Story
She was my homeless dad's cat that we should have had for a short while. She has sweet moments, but definitely more feisty ones. She is alittle over a year old. She is extremely curious and her curiosity can get her in trouble. She likes to be around you all the time, but isn't super cuddly. She loves the outdoors, but will go exploring. When rehoming I want to make sure she is placed in good hands that can handle her ever changing personalities and mischief.

Hi. My name is Tori. Tori is a wonderful cat and companion. She loves people, children included. She is not rough, and is quite calm. She likes to cuddle. Also laying around like cats do. She is an indoor cat, has all of her records, and has had no health problems at all. We are relocating and unfortunately cannot take her. We have decided to find her a good home that she deserves. She does get along with other cats, and is indifferent to dogs. She would be a great addition to any loving home.

Story
Lunar came to us last summer with her dad Midnight. She was named by the girl nextdoor. She was 6 lbs then. She is now between 9-10. We added her to our TNR register colony outdoors. She was brought to ARL, a vet, and a neigborhood person because she was trying to get in their house. After the third time I brought her indoors last fall. At that time we had her tested for FIV which she does not have. We have been working with her. We already have 3 indoor cats. She is potty and cage trained. She will come when you call by name. She has also had her pneumonia shots. She will lick and play bite at the same time. Working with her on this. Our reason for rehoming is she chases our other cats. This is creating a lot of tension.. She will head to her room for me or go in the cage. She is afraid and goes to her safe place., Thankyou very much for your time./p>

Story
Looking for a quiet, loving companion? Meet Cinnamon. Cinnamon is my 12-year-old cuddle bug who turned 12 in March. She’s super sweet, gentle, and really just wants to be near someone she trusts. She’ll greet you at the door, curl up in your lap, and happily soak up all the belly rubs you’re willing to give. She’s also a big fan of sunbathing and staring out the window like it’s her full-time job. She’s very low-key and quiet—just a mellow little presence who loves affection and calm energy. Cinnamon would do best as the only pet in a home without kids. From what I was told by the shelter and past owners, she doesn’t do well with children or other animals. But if it’s just you and her? She’ll be your cozy little shadow. The only reason I’m looking to rehome her is because my allergies have gotten worse, and it’s becoming harder to manage her care in the way she deserves. This is a really hard decision for me—I love her so much—but I want her to be in a home where she can thrive.

Story
Penelope has been a very low maintenance, quiet, healthy and friendly cat. She loves greeting visitors at the door. She is very food motivated and loves treats! She prefers to relax in a cozy chair most of the day, or watch birds and squirrels in the window. She is a great cuddle buddy in the evenings and likes to sit on laps and keep us company when we watch tv. She has the softest fur and enjoys pets on the back and head. When she gets in a playful mood she likes chasing balls and rolling in catnip. We are heartbroken to have to rehome her but the other cat that she was bonded to became aggressive and our attempts at reintroduction have all failed. She is not aggressive but she does not like being picked up unless it is by someone she really trusts. She likes children but prefers to watch them from a safe distance. She would thrive in a home where she has some quiet spaces to relax.

Story
Spookaloo is 7 years old. He is a sweet boy who just wants snuggles. He loves to rub faces and follow you around the house. He will herd you to his food dish if he can see the bottom, even if there's still enough food in there to last for a week. He loves to go outside, but only under the cover of darkness. He will come back in within an hour every time. He gets anxious in new places. And will probably hide for the first week he's in your home. He does not get along with dogs and it's very rare he likes another cat. He does well with kids, but does not like to be played rough with. Rehoming due to an upcoming move and time away from home. The time away from home can be up to two weeks at a time. I want him to go to a home where his love cup will be filled daily and he can live out his days in comfort. I'm hoping I can find him a home through here. I do not want to put him in a shelter.
