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. 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 but unfortunately with my schedule I am not home alot. She loves being loved and showing affection back. She truly is a sweetheart.

Story
Looking to re-home 2 orange tabby ladies. Due to the unfortunate health issues with my dad, leaving them weeks on end home alone is not fair to them. These cats have grown up around kids, dogs and lizards their entire house- so they are used to chaos. Best home situation for them would be a place with plenty of windows to bird watch, and an owner who is around to pay attention to them. They are pretty self sufficient but needing the physical touch from a human. Brix is extremely cuddly- if you have a blanket she is on it. (Sleeping cat) she will snuggle with about anything Mortie- she is busy watching the world and alerting you when there is a cat in your yard. She is snuggly on her terms, meaning you usually wake up with her snuggled against you.

Story
Located in Des Moines, IA. This is Tyrion. 5 year old male. Incredibly affectionate and a perfect lap cat. He is neutered and up to date on shots and vaccines. He has lived with both cats and dogs and would do well on his own, or with a couple other friends. He was my mom's who unfortunately passed away last summer, and I sadly cannot keep him given my current living situation. Free to a loving home.

Story
Adele is the perfect cat for a quiet home with no other pets or kids. She got her name from her dramatic, sing song meows. She is affectionate, but on her own terms. Ideal for a single adult living in an apartment or other small space. I adopted Adele almost 8 years ago. Over time with life changes and additional pets, it has become increasingly apparent that she hasn’t adapted well. It breaks my heart but I need to do what is best for her. I will be moving out of state and adding that on top of her existing stress will not be good for her. I want to find the right person to rehome her with and avoid surrendering her to a shelter.
