Story
Buddy is a friendly male approximately 11 month old cat that loves attention, loves to snuggle and to play. He is friendly with adults but isn’t sure about kids. Seems to get anxious around the grand kids. The only behaviors he has is jumping on counters even though he knows he’s not supposed to get on them. Will jump down quickly when knows he’s caught. Always uses litter box and is fully vaccinated and neutered. Daughter will be moving and person she is moving in with has 2 cats so they can’t have a 3rd. Really need a good home for Buddy to be loved on. If you could help us out, and be that for him, we would really appreciate it.

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
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
Champagne is approximately 4 years old. She is an extremely friendly, unaggressive, and sweet, lovable cat. She is unamused and shows zero interest with other animals but has not been aggressive towards them. She prefers to spend most of her time lazing around on the couch or in a cat tree unless you taunt her out with a laser pointer which she loves. I adopted her from the ARL as she was abandoned by her previous owners. After 14 full months of ownership, she has not warmed up to my two very friendly dogs, and will stay hidden indefinitely as long as they are present. I just feel that she deserves to feel more comfortable with her surroundings and I just want her to be happy.

Story
Ove was picked up as a stray when he was about 7 weeks old. My sister found him after we read the book "A Man Called Ove" together. Where an old man and a cat go through life together. A recent movie adaptation was made with Tom Hanks if you have seen that one. Ove has lived with a few different people in my family. He lived with my parents first while my sister was briefly living at home. He then lived with her and her other cat when she moved out. He does OK with other cat but he can get a little territorial as a male. He does have a little peeing issue where he marks. That is why my sister had to give him to me. He lived with her for 4 years. He has been with us for 4 years and now that we have a baby, we don't have time to dedicate to him like we used to. He is such a loving cat, if he could just cuddle with someone for 20 hours a day, he would be the happiest cat around. It breaks our hearts, but we need to have him go to another loving home. He has all of his claws.

Story
Bootsie is14yrs old and needs a good home. Moving from the southside soon and I can't take her. Mild temperament. Loves treats twice a day and evening scratches. Typical that she keeps to herself and sleeps all day so low maintenance. Spayed and declawed front paws. I believe her breed is Manx but not positive. Comes with litter, litter box, food, treats, toys!
