Cats in the Rehabilitation Phase:
Due to the nature of our Rescue, we take in cats who are not always ready to be placed in a home just yet. However, with unconditional compassion, patience and lots of treats, our volunteers work hard with all our furry felines to socialize them and teach them how to accept the love they deserve. Check back frequently to see who is ready for a loving family.

Barn/Shop Cats
The adoption fee for our "barn cats" is a minimum of $40, as they have been fixed, vaccinated, treated for worms & earmites, and microchipped. We prefer barn cats to be adopted in pairs, to keep eachother company in the absence of a human buddy.
If you are interested in the services of a professional barn or shop cat, please contact us now 😸
Mary J Blige
Hi all, my name is Mary J. Blige. But my foster pawrents call me Mary, MJ, Mary Cat, or many other nicknames 😸.
I came to the shelter in July with a LOT of my siblings, we didn’t have the best living situation, and our owner passed away… This left most of us locked in or out of the house for weeks.. I really wasn’t doing so well and because of the malnourishment, I started losing my vision. But now that I’m happy and healthy I have regained most of my sight!
I can still be shy sometimes but have really opened up over the last few months! I love being pet, but still run away sometimes when I get caught off guard. I will need someone who understands I can still get scared and might take some time to warm up to you. But I’m getting better everyday! I love to explore at night, sometimes sing a little quiet song too. I will jump onto the bed to ask for pets and I really like laying beside mum, but not too close... give me enough time and patience and I’m sure I’ll be in your lap soon enough!
I love my belly rubs and head scratches, will happily clean your fingers, make you giggle while I play (my mum says I’m bouncy!), and bring you so much joy!
I'm approximately 2yrs old. I'm fine with both my feline & canine foster siblings as long as they respect my personal space 💕🐱🐶. Would you like to meet me? Please reach out now!

Forrest
We have named this stunning boy Forrest. He was brought in as a stray, when he was caught on a rural property beating up the resident cats.
Now that he has been neutered, Forrest has shown us he a big fluffy lovebug! We guesstimate he's no older than 2yrs, and while he's still a smidge skittish when there's too much commotion around him, he will come for pettings and even sit on your lap if your patient with him! 😻 He seems fine with the other fixed cats in the Shelter, even curling up with a sick senior kitty to comfort him 💕. Forrest should do fine with cat-savvy children. We are unsure how he feels about dogs, so a 'trial adoption' would be required should you have one. Forrest is showing interest in being outside, so he would likely be happiest with outdoor access in his new home.
If you would like to meet this darling kitty, or any of our wonderful rescues, please reach out now! 🐾
2 Years Old
Jerry
Jerry is a handsome cat of approximately 2 years of age. He came to us a an unfixed stray with a severe case of earmites. It was so bad he had torn his own ear apart with his claws trying to ease the itch and pain 😿. We have had this precious boy treated, as well as fixed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and he is so appreciative and such a happy cat now!
Jerry is still a smidge skittish and he will need a patient adopter who can give him the time to grow comfortable and blossom in his new home. He will most likely want to be an indoor-outdoor kitty, but he will need to be kept inside until he's confident enough to know that is his home and he must return.
Given Jerry's skittish nature, he would like do best in a quieter home. He is fine with the other cats in the Shelter, however we're unsure how he feels about dogs, so a trial adoption would be required if you have a canine.
If you would like to meet Jerry, please contact us asap 🐈⬛💜
2 Years Old
Johnny Cash
We've named this precious boy Johnny Cash. He came to us with a half dozen other kitties from a property with too many unfixed cats. As you can see by his battle wounds, the life of a tomcat is a hard one 😿.
Due to their raging hormones, most toms can think about only two things: fighting & mating. As such the lifespan of a tom cat is often drastically reduced compared to that of an indoor cat, or even a fixed outdoor cat. Toms can smell and female in heat up to 5kms away, and will put themselves in harms way (ie: crossing highways, traveling thru predator territory, fighting other toms, etc...) to get to her.
As you can see in the video, our sweet boy Johnny Cash is a lover at heart, not a fighter. He is sooo grateful to have a comfy bed and know that he can sleep safely. He LOVES his head scritches, and each day he's feeling better as the antibiotics heal his bite wounds and the healthy & delicious cat food keeps his belly full. While he may not be a "pretty kitty" to some, he is absolutely beautiful to us 🩵.
We guesstimate Johnny to be around 3yrs old. He is fine around the other cats at the Shelter, however we're unsure what he thinks of dogs. But we do know that he loves and craves human companionship and love, which we believe almost all domesticated cats do, if given the chance!
Johnny Cash has been neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and microchipped. His adoption fee is $175. Please reach out now if you can give this special guy a safe & loving furever home 🏠🐾.
3 Years Old
Garfield
Say hello to Garfield! 😺 This handsome green-eyed boy came to us as an unfixed stray, that had been reeking havoc on local property. We guesstimate Garfield to be around 2yrs old. His sweet nature is blossoming at the Shelter and he loves a good cheek scritchin'!
Garfield is currently sharing a room with six other kitties with no issues. He enjoys laying in the sun in their catio space 🌞. He has been neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and microchipped, and his adoption fee is $175.

Maple
We've named this adorable boy Maple 😺. As many of our cats do, he came to us as an intact stray that was brought in after trying to set up shop on a rural property. He's very sweet, but no one has come looking for him 😓.
We guesstimate his age at around 1yr old. Maple is a bit of a ham (maple ham! 🤭) and he loves pettings & attention! He seems fine with the other cats at the Shelter. We don't know how he feels about dogs, so a 'trial adoption' may be required if you have a canine companion. Maple is a pretty chill kitty and should fit right into any loving family dynamic 😻. Contact us now if you'd like to meet him!

Opie
😺 Opie is lovely ginger tabby plushy-coated shorthaired neutered male, approximately 3 years. He takes time to adjust to new people but becomes a very clingy purr machine once he gets settled in. He is a smaller cat, up to date on all his shots and microchipped; he has excellent litter box habits.
Due to an infection as a kitten, he has a problem with a scarred tear duct of his right eye, which causes a tear discharge on his face – easily cleaned with a wash cloth or cosmetic pad if it builds up, but often he is able to clean it himself. He was seen by a veterinary ophthalmologist about this problem, and records are available on that.
He is not a fan of dogs, and a dog-free home is a must (even if you have dogs who are “cat friendly”. He is fine with other cats, but has lived as an “only cat” for an extended period of time so shouldn’t have an issue adapting to either situation. He hasn’t been around children, but I suspect he would be comfortable with older ones who are respectful of cats.
⭐️ There is no rehoming fee for Opie, but we will be vetting all applicants to ensure this special boy goes to a safe & loving home. Please reach out now to meet sweet Opie 😸
