Partnerships and Grants

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!

  • 🍵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.

  • 🍵Bean

    The last of the coffee kittens, Bean was diagnosed with FIP late last year. He went under 84 days of treatment and his bloodwork has declared him cured. He gets along very well with Leonard, Wesley, and Reed. Bean needs to find a home with one of these buddies or enter a home with another friendly car or kitten. He gets very lonely without another cat.

  • 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 loves other cats.

  • 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.

  • 🍵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 and young cats.

    Leonard had all of his teeth surgically removed due to stomatitis, a condition causing painful oral inflammation. He3 can eat kibble whole but currently favors canned food.

  • 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!
