Lexi Jo, sweetest girl ever!
I adopted Lexi, my first kitty to adopt from Happy Cats, back in 2012. She is precious. When I first came to meet her, she was a kitten and extremely nervous. I remember being told by one of the staff that she might not be ready to go to a new home yet but...
Adventures with Kuro
Handsome pantherette Kuro came to us when her people inherited her but realized she didn't get along with their other cat. She had been declawed, so that could have been part of the issue. She tended to show her stress by going outside the box. We have a great track...
Snipe & Yetti
Part of a group of catolescents who had a rough start as kittens, these little "monsters" were anything but! A little shy when they first came in, they soon got brave and found their family with Becca and Isaac. They tell us, "Oh my goodness, we are absolutely loving...

Look at you, Lucy Lou!
Senior Lucy came to us when her elderly guardian couldn't care for her any more. She'd grown up with a sister, but had lost her 8 years before, becoming increasingly withdrawn. She came with her very own cat tree and spent lots of time in it, observing the action in...
Luna & Bear: meant to be
Stunning Masha is one of the rare blue-eyed cats who isn't deaf. She'd been surviving for a year in an alley where she was abandoned. Neighbors had been feeding her and caught her kittens but left her outside. The day our TNR Coordinator Barb went to trap her, it was...
