Story
Hello! I am looking for a wonderful home for my grandmother's 2 sweet senior kitties. She was placed into an assisted living facility and can no longer have her cats, but they mean the world to her so I am trying to find them the best home possible! Rufus and Ruby are both 15 yrs old, fixed, but not sure about their vaccine history. Ruby: Female, Siamese, beautiful blue eyes! She is very timid with strangers and normally hides when an unknown person comes in the house, but she is an absolute love bug when she warms up. She loves behind the ear and back scratches, and rolling around the floor when she's happy. Rufus: Male, black, bright yellow eyes! He is very friendly and sociable. He can be a bit of a talker! He absolutely loves getting treats. He's the sweetest guy, very mellow but so friendly with people. Unfortunately, these are the only pictures I currently have of them. They are a bonded pair and I would really like to keep them together! Please ask any questions!

Story
I originally took them in because a family member got evicted and couldn’t keep them so they gave them to another home and the kitties were so scared of the other animals in that home so that family gave them back to my family member and then my family member brought them to my house. I decided to let them stay in my room a while as we try to find a forever home for these sweet babies! I’d keep them but the issue is my roommate is allergic to cats so they are forced to stay in my room and they deserve so much more! They are friendly with people and love to cuddle/sleep with me/people! One is “Slim” and the other is “thickums”!

Story
Hello! Meet my boys Bryson and Boyd! I adopted them both from the Humane Society at separate times when they were just a few weeks old. Boyd has the white nose, Bryson is mostly orange. They are both just shy of one year old. A Good Samaritan brought both of them in. As for Bryson, the Good Samaritan found him in a box all alone down by the border. Both cats are very friendly and have never shown behavioral issues. We adopted Boyd first, noticed he seemed kind of lonely, then we adopted Bryson. They bonded immediately once Bryson came home. Unfortunately, we are looking to rehome both of them because a family member has developed a severe allergy to cats that has only gotten worse. We've tried many things to fight it. Otherwise, they are the best cats in the world! Ideally, if we can keep both boys together that would be best. If interested, please apply through here and I will text you immediately! Thank you!

Story
Cat got used to being at home full-time during COVID. Now that the kids are grown and going to school full-time and I have returned to work, one is home during the day, and she pees on the couch. I have put down waterproof blankets, and she goes on those. I have taken her to the vet to make sure it's not something else. She has always had a clean bill of health.

Story
posting this on behalf of my brother who lives in Vista. This sweet kitty (we think he is around 1 years old) came onto my brother's lot a few months ago. He put out flyers and no one claimed him. He is VERY sweet, good with dogs, etc and is looking for a home. We believe he is fixed and not sure about shots or anything as my brother hasn't taken him to the vet. We are looking for a good home for him. My brother is at max capacity with animals and he doesn't want to take him to a shelter. Please text is you're seriously interested. **not sure of breed
