Story
Mamimi was adopted by me from a friend with her siblings when she was very very young. She is about a year old at the moment and loves her brothers. She is very affectionate and loving to everyone. She can be stubborn at times but she will never get tired of playing chasing her toys! Due to the situation I'm going through right now I cannot take care or provide a save home for her and her siblings. She needs a better life that I can cannot give. Please my beautiful angel needs a home.

Story
Adopted from the shelter as a kitten for my birthday, but my mother is constantly complaining about him and I can no longer handle it. He is a calm kitty, compared to others and is used to water and baths. Although an inside cat he is used to being taken outside in his pet bag and can handle loud noises. I have a dog who he has good relationship with, and they’re never fighting with each other. The dog is a small mutt for refrence. He is very playful and likes playing with toys as well! Sometimes I would put nail caps on him and trim his nails to help with the scratching of my furniture. He is the sweetest cat and enjoys cuddles but also enjoys his alone time, please he is free and I just want him in a loving home

Story
May is a very sweet and gentle cat. My wife and I adopted her when she was about 8-9 months old and we've had her 5 years. She is a shy and quiet, uses her litter box and doesn't destroy anything. She was very cute when we first brought her home, hiding in her safe blanket until she was comfortable enough to join us. She loves the outdoors and is a good hunter. She doesn't roam very far and always comes back inside in the evening when we shake the can of treats. Our living situation is changing soon where we need to travel internationally a couple times a year, so we're looking for a good home for May.

Story
Lucy is a 10-year-old mixed breed calico lady, a gentle snugglebug who likes to lay alongside you or in your lap once she gets to know you. She was adopted from a shelter as a "teenager" (young but past kittenhood) and has been a sweet companion to an elderly couple. She can be a bit timid at first in a new situation, and likes to have a dark place to hide while she gets the lay of the land, but she has been the dominant cat in her two-cat household and won't take long to show her queenly colors again. Her companion, Little Bit (who is a larger but more timid cat) is also going up for adoption at the same time. They can be adopted together or separately.
