Story
Katie is a 13-14 year old spayed, dilute calico, low maintenance female cat who is looking for her forever home. She has lived with the same man and woman her entire life but he was recently moved to a nursing home after his wife died and she was not allowed to go with him. I have been fostering her for about 4 months now with the intentions to keep her but she is very distressed by my other two cats. She enjoys the company of my 10 month old baby, my husband, and is okay being near our small 9 pound dog too. All she really wants is a nice big window to curl up in and the occasional lap to snuggle up on. She is a very sweet old lady but gets overwhelmed very easily by the other cats in the house. Katie would do best in a home with no other cats, and preferably no active dogs or children. She is the kind of cat that just likes to relax in her armchair. Katie doesn't really enjoy playing with toys on her own, but will occasionally chase a string toy if you initiate play with her.

Story
Scarlett is 1.5 year old DSH calico with a big personality in a very tiny body. If you're looking for someone to yap with, this is your girl! She is a great companion cat for any other cat--she loves to cuddle and play with any feline friends. She doesn't have much interest in people unless you want to play fetch, and in that case, you're her best friend. She loves hairties and will play with them nonstop. The reason we need to rehome is behavioral. Unfortunately she is not fond of the litter box, and will need someone who is able to work with her regarding this. We believe she may have experienced some trauma while using a litter box previously, and will not use one if someone is in the same room with her. We have tried multiple boxes, litters, enzyme sprays, and pheromones to try to convince her everything is okay, but she will really only pee in the box. If it's number two, she will go directly in front of the box or nearby. She's a special girl for a special person.
