"Hello, my name's Archie! I'm a happy, gentle guy who thrives on life's small pleasures, like snacking on treats and lying in the sun. I enjoy energetic activities like climbing and playing with my foster buddy, Arlo, but you'll also find me curled up with my favorite humans. Much like the color of my fur, I radiate sunshine wherever I go! Will you make me yours? Find out more here!"
Arlo, 10 Months

"Hi, I'm Arlo! I was born with the neurological condition cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), which makes me wobble when I walk. Movement can be difficult, but I don't let it bring me down! I'm very playful and love socializing with people, other cats, and even dogs—I'm known as "Mr. Purrsonality," after all. I'm also a snuggler. Will you be my forever friend? Check out more information here!"

Breezy, 3

Meet Breezy! This gorgeous calico has the prettiest markings and a lovely personality. Her old family sadly had to put her up for adoption, but her foster fam thinks she'll be scooped up in no time. She adores napping and snuggling on people's laps, along with getting ear scratches. She would be great in a home with people and other cats—no small children, please!
