Story
This is a bonded pair that must be adopted together. They cannot go with other cats. They will fish from any fish tank you have, so if you have a tank do not consider them. This is Sugar Baby and Danny Phantom. They're sweet and need a home together. My coworker got fired and left them at the jobsite so I have been fostering them until I can find a home. This is two cats! In the first picture Danny is in the front and Sugar on top of the couch next to the pink light. They're identical except for eye color. Danny loves indoors only and is a great mouser! Sugar Baby likes to escape the house and return later. She will try her best to run out the door alot but always returns. Would not recommend on a busy street. They're fine with any dogs and nice to kids. They're very well socialized and love to greet everyone. I don't really like cats and would love to give these babies a home where they will be loved. Please message if interested in both only. I can't bear them seperated.

Story
Chiggins is a 3.5-year-old Maine Coon/Tabby mix. He's a big boy (like his Maine Coon father) but has short hair and tabby markings (like his mom). Chiggins gets along wonderfully with dogs. He probably thinks he's a dog. He is much more picky about other cats. He would do best in a home as an only cat and no small children (he's not a fan of their quick movements and unpredictability). Chiggins is a snuggler but can be suspicious of strangers. We've had Chiggins since he was a baby. He's been an exclusively indoor cat but he has all the makings of a great barn kitty too (friendly and independent).

Story
Displaced by hurricane Helene, both girls (sisters) are about 8 months old and are fully vetted and current on vaccines. Both could use a bit of time to decompress and gain some socilaization skills with a new family, as they are a bit shy after their ordeal. Could be adopted together or separated. No rehoming fee, just hoping to find someone to give them a loving permanent home for the holidays!!

Story
This sweet girl is Nala and she is almost 8 years old. We rescued her from an abusive home in 2017. Unfortunately because of this she is very skiddish towards people and other animals. She does get along with dogs, but she would do better in a home with no dogs. She is extremely good with kids, more so than with adults! My youngest daughter is her bestie, but she has developed a severe allergy to cats. She takes awhile to warm up to people but once she does she is very cuddly. She loves her back scratches and getting brushed.

Story
Jiji was a very loved cat, but had to be returned when her mom became ill. Ever since then she’s been very unsure about things. Sometimes this can come out in her hissing, but really she’s just very scared. She loves laying on or in a cat tree, especially by a window. While scared of new people are scary, when she does let you pet her she has the softest fur you’ve ever felt. She has beautiful eyes and the cutest face. Her previous adopter said one of her favorite things about her was how Jiji would start purring really loud just when she would look at her. There has to be someone out there who is patient and understanding, willing to let Jiji adjust to a new forever home.  Her $75 adoption fee covers her spay, vaccines, deworming medication, and flea/tick preventatives and microchip registration.
