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.

Story
Nola is a super sweet girl. She is almost 7. She is a cuddler, super affectionate and very loyal. She is very independent but also likes interaction with her owner and to feel loved back. She loves children and has two other female cat housemates which she gets along with well. She was litter trained when I got her and has never had any accidents. Only thing is she likes to go outside and play but I do not have a fenced in yard for her to roam. She gets sad sometimes when she can't get out but has never torn up anything or displayed aggressive behavior just whimpers and it makes me sad. She will be an amazing companion cat. She will let you hold her, pet her, cuddle with her and dsnt even mind baths. She truly is the perfect cat she just needs more outside time and attention. She loves grass, leaves and nature. With my schedule unfortunately I can't provide that. She truly is a sweetheart.

Story
We got Aura and another cat ( both Female) a couple of years ago from a family that had kittens. Aura has always been a little anxious and had a harder time settling, and after we had a baby she's retreated back to being very reserved and shy. With her anxiousness I believe she would do much better in a home with no other pets and no children. She has had the issue of spraying during heat with the other cat around, which we believe would stop if she got spayed. We do not have the ability to pay for it, which is why we would love to rehome her to someone who can meet all her needs. Aura is independent but also loves to cuddle occasionally. She loves setting in the window to watch outside, her favorite toy is a laser, and of course she loves her catnip.

Story
Hermes is about 4 years old. He and my older cat have never really bonded (they mostly just tolerate each other) and I'm planning to move within the next year and am hoping to find a home for him as going down to just my older cat would be much more manageable for me. He's very high energy so he likes to play and run around quite a bit. He likes wand toys and laser pointers a lot. I've been trying to get him outside on a leash and harness, but that's been just recently. He does need his food levels controlled or he will overeat (he was overweight for awhile but he's back down to a good weight now). Current on shots and healthy. Gets along good with strangers and with the vet. Generally a good natured cat, but a little on the anxious / high-strung side. Doesn't like car rides or being held for long. If you adopt him he can keep his carrier and harness.

Story
Remus is a ball of energy!! He loves to play with any toys that he can chase and he is an incredibly fun cat because he can do full out back flips through the air to catch a toy. He gets along well with dogs however does not know boundaries yet so would do best with any dogs that have patience. Unsure how he is with cats besides being with his siblings prior to being adopted. He’s a very vocal cat and loves to sing and when he does mew it sounds like he is yelling “Hello??? Hellooooo!”, which always causes a laugh! He would do best with someone who can give him the attention he deserves to be able to get out his energy and play. He loves to be near you any time you are around and is very brave and has no fear in trying new things or hearing new noises, etc! He’s still young and less than a year old so definitely can be mouthy but he does not “bite” rather than just play nips. He is house broken and has never had an accident. He LOVES sitting in the windows and watching.
