In the shelter’s words
Mimosa’s story began in the most unexpected way — she came into our care as a TNR kitty, and while safely in a trap awaiting her spay appointment, she surprised everyone by giving birth to a litter of tiny, bright-orange kittens. In that moment, we saw exactly who Mimosa truly is: a gentle, devoted mama with the softest heart. As her kittens grew, we learned something else about Mimosa — she wasn’t meant to return to outdoor life. She was suffering from severe allergies that caused painful skin infections, nonstop scratching, and constant discomfort, along with asthma that made breathing a daily struggle. With the safety of indoor life, loving medical care, a special diet, and medication, her transformation has been nothing short of miraculous. Her skin healed, her coat softened, and her eyes began to shine again. Mimosa will always have asthma, but it doesn’t define her. What defines her is her quiet sweetness, her gentle affection, and the way she leans into love once she knows she’s safe. She’s a shy girl at first, but when she trusts you, she offers the most tender companionship — soft purrs, slow blinks, and a presence that feels like peace. While in foster care, she has even taken on the role as a surrogate "foster mom" to several litters of kittens, providing them with nurturing & comfort - she is truly a gentle loving soul with so much love to give. Mimosa is looking for a calm, understanding home where she can continue to blossom, be cherished, and finally experience a life where she is the one being nurtured. She has given so much love in her life — now she’s ready to receive it. If you believe that every cat, no matter their medical needs, deserves a warm bed, a kind heart, and a forever home… Mimosa is waiting for you. This cat's adoption fee is $75. Many cats do so much better in pairs, especially kittens, which is why we offer a reduced adoption fee of $25 for the second cat (or more!).

We have an extensive application process where veterinary references are checked (we require all current and past animals have been altered and that the client shows a history of good vet care) and we has a number of questions targeted at encouraging the adopting family to really consider if they are ready financially and emotionally to support an animal life long. We also try to match the right animal with the right home with consideration to the adopters previous animal experience, energy level, and general personality. After reviewing and approving and applicant (on paper), we meet with them and all members of their house hold including other resident dogs. We offer one week trials to ensure this decision is in the best interest of both human and animal. If all parties are confident upon meeting, then we have a contract which also states that if any anytime they are unable to keep the animal, that they will return in to our organization. Adoption fees vary from $100-275 based on age, size, and breed, with $175 as an average.
