Story
Oreo was one of several feral cats that showed up at my house. I have tamed him as well as 6 others. When he showed up, he was aggressive with the others, so they don't trust him. I have had him about 2.5 years. I am re-homing him because he intimidates the others. He is very sweet and loves to be rubbed. He is used to country living on a quiet road. I think he would get along with dogs once he gets used to them. He loves companionship and attention.

Story
Jiji loves to sunbathe and lay on whatever surface the sun is hitting. She loves reaching for treats and butt scratches. She’s a typical black cat: Loves to chase and hunt things (baby pacifiers and bottle nipples, as of late). She is very loved, and it breaks my heart to have to let her go, but unfortunately our new family dynamic with our new baby makes it really hard to give her the love and care she needs. It’s very hard to keep up with her, our other cat Izzy, our two pups, an old house that refuses to stay clean and the baby. We will only rehome to the right family/person. We will include a litter box and genie (both used but will be thoroughly cleaned), 6 boxes of litter, dry food and storage containers for it, 2 boxes of wet food and treats.

Story
Marceline was found November 2024 at the dumpster in our apartment complex. We took her in to give her a chance. She was likely born August or September 2024. We trained her with a litter box, playing, accepting attention, and also using a crate at night to ensure her safety since we lived in a two-story apartment and she was tiny. She now loves her crate as a safe space, her own bedroom if you will. She willingly goes in at night at 9-9:30 pm or when she needs a break. Although she typically naps on chairs, beds, or the couch during the day. She can be playful, replies when you talk to her, loves a gentle touch when petted, loves to gaze out windows, and plays with our 30 lb dog. She is very intelligent and we talk to her all the time. She has no fear of an accepting dog but is currently wary of other cats and too loud noises. Looking to rehome due to 2 household members now having MCAS. She uses Okocat litter (highly recommend!) and her crate is included.

He had PU surgery last year and requires a prescription diet to prevent kidney/bladder stones from forming. He's 6 years old (estimated birthday is April 2018). Good with all animals and humans and loves the outdoors just as much as the inside.

Story
We adopted Topaz awhile ago. We live in a smaller place with 2 dogs and another cat. She gets along well with them, but it has become a lot to manage 4 animals and 2 litter boxes. She is a very sweet girl who is content just sitting next to you while you do things. She loves food and chasing strings. She is definitely a people cat and would do really well in a one-on-one environment or bigger space for more privacy.

Story
Bonded with Diego.  Mystique will be shy at first but once she trusts you she is very social and wants to be wherever her humans are. She doesn't like to be picked up or held but LOVES to cuddle in your lap on the couch or beside you in bed as long as you let her initiate it. She LOVES to be pet & talked to. She's very chatty she'll follow you around and carry on a conversation. She's loves toys and she plays fetch. She's very good with other friendly kitties but gets picked on by bullyish cats. Good with older kids. (young kids probably too noisy & active for her) Loves all 3 of her foster humans not just one (meaning not bonding with just 1). She is IN LOVE with foster friend cat Diego! They aren't inseparable but she wants to be where he is most of the time. They coo at each other & bathe & nibble on each other. Apply at www.sparklecatrescue.org ##1250836##
