Fostering
Fostering saves two lives – the life of the animal in your home and the one we now have space for in the shelter. Our foster families create the capacity for us to care for more animals, and for pets struggling in the shelter environment, a foster family’s loving home can make a life-saving difference. Join our foster team to help pets heal, grow, and prepare for their forever home.
