Story
So I'm moving with my family from a bad situation, and as much as I would love to take lovely Maple with me, I cannot. We do not have the proper resources or environment to take care of her and I want her to go to a happier household. :) One that can care for her, and give her the things she needs, and brush her, things like that. I put 'unknown' on housetrained; not because she's never been in a house, infact she's never really been outside except for when I found her and once after that years ago and she is about 5 years old, but because she has developed a problem with peeing the bed but that could be because of stress because it came out of nowhere. I found her as a stray, just came up to my porch one day. But she is a good cat, doesn't like to be picked up, but very sweet and loving. Skittish as hell, especially of dogs, but absolutely loves snuggles. Good for someone taking it easy, I think.

Story
We rescued Shohei from the streets of Herrin in August 2024. He was in bad shape- flees, ear mites, and worms. All of that has been taken care of. We also had him neutered and got him vaccinated. He is very sweet- all he wants to do is sit in someone’s lap and purr. He looks kind of tough, so his sweet demeanor was a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately he does not get along with other cats, but he loves to snuggle our dog. We will only re-home to someone who wants an indoor cat.
