Hello, we are 2 sibling brothers that have a sad story to tell...... we were found as newborn kittens tied up in a trash bag and placed in a trash compactor.

We are very bonded and dream of a home together. We have fought so hard and deserve a chance. Avail NOW

Do not let your cats roam free, and please provide identification for them. Keep your cats safe. Thank you!

Cat Sponsorship.
Maybe you like the look of one of the above cats, but are unable to adopt him or her for yourself? You can always sponsor a kitty - which will make it a lot easier for someone else to adopt. Any amount that you sponsor will be deducted from the adoption fee for that particular cat and you will receive recognition in the cats description for your generosity! (plus, you get to have a nice, warm fuzzy feeling inside - knowing that you are helping a cat in need) ;)
​
Cat sponsorships are proving to be extremely successful, with the vast majority of sponsored cats finding a home quickly! If you are interested in sponsoring, please complete the form below and be sure to enter the kennel number and brief description of the cat in the message subject line. Please enter the recognition or message (that you would like us to add to the description) in the large box at the bottom of the form.
​
Cat adoption fees are generally $60, You can sponsor more than this amount if you would like to and spread it between as many cats as you want to - just let us know how you would like your sponsorship money split up.
​
After sending the form to us, please use the "Square" button (below) to send your chosen sponsorship amount.
