Story
It is with a heavy heart I am rehoming my boy. He is a 12 year old loving senior cat. He is declawed (by previous owner), indoors only, and a mix of blue Russian and long haired ragdoll. He has no health issues and updated on all shots (I can provide records). His favorite thing is to sleep in his towers and get brushed. He loves catnip, rolling on concrete, greeting you at the front door, and purring next to you on the couch. He’s very social and loving. Great with other cats. He only likes dry food and free feeds throughout the day. His care is low matinance but he loves attention so having someone who is home more than us would be the best thing for him.

Story
Bruce was adopted at 9 years old from a senior who passed away. All he wants is to sit next to you on the couch, make biscuits, and get pet. He is so affectionate and will be your little shadow. He loves to sit in his tower (you will receive) and lookout over the house hold. He eats dry kibble and has no dietary issues, urinary issues, or special needs. He does get anxious being left alone and will eat all your household plants (no matter what you try). Like a toddler, he can act out if you’re not with him so he needs a home where someone can be with him and he can follow around. He is declawed, great with other animals, okay with kids (he doesn’t mind them just stays away) and just wants attention. He is the sweetest boy and we are so sad to give up our grumpy man. His last vet visit was October 19,2024 with a clean bill of health!

Story
Update March 2024: Tofu does well around other cats, however she is not socially interactive with Humans. Tofu was rescued as young kitten (born at the Rio Cuale) and brought back to our shelter. Despite our efforts to socialize her, she's basically feral. She would need a person familiar with feral cats to live a happy life. So for now, she is with us in Punta Mita, living her best life with food, shelter and the company of other cats.Tofu has had our complete Cat protocol :* Complete Health exam by a Vet* Feline tests to rule out FeLV, FIV & Heartworm* Bloodwork 1: CBC (Mycoplasma check if indicated)* Bloodwork 2: Chem profile* Deworming at intake and monthly thereafter* Vaccines: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), Feline Distemper (FP), Calicivirus (FCV), Rabies* Spay/Neuter* Flea/Tick prevention* Microchipping available

Story
Ori is such a sweet girl! She is more reserved than the others but she likes quiet and calm affection and really likes return visitors who she gets to know! Once she gets to know her human friends - she remembers them and will say hi and reach out to them. She may need some quiet support to get comfortable initially to transition as she can be reserved at first, but she will come out of her shell!Ori has had our complete Cat protocol :* Complete Health exam by a Vet* Feline tests to rule out FeLV, FIV & Heartworm* Bloodwork 1: CBC (Mycoplasma check if indicated)* Bloodwork 2: Chem profile* Deworming at intake and monthly thereafter* Vaccines: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), Feline Distemper (FP), Calicivirus (FCV), Rabies* Spay/Neuter* Flea/Tick prevention* Microchipping available
