Story
Fluffer and his litter-mates were found in our garage. Their mother is a neighborhood stray and she gave birth to them under my husbands workbench. This young male adores attention. Once he gets to know you he will insist on chin and head scritches. They're his absolute favorite. Does not enjoy being held but will tolerate being picked up briefly. He's never clawed my husband or I, or company, and is generally well behaved (No jumping on kitchen counters or tabletops, is fully litter trained). He really needs a lot of attention. Would love if there's at least one other cat. He was raised alongside 10 others.

Story
I was born on March 21, 2016. I am mostly white, with a few dark spots, and I have yellow eyes. I am fairly large, weighing about 14 pounds, but I am not overweight. I love to run through the house and play, frequently trying to get my human parents to chase me. I have lived in two different homes since I was adopted in 2016, but I have never had an accident and adapt quickly to the new environment. My parents were retired when I was adopted and we live somewhat far from friends and family. I am subsequently shy around other people, usually hiding when strangers are present, but watching their every move from one of my hiding places. Since moving to Belleville a couple of years ago, a good friend of our family has started visiting us regularly and I like being around him, usually coming out when I hear his voice so he can pet me. My parents give me Temptations treats at 4:00 p.m. every day. Near that time, I find a place between them and the TV and start staring at them as a reminder.

Story
Sherman was born in August, 2021 and came to live with us as soon as he could. It is not easy to surrender him to another family, but he is not happy here with one of our older cats that causes him great stress. Due to that, he will sometimes pee outside of the litter box. He is potty trained and uses the box most of the time, but our vet thinks that he gets anxious around Olive. She taunts him every day and makes him a nervous wreck. We would surrender Olive, but we've had her a lot longer, and our daughter is more attached to her. Sherman loves to cuddle and sleep in our bed, and turns on his little purring motor instantly. We love him dearly, so we really hope someone loving, perhaps with no other cats, will adopt him.

Story
Hello, Everyone meet Skye, the most playful energetic kitten Ive ever met. Believe it or not she is only 5 months old and can fetch and sit, great at traveling and loves to ride in the car. She is very smart and we love teaching her new things, so someone who is willing to spend time with her is desired. We have had her for about 3 months and really enjoy her. She will entertain herself for hours but does like her human companions to interact with and snuggle with. All of the sudden she started to hiss at our senior dog and it is stressing him out so we would like her to go to a home preferably without a dog, we are not sure if she likes other cats or not but she is still a kitten so she is going through kitten changes. She is a strictly indoor cat and must always stay inside since she is declawed.
