Story
Darby is a very sweet 6-yr old muted calico cat. She likes to snuggle and enjoys one-on-one attention. Darby does not like sharing her space with dogs and would do best in a calm environment with someone that would like a lazy cat. Darby is spayed, does not have her front claws and is an inside only cat. She had her last shots in 2021.

Story
This is Lady! I do not know her real age. Lady came to me as a pregnant stray, about 12 years ago. She is incredibly sweet, loves pets and pats and strings, and even belly rubs! Be warned though: She has claws and does enjoy an occasional rough play. Due to her age, she does not always maintain her own coat and needs to be brushed daily. Lady also requires her nails to be trimmed as she does not "pop" her claws often at all. Lady does have medial needs. She has many, many skin allergies and will scratch herself around her face, ears, and chin, but this has been controlled by vet visits roughly 3-6 months apart during which she receives a steroid shot called the Depo (different from the human version!). The shot is also supplemented with topical creams (Animax) for any hotspots that develop. Lady is bonded with Nova, who will be 9 years in March, and so both MUST go together. Lady had been an outside cat but is now STRICTLY Indoors.

Story
Nova is 9years. Nova was brought home to Lady as a weaned kitten and has been attached to her since. Nova is highly curious and very much wants to investigate new things and areas all the time. Nova is incredibly people friendly and enjoys being picked up and carried like a child. Nova has a quirk about her - she enjoys licking and playing with all kinds of plastic! She does not eat people food, but does want to sniff at times. She has never stolen from a plate. Nova loves to climb and sit on counters and cabinets to better supervise her household. She can be a little jealous, as when Lady is being snuggled, Nova will wiggle her way in too. Nova loves to chat and talk with people and ekekek at the birds. While she is docile and gentle, she does make her displeasure known in little growls and grumbles, but fear not! She has never bitten. Nova has her claws and uses them in play often, but can be gentle with hands. Her favorite toy is a mouse. She has always been an inside cat.
