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
Due to an incompatibility with young children, Eddie will need to be urgently rehomed by January 2025. Eddie can go home to a home with children 12 and up, but not younger. Eddie is microchipped, litter box trained, up to date on his vaccines, and neutered. Eddie has been socialized with cats and can go home to a home with other cats, preferably a cat his age or older. Eddie is more of a companion cat, laying next to you or in the same room as you, but isn't the best fan for affection from others, though he does great with neck rubs. Eddie has a funny personality and will be sure to keep you entertained with his 6 month old kitten energy. He is very playful and loves to be around people, though hed rather seek you than be seeked by you. If you want an independent cat that won be demanding, Eddie is the perfect cat for you :).

Story
Harry is a 3 year old orange tabby. We have recently had a child and her screams seem to upset him very much. He is a good cat that needs lot of love and we’ve had no problems until now with the baby. He is neutered and very house trained. He likes to sleep and cuddle and chase hair ties. He’s very low maintenance and is really just a normal loving cat but for some reason having the baby has really upset him.

Story
We’ve had him and his brother for 4 years since they were babies. Harry has just never liked my husband and takes it out on items we have (anger issues almost). He is a little apprehensive but loves to talk. he does listen! he loves to sit in the sun and roll in the dirt! Harry is a sweet boy but we just can no longer keep him as he’s caused too much damage to our home. Breaks my heart so I would love to give him to a good home.
