This is Luna. She was born in August of 2019. Luna's previous owner had to give Luna and her other cat up when she moved into a friend's apartment who preferred a roommate without cats.Luna is outgoing and is the first cat to greet you when you enter her cat room. Luna gets along with the other cats in her cat room but can be a bit of a bully at times. Luna loves human attention! Luna is a confident, large cat and would do well in most homes. Mostly, she just wants a chance to have a home! Please visit our website https://www.lifehouse4animals.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
This pretty black cat with gorgeous green eyes is Marlie. She was born in 2018.Marlie likes attention from people, but does not care much for other cats. She is separated from the rest of the cats in her age group and is always antsy to be let out; she likes to move and walk around. She likes to be petted too, but if she gets tired of it, she can have an attitude for a moment and let you know she's done. However, she is generally a very sweet and calm cat, and she will do absolutely anything for Temptation treats, her favorite thing in the world.Marlie would do best with someone who has prior cat experience and is willing to accept Marlie as she is: mostly affectionate, but with the ability to be a little contrary sometimes.

Story
Coming up on her 5 years at LiFE House anniversary.This pretty tabby girl is Kammi. She was born in April 2019. She and her sister Cola were rescued by a good Samaritan. Both cats experienced some trauma as kittens and were very scared for the first few weeks after coming to Life House. However, they have both made great strides. Kammi and Cola are bonded, and have shared a cat room, just the two of them, for most of their time at Life House.Kammi is shy, but she absolutely loves being petted. As long as you are patient with her, she will open up to you and start approaching you easily. She likes to sit beside people she trusts, curling up beside them or rubbing against them sweetly. She may take longer to feel comfortable than Cola, but she is very cuddly once she trusts you; Cola will get to know you more quickly, but is more likely to play instead. They complement each other well, and they would make wonderful companions and friends for you.Kammi and Cola get along with each other well, but otherwise don't seem to like other cats. They would do best in a quieter household and with someone who has prior cat experience.

She prefers a calm, comfortable environment, with low levels of noise. However, she still enjoys human attention, and she is patient and sweet. Debby likes to be petted and brushed, and she would love most of all to curl up on a comfortable couch or chair beside you.Debby is not aggressive towards other cats, but stays to herself. She prefers the attention of humans. She would love a forever home with someone who will be patient with her and build her confidence.
