Hi, I'm Sir Archibald the 5th.
Meet Archie (a.k.a. Sir Archebald the Fifth 👑), an easygoing, affectionate guy who loves attention and will melt your heart with his signature back arch and adorable little “foot stompies” when you pet him. He’s also a chatty greeter who’s always happy to see you.
Archie may start off a little shy, but he warms up quickly and soon becomes your constant companion. He gets along great with other cats—especially playful ones—and would love a feline friend in his forever home. He’s gentle, avoids conflict, and has excellent litter box habits (even mastering an automatic box right away!).
He prefers wet or softened food due to having few teeth and is currently working on gaining some weight. While he’s not a fan of carriers or meds, he makes up for it by being incredibly sweet—and oddly enough, the vacuum doesn’t bother him at all! If you’re looking for a loving, low-drama companion with a cute personality and a lot of heart, Archie is your guy. 💛
Hi, I'm Jax.
Meet Jax — a lovable, affectionate boy with a big personality and even bigger love for attention! Jax is the kind of cat who doesn’t believe in personal space — if he wants pets, he’s absolutely going to climb right into your face to ask for them. He’s outgoing, sweet, and happiest when he’s spending time with his people.
Jax shares a close bond with his brother, Ness, and the two are looking for a home together. They bring out the best in each other and make an adorable pair of built-in companions. Whether they’re lounging together or seeking attention from their humans, these brothers are twice the love and twice the fun.
Jax has previously lived with children and other cats, making him a great candidate for a family home. If you’re looking for a social, affectionate cat duo that will fill your home with companionship, cuddles, and plenty of personality, Jax and Ness are ready to meet you!
Hi, I'm Ness.
Meet Ness — a gentle, affectionate boy who just needs a little time to let his loving personality shine. While he may be shy and reserved when first meeting new people, once he feels comfortable, Ness becomes a sweet and loyal companion who enjoys affection and being close to his trusted humans.
Ness is closely bonded with his brother, Jax, and the two are looking for a home together. Jax helps bring Ness out of his shell, and together they make a wonderful pair — balancing playful affection with quiet companionship. Watching their bond is truly special.
He has previously lived with children and other cats, and with patience during the adjustment period, Ness has the potential to do well in many home environments. If you’re looking for a loving duo and have a soft spot for the quieter cats who blossom with kindness and time, Ness and Jax may be the perfect match for your family.
Hi, I'm Kurt.
Meet Kurt! Kurt is a sweet and friendly boy who’s always ready to soak up love and affection. Whether it’s head scratches, cozy cuddle time, or just being near his favorite humans, he’s happiest when he’s part of the action.
This playful guy has plenty of energy and a goofy streak that will keep you smiling. He loves chasing toys, pouncing around, and showing off his silly side, he’s basically a built-in entertainer. Kurt’s fun-loving personality makes him a great companion for anyone looking for a lively and affectionate feline friend.
Kurt does have one quirky habit: when he’s feeling extra loving or playful, he may give gentle “love bites.” It’s just his way of expressing excitement and affection, and with a little understanding, it becomes part of his charm.
If you’re looking for a cat who will keep you laughing, keep you company, and fill your home with warmth and personality, Kurt might just be your perfect match.
Hi, I'm Nali.
Nali was surrendered and is more than ready to leave shelter life behind her. At 10 years old, this beautiful girl deserves a cozy home where she can relax, feel safe, and be loved the way she deserves. Since arriving, Nali has been nothing but sweet with everyone she meets. She’s a laid-back companion who enjoys peaceful strolls around the property and happily soaks up affection whenever it’s offered. Her gentle nature and calm presence make her such an easy girl to adore. Nali does have a bit of a mischievous side and has proven herself to be quite the escape artist, so she will need a family committed to keeping her safe and secure while outdoors. What Nali truly wants most is simple: a loving family, a soft place to rest, and a chance to spend her golden years surrounded by kindness instead of kennel walls.

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.
