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
We rescued Costa as a kitten in August 2022. We fell in love with him immediately!!! Our cats do not go outside and he loves to sit in windows and soak up the sun. He is energetic and a snuggle boy. He will thrive in almost any home environment. He is independent but loves his humans. Our issue is that he does not get along with one of our other cats. He is fine with the dog and the other cats.

Story
Boy was born in my house, May 2010 is mostly white in color and has always been an indoor cat. Has all of his shots up to date, he is a gentle loving baby though it takes him a little time to get acquainted and get used to a ne. He is not the clingy type but is very loving. He likes chasing a string or a light and when he sees you are not feeling well or sentimental he is there by your side trying to comfort you. He has had a few episodes of asthma over the year nothing serious, was given meds for a few days and does not take any medication for any reason. It breaks my heart to have to do this but I have relocated and I have health issues this why I can no longer keep him or his sister. He has a sister Princes, born at the same time, she is much darker than him. She takes medication twice a day for her thyroid, is very playful but takes her a little time to get used to you. She’s very loving and has never been separated from her brother Boy. Please keep them together.

Story
Princess was born in my home on May 2010, she is 14 yrs old, she has a thyroid problem that is controlled with medication twice a day and urinary track and kidney food. She is an indoor cat only and has not been with other animals other than her brother Boy. She is very loving and playful, she’s not clingy but will lay next to you and put her little arm on you if you don’t pay attention to her. She’s not too vocal but will speak to you. Her colors are mostly dark, likes to be brushed and at times will sit and watch TV with you. She likes sleeping at the foot of the bed but will sleep in her bed. She has a brother Boy, they have been together all their lives (I WOULD LIKE THEM TO STAY TOGETHER). They can be left alone in a bedroom with the door closed as long as they have water, food and a litter box. They travel well in a carrier, very well behaved in the vets office. They are good with adults and kids once they get to know them..
