Bubblegum and Cotton Candy

Meet Bubblegum and Cotton Candy, an inseparable duo looking for a loving home! These two shy but affectionate kitties may take a little time to warm up, but once they do, their gentle and playful personalities shine through.

Bubblegum, the more social of the two, adores pets and will happily purr away while making biscuits—sometimes even drooling from pure happiness! Cotton Candy, on the other hand, is a bit more reserved. She prefers to sit close rather than be petted but will reward your patience with soft purrs. She also has a playful side, especially when a feather wand or a rolling ball is involved!

When they’re not chasing each other around, they love to nap together, wrestle, and curiously observe their surroundings. If you're looking for a pair of sweet, mild-mannered kitties to bring joy to your home, Bubblegum and Cotton Candy would love to meet you!

Buckwheat

Buckwheat is a playful, energetic cat with a sweet, goofy personality. He has a sleek, soft coat with striking eyes that reflect his curious nature. His favorite activity is chasing a laser pointer or ball, and he thrives on two daily play sessions- once in the morning and once at night. While he enjoys attention, Buckwheat prefers neck scratches and will approach you when he wants to be petted. When not in play mode, he enjoys curling up on the couch or watching cat TV. Buckwheat eats a special food, so he'll need to go to a home willing to accommodate his special needs! He would also love to go to a home with another feline friend.

Stevie

Stevie is a special cat with a unique way of experiencing the world. She is blind, but constantly amazes us with how well she navigates her surroundings. Her permanently dilated eyes give her an adorable, Puss in Boots-like expression as she curiously follows her human around, sometimes skidding dramatically into the room just to stay close.

Though a bit nervous in new environments, Stevie’s curiosity takes over, and she loves to explore. She enjoys chin scritches, playing with wand toys, and lounging under her beloved “pillow fort.” While she occasionally engages in light play with the resident cat, she’s mostly independent. Due to her vision loss, Stevie sticks to flat surfaces and doesn’t climb or jump, but that doesn’t stop her from getting around just fine!
She isn’t a fan of being picked up yet, but she always communicates her boundaries gently. Stevie is also a fan of other cats. She has never scratched or bitten, making her a respectful and endearing companion.

Ruby

Ruby is a gentle, timid, and affectionate cat who is still adjusting to her foster home. She loves close contact with her person, often sleeping on top of them and adjusting her position to stay there as they move. While she enjoys sitting in laps and staying nearby, she prefers to approach on her own terms rather than being picked up or approached too quickly. Easily startled by sudden movements, Ruby thrives in a calm environment where she can build trust at her own pace. She has a playful side and enjoys chasing springs, toy mice, and an automatic feather toy. When she wants attention, she gently reaches out with her paw—whether it’s touching a face for pets while lying down or reaching up during dinner for some affection. With patience and understanding, Ruby is a sweet and devoted companion who forms deep bonds with those who respect her space.

Milkshake

Milkshake is a gentle and energetic feline with a shy streak. Despite her nature—sometimes finding solace under furniture—she bursts with energy when playtime comes around. Milkshake adores every type of toy available: from chasing toy mice and wagging wand toys to darting after the elusive laser beam. Whether it's zooming up and down the stairs or dashing along the hallway, she fills her day with playful adventures. Even when left to her own devices, she can entertain herself by tossing and chasing her favorite toy mice. She has been known to leave her mouse by her foster parent's bed to be found in the morning as a gift. A quiet and undemanding soul, Milkshake calmly waits in the kitchen when she’s hungry, and her sweet disposition is evident in the way she interacts—never resorting to claws or bites, just pure, gentle charm.

Blondie

Blondie is a beautiful orange lady with a soft heart and a gentle soul. She’s a little shy at first, preferring to observe the world from a safe distance, but once she warms up, she’s the ultimate lovebug—melting into every pet, cuddle, and lap she can find.
She thrives with attention but on her own terms—when she’s ready, she’ll let you know with a soft headbutt.
Though she’s more on the low-energy side, Blondie can be playful, especially at night, when she enjoys playing with toy mice and the ball tower. Most of the time, though, she’s content just being near her person, enjoying quiet moments together.
If you’re looking for a sweet, devoted companion who will shower you with love in her own gentle way, Blondie is the perfect match for you.

He enjoys tucking his head into small spaces, like under a chin, when making biscuits. When sleeping, he finds comfort in having his face held.

Stark

Stark is a playful yet chill cat with a serious expression that makes him look like he’s judging you—or that you owe him money. Despite his tough-guy looks, he’s the biggest baby. His meow is hilariously tiny for a cat of his size, earning him the nicknames "Big Boy" and "Big Baby."

He enjoys lounging around during the day and unleashing his zoomies at night.

Though not a lap cat, Stark enjoys hanging out nearby, especially during TV time. He loves affection—he’ll headbutt your hand for pets and immediately flop onto his side, rolling back and forth for belly rubs He is independent yet loyal, following you around while still enjoying his alone time.

Sunday River

"Life is a marathon and not a sprint" is an adage that Sunday River takes seriously. She enjoys taking things slow and savoring mellow moments, especially with human friends. She also socializes well with other felines as long as they aren't to rowdy in their playstyle.

Sunday has manageable chronic arthritis that encourages her to take things slow. She can be quite chatty when she's not getting what she wants or doesn't appreciate where she's being petted, although it's always in a gentle manner. She loves to be the center of attention and you will quickly become familiar with her repertoire of grumbles, meows, purrs, and chirps!

This lady has such a wonderfully unique personality and will be a perfect companion for a home that embraces her need for gentleness.
