Story
Max is about 9 years old and his brother Sam is about 7 years old. They are brothers from different litters. Max is pretty outgoing and Sam is a little more shy. He’ll run and hide when someone knocks on the door. Then he’ll come out to visit after a little while. They both love rubbing up against you. Max is the lap cat that loves being talked to and loved on. Sam is the total opposite, he loves to be petted but doesn’t really like to sit on your lap. They are both ready to eat when you wake up in the morning. They sit by the door where there food is until I feed them. Now Max had surgery on his right ear from a hematoma a few years ago but he is fine now. He needs his ears cleaned out about every 2 weeks to keep them clean. I do the same to Sam while I’m at it. I also trim the tips of their nails to keep them trimmed. Other than that they love to run and play together and chase each other around. They have always been together so I’d like them to go together when adopted.

Story
Cottonwood is about a year or two old and a wonderful kitty. He is very loving and affectionate. He gets along great with our dogs and children and wants nothing more than to be pet and loved and find a comfy spot to lounge. He will do best in a house with another affectionate indoor cat and with someone who can give him a lot of love. We hoped to be able to keep him but will be traveling for work soon and want to find him a home that will be able to give him the love and attention he needs.

Story
Meet Patch! This super sweet boy loves affection and being part of the family. Head scratches are the best! I bet he would bring a lot of joy and warmth to everybody around him. He is a great snuggler and he wants to burrow right into your heart! As you can see, I'm a big guy. But, that means I'm a super snuggler. It's my superpower. I might look like an intimidating force, but really, I'm kind of a chicken. I love seeing so many new faces every day, but it's hard for me to muster up the courage to come greet you all at the door. If you want to be my friend, I'd really like that. You'll have to take the first step. Just talk to me a bit - tell me about your day. Talk about the wather. Boost my confidence and tell me how handsome I am or how beautiful my eyes are. I'll soften up, I promise. You can even reach in and touch me. I really, like head rubs. And I love when people scratch my chin. I'm an expert couch buddy, lap sitter, and bed warmer. I'm just looking for a quiet place to call my own. When you take me home, please be patient with me. It's going to take me a bit to get used to my surroundings. I promise that I'm happy to be there.
