They are use to other dogs and cats, and would go to the dog park so they play well with others! Stella is super cuddly, she would spend all day on your lap if you gave her the time!

Sue is a 9 year old domestic cat that was in a life or death situation when she was surrendered.

Kilo is a 2 year old domestic cat that was found as a stray and never claimed! This handsome chunk is a thick boy, he will eat anything in sight and LOVES temptations.

This sweet girl went straight into foster and spent many weeks being spoiled and loved by her foster family! Polly is very affectionate, she loves being pet and will nudge her head into you looking for all of the attention! She seems to be okay with other cats and would do well in an active home as she is always looking to be in the loop! Polly has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed.

Loki is a 2 year old long haired handsome man. Loki is the main man and wants to be tended to accordingly, so being the only pet in the household is ideal! Loki is an incredibly playful guy who would like to be played with daily and receive lots of stimulation. In his current home he has begun clicker training and absolutely loves it! He knows sit, paw, high five and to come to his name. He purrs whenever training sessions start and looks forward to it every morning. He loves all of the puzzles and snuffle mats that we have given him and would love if he could have some in his new home. We have not come across a food that he doesn’t like! Treats and food alike, he is very food motivated and will always want a piece of your meals (you will need to pay the cheese tax). He does seem a bit food insecure, so consistent feeding times would be best. He is a very chatty man and loves to tell you when he needs something. He is a very snuggly boy once he warms up but he knows his boundaries and if you understand cat body language you will be able to tell when he has had enough. This goes for combing as well which he seems to enjoy but will let you know when enough is enough. Overall, Loki would do best in a home where he can be the king of the roost. somewhere he can receive lots of stimulation both physically and mentally! With more exposure he may even be a great adventure cat! Loki has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
