Story
Name: Celo Age: 4 years old Birthday: July 4th Personality: Celo is a very playful and curious cat. He enjoys exploring his surroundings and playing with toys. He can be both independent and affectionate, often seeking attention when he’s in the mood for cuddles. Health: Celo has received his rabies shot. However, I am not aware of any other vaccinations from his previous owner. It’s recommended that he see a vet for a full health check and to get updated on any vaccinations. Rehoming: I'm currently looking for a loving family to rehome him. He would be a great companion for someone who can provide him with lots of attention, playtime, and a safe environment.

Story
Are you ready to welcome a little black magic into your life? Look no further than Ghost, the charming house panther with a heart of gold! This handsome 8 month-old kitten is breaking stereotypes and stealing hearts.With his sleek black fur and soulful eyes, Ghost is more than just a pretty face; he's a bundle of love waiting to brighten up your world. From the moment you meet him, you'll be enchanted by his sweet purrs and playful antics. Given up to a local shelter due to allergies, Ghost is not your ordinary kitten; he's an affectionate cuddle bug who enjoys nothing more than curling up in next to you while you watch TV or sharing your bed at night. He's a social butterfly who thrives on human interaction, loves to play and be involved in what you are doing. He sometimes gets carried away in play and will use your hand as a toy so not a good choice for a home with young children. Bombay cats are medium-sized cats with a muscular build. At first glance, a Bombay kitty might look like your average cat with black fur. But upon closer look, you notice that their noses and paw pads are also black. Even their whiskers are usually black. They're also shinier than your average black cat. Their glossy coats have a patent leather-like shine, because they were specifically bred to look like a black panther. Because they're highly active and playful, Bombay cats love environments with plenty of opportunities to climb and explore. Cat trees, cat shelves and interactive toys are must-haves for Bombay kittens and adults alike. It's true that black cats like Ghost are often overlooked for adoption, but he's here to change that narrative. Don't let his color fool you; he's just as loving and wonderful as cats of any other hue. Give Ghost the chance he deserves, and you'll be rewarded with a lifetime of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories! Make him yours!! Posted 1/27/25

Story
Tony Tino is the most dog-like cat I’ve ever known. He loves to lick you, follow you around, and comes running when you call his name. His favorite toy is sisal rope (loves tug-of-war) and his favorite spot is right next to you. If you’re looking for a best friend in a black panther then look no further, he’s the one for you!

Story
Rehoming Two Very Affectionate Cats I am faced with the difficult decision of finding a new home for my two sweetheart cats. They are two years old and from the same litter. Healthy, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccines. Due to financial circumstances, I am moving in with my family, where there is a dog that is aggressive towards cats. To ensure their safety and well-being, I am seeking a kind, safe, and loving home where they can continue to thrive together. Please see the attached photos. If you are interested in providing a forever home for Moose and Bao, or if you know of someone who might be, please reach out to me at the email provided. Your kindness and assistance in spreading the word are greatly appreciated. Gratefully, Isabel

Story
Boots is an incredibly loving, high-energy boy. This spirited guy was living on the streets of Baltimore for his first few months of life before I rescued him. From the outset, he was the sweetest - and most playful - cat I've met. In the over two years I've had him, he's never hissed at me, and loves to sleep under a blanket by my feet - or on them. He's spent a lot of time with a couple golden retrievers, who are his best friends, so he typically can be good with dogs (or get accustomed to them). Boots has a lot of energy and loves being around people; he should go to a home with someone who can play with him and keep him entertained.

Story
Are you an introvert? Love reading books or watching a movie with a cuddle buddy on your lap? If so, this is your guy! Sassafras Swirl is an introvert too. He arrived at my door a little over a year ago. He was emaciated and wasn't going to make it. I started feeding him, fell in love with him, and brought him inside. He was clearly a former housecat. Sassafras had a PU (perineal urethrostomy) surgery in December. That, along with a prescription diet and being separated from my other cats, seems to have fully resolved his FLUTD (feline lower urinary tract disease) issues. I have 3 cats and he is bullied by one of them. I've "tried it all" and there is no resolving it. For his health, I keep him separated, but it breaks my heart. He would love a home of his own with no other pets or kids. He has made huge strides in the past year! He's a shy, low energy guy, with anxiety who would love a pet parent who can relate, and give him time and space to come out of his shell even more.
