Nikon

Nikon is a professional napper with a side gig in zoomies. She rotates between her favorite sleeping spots—the bed, a secret closet nook, and the back of the couch—because variety is key to a well-rested life. While she enjoys being a lap cat, she has standards: you must be reclining, preferably with a blanket and/or pillow, so she can achieve the perfect balance of comfort.
Her hobbies include being brushed (her absolute favorite spa treatment), batting around toy mice, and carrying them by the tail like a proud hunter. Nikon doesn’t talk much but occasionally lets out a soft meow to remind you she exists. She's a sweet-natured companion who is sure to win you over!

Nessa

Nessa is a sweet, gentle, and independent cat who loves a calm and cozy lifestyle. She spent the first few years of her life working hard as an office cat and is now looking to retire to a forever home. A true couch potato, she enjoys lounging in her favorite spots, soaking in the quiet around her. While she doesn’t seek out laps on her own, she happily accepts short cuddle sessions when picked up and enjoys being petted.

Well-mannered and easygoing, Nessa always uses her scratching post and litter box. She has a playful side, especially when chasing her favorite laser pointer. With her quiet charm and loving nature, Nessa is looking for a peaceful forever home where she can relax, feel safe, and be adored.

Mrs. Lovett

Mrs. Lovett is an affectionate cat with a taste for comfort and attention. She lives for pets—especially head, back, and belly scratches—and isn’t shy about asking for more with a gentle head butt and a dramatic little meow.
She has a deep appreciation for the finer things in life: soft, tucked-away nap spots, cozy cushions, and a good stretch on a scratching post (with the occasional pillow sacrificed in the name of luxury). She’s also a world-class biscuit maker and loves curling up next to your head on a pillow before retreating to her blanket nest for the night.
Mrs. Lovett brings warmth, charm, and a touch of sass wherever she goes!

With their mix of high-energy fun and sweet, cuddly charm, Shriek makes every day brighter and a lot more entertaining.

Doc Marten

Doc Marten is an introverted kitty with a weak spot for pets. He simply can’t get enough (sometimes even to the point of drooling with joy), especially if you pet his head - top, cheeks, chin. You name it, he loves it! As an introvert, he does enjoy his alone time, but his foster family can tell that he’s growing more playful because sometimes his toys will move while they aren’t looking. A sure way to find Doc Marten is to crack open a can of wet food. He’ll always come running at the promise of a meal. His cutest feature? Doc has extra toes, which make him look like he’s got on a big pair of mittens. Come meet Doc Marten today!

Cobra Bubbles

Cobra Bubbles is a gentle giant who loves nothing more than relaxing with his people. If you happen to sit on a chair, he’ll climb right into your lap. If you lie down on a bed, he’ll join in by laying on top of you. Most of his day is spent just being comfortable on a human bed, but he has been known to be tempted by the view of birds outside the window. Cobra Bubbles finds a lot of comfort in his people, and will nudge them for head scratches. If his people aren’t available, he’s willing to go back to his roots and go undercover - under the covers that is! If you’re hoping for a sweet, gentle, and relaxed kitty, Cobra Bubbles is your guy.

Cornelius

YUKON CORNELIUS!!!!

—is not this cutie’s full name, but don’t let that stop you from seeing him for the lovable and iconic character that he is! Just a few minutes with Cornelius is all it takes to see why he is a volunteer favorite. Gentle, affectionate, and kind, Cornelius is the kind of friend you just feel happy to be around. He might find a calm, quiet nook to relax in when things feel busy, but he welcomes company with an upturned belly and gracious purr. Give him his favorite head pets and he will fall asleep nuzzled into your palm, mid-purr. In addition to pets, Cornelius loves catnip and the crinkly bag it comes in. If you thought “hey, that cat looks like a chill dude”, you’d be 100% spot on. When he’s is done rubbing his face against the catnip, he likes to sit on the bag and chill. Cornelius is a cool cat who approaches new cats with calm curiosity— a true lover, not a fighter. If you are looking for a good vibes cat for your good vibes home, look no further. Cornelius is here, ready to meet you!
