Draven

Meet Draven — the cat who breathes like Darth Vader and somehow makes it completely adorable. At just 2.5 weeks old, little Draven suffered facial trauma that changed the course of his life. We believe he was kicked in the face as a kitten, which left him with a broken lower jaw and an avulsion to his upper jaw. His lower jaw healed up beautifully, but his upper jaw developed a fistula — a tiny hole connecting his gum line to his nasal passage. The result? A permanent case of the sniffles and a signature Darth Vader breathing sound that'll have you quoting Star Wars in no time.

Think of it less as a medical condition and more as a personality feature. Day-to-day, the fistula causes him zero discomfort. It just means Draven comes with a little extra... moisture. You'll be wiping his face like he's a toddler who just discovered a puddle, but honestly? Worth it. This guy has a personality so big it more than makes up for the boogers.

Draven loves other animals and would thrive with a feline companion to hang out with. He also needs a weekly brush to keep his fur mat-free, so if you're the kind of person who enjoys a little grooming routine with your cat, you two are going to get along just fine.

If you've ever wanted a cat that doubles as a Star Wars sound machine and gives you an excuse to use the phrase "I am your father" on a daily basis — Draven is your guy. Apply to meet him today.

Nala

Nala’s story is a little unusual, but that just makes her all the more special. We first heard about her from a local shelter. They said she’d been adopted from us, but when her owner couldn’t reach us (which, for the record, never happened), she was surrendered to the shelter instead. At first, we honestly didn’t have the resources to bring in another cat. But then the shelter told us what would happen if no one stepped in: Nala was so withdrawn and scared, she was at risk of being euthanized. We couldn’t let that happen.

So, we went to get her. And that’s when we discovered the truth—Nala had never been one of our cats. She wasn’t microchipped, and the person who surrendered her had actually adopted a different cat from us. We still don’t know what happened to that cat. But there Nala was, terrified and alone.

At the shelter, Nala was completely shut down. She was frozen in fear, refusing to eat or drink. She had a fever and clearly felt pretty awful. But once we brought her into a foster home, things started to change. With time, patience, and a lot of love, Nala began to heal. She’s still learning to trust, but she’s already showing how resilient and loving she can be.

Now, Nala is looking for a family who will never give up on her. She is declawed. She needs someone patient, who understands that her life hasn’t been easy, and who can give her the time and kindness she needs to fully blossom. Nala deserves a home where she’ll be cherished and safe—where she’ll never be left behind again.

If you’re ready to open your heart to a little cat who wants nothing more than a second chance, please consider applying to adopt Nala. She’s ready for her happily ever after, and we know the right person is out there.
