Story
Meet Elvis, He's about 8 years old and is a very social cat who loves people. He loves to hang out and play. His favorite toys include lazers and string toys. Elvis doesn't know a stranger and loves to talk back to you. He absolutely loves being pet, and laying next to you whether its on a bed or couch he will be there. He is absolutely a great cat. He was part of a litter that was born to my Grandpa, but he's since passed so we are unfortunately unable to keep him and his brother because we are having to sell his house that's why we are rehoming.

Story
His name is Tank and he is about 8 years old. Tank is a very quiet cat that keeps to himself. He mostly prefers to just hang out in the same room or even lay in bed, but still loves a pet every now and then. He loves lazers and ribbon toys. He was one from a litter of my Grandpas cats that I have been taking care of, but he has since passed so we have to find a good home for him. He is an indoor only cat and we would like him to go to the same type of home.

Story
This is Kuro. He was born in 2013 and has only ever been with me and my family. He is neutered. He is extremely loving. He loves kids and other animals and still plays at his old age. We have been put in extremely hard circumstances to where we have had to make the choice to rehome him and our other senior cat as well. Kuro(pronounced koo-roh) means black in Japanese. I named him when I was I was a teen and would greatly prefer he not be renamed. He has been with me from a teen to moving cities to marriage and starting my own family. He is a very special guy and deserves nothing but the best. He has something wrong with his eye and has been to the vet in the past for it. We trialed medication before moving forward with another option. Due to our circumstances we are unable to take him back to the vet to get the treatment he needs for his eye to heal. So please be aware that he will come with some extra expenses. Please someone give him a loving home with the care he needs for his eye.

Story
Butters and Elfo are the sweetest, 2.5 year old brothers! They are bonded and will need to find their forever home together. They love to play, snuggle, and lounge around. I’m unsure how they are with other animals, but with how loving they are I'd be surprised if they didn’t make friends easily! Indoor cats but they LOVE to sit in the window, I leave one open for them everyday. We have been fostering them until we can find them their special home.

Story
3-month-old female. Found. Clawdia (Claws for short) is very affectionate and playful. Especially loves to cuddle and make biscuits on any soft surface. She plays hard, so I suspect she will be a good mouser too. Uses litter box. No fleas, no worms. NOT chipped, vaccinated, or spayed. She has a URI/common cold right now (12/17/2025), but the vet said it should resolve on its own soon. I would love to keep her together with her sister (in photos) since they're already bonded. But if you can only take one, and you want her, then please take her. I can't keep them long-term.
