Adopting is one of the best things you can do.
When you adopt, you’re not just giving a deserving cat a home. You’re also giving us back space and resources for the next cat that needs help.

All of our cats and kittens posted for adoption have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for fleas and parasites, combo tested for FeLV/FIV, microchipped, and any known health or behavioral conditions fully disclosed.
The Teacup Emoji🍵 means these cats are currently at the Pawsitive Cafe 🍵
Meet Our Adoptable Cats!
-
🍵Tabitha
Tabitha is a sweet and playful young grey tabby cat, she looks like a kitten but from her age at intake, we think this is about as big as she is going to get. You can meet her at the Pawsitive Cafe anytime during their business hours.
-
🍵Ernest
Ernest is a shy but very food motivated young neutered male cat. He would thrive with someone willing to give him time and love to adjust to a new environment. He is currently at the Pawsitive Cafe, where the staff and volunteers have been encouraging him to come out of his shell.
-
Evangeline & Rainbow Dash 💞
Rainbow Dash is a very friendly, energetic tabby kitten. She has won over little Evangeline, who screams at any other cat or kitten that approaches her that isn't Rainbow Dash.
Evangeline was the runt and is still catching up. Currently she will only eat wet food. We are working on reintroducing kibble to her diet.
Rainbow Dash and Evangeline are looking for a home together.
-
🍵Beverly
A young tabby with swirls in her pattern, Beverly is sweet but can be shy.
-
Wesley
Wesley is a highly food motivated, energetic older kitten. He gets along well with other cats.
-
Falcor *Adoption Pending*
Despite removing all of his teeth, his mouth is inflamed and he is having difficulty eating. He is on another round of steroids and another medication to see if we can find a balance that gives him good quality of life.
-
Reed
A barn kitten who was likely dumped there, Reed is a small boy who currently adores Falcor. He had a bad upper respiratory infection awhile ago that kept him off our adoption listings, but has made a full recovery with antibiotics and supportive care.
-
Roxy⚕️
Roxy needs a special home as she is heartworm positive. She is not a fan of other cats. She needs a calm home for the best outcome for her condition. Heartworm cannot be cured in cats, only managed. She must have monthly flea and parasite Revolution treatment applied to keep the heartworm under control and needs to avoid overstimulation. She's a beautiful tortie, who was left behind in an apartment after her people moved, claiming she was "feral." She has been with us since December 2023.
-
🍵Tori ⚕️
Tori is the rare owner surrender that has made her way to us – because she was in shock and critical condition, having broken her leg after falling out of the 7th story of an apartment building. A good Samaritan contacted us, and her chip was scanned at the emergency vet. Her owners could not afford treatment and so she was surrendered. Her leg could not be saved and was amputated, and she gets around just fine as a tripod. She can be a little shy but does come out at the café to see people when it’s a bit more quiet.
-
🍵Indigo
Ok, First he’s spicy…then he’s incredibly sweet, then he’s sour. This ball of fur is loveable but he’s easily over stimulated. Aside from being a true lord of chaos, he’s a big, beautiful tiger!
-
Leonard
Leonard is a super sweet boy. We have estimated him about 5. He is a low energy snuggly boy. He is one of the best kitties ever. He is great with kittens, currently Bean is one of his favorites.
Leonard was diagnosed with stomatitis and is recovering from having all of his teeth surgically removed. He seems to be much happier already but will be rechecked by his vet in a few weeks to see how his healing went.
-
Toothless
Toothless is a literal name, she had no teeth when she was rescued. To make a long story short, we were able to rescue her and 5 kittens, she was feral-acting at first but now is a big sweetheart. She’s weaned her kittens and is ready to be a solo act. She is tolerant of some cats but we think would be very happy as the only cat in a home.
Congrats to recently adopted kitties!
