Story
Zar is shy at first until he gets to know you. Then he loves being petted and hanging out with you. He can be skittish and anxious and likes to hide. He didn’t do well with another cat or other cats. He will be a good companion to someone without other pets. He was given to me as a kitten without a known birthdate but guessing around January 2024 so currently a little over 1 year old. I have to rehome him because I have to move and landlord doesn’t allow pets.

Story
Olive is a bit more of a timid cat, but she does warm up to people. She likes to keep to herself. She was rescued with her other siblings when I found their stray mother cat was pregnant and about to give birth in the desert in the summer last year. The kittens would likely have not survived without intervention. She has been raised with her brothers, as well as two other cats. She gets along really well with her brothers and I think she would do well with another cat. I have a mellow dog and the cats have no issues with her being around and they even like to rub up against her or sleep next to her. They have been around my grandkids and other family members and warm up to new people quickly.

Olive is a sweet cat who has been raised around her brothers and various dogs. As she has gotten older, she has really come out of her shell. She is rather mellow and good with kids/adults handling her. She LOVES a sink to sleep in :) Her markings are beautiful.
