Story
Lily, a 7 year old indoor-outdoor cat in fine health, likes to have her head scratched and her back rubbed. Her tan-patched white coat and fluffy toast-colored tail make her a fine house decoration! She's usually near her person -- on the desk walking over the laptop keyboard, on the bed at night, on the recliner's footrest. She is a skillful hunter and would make a good barn cat except that she really likes to be in the house. I took in Lily and her sister Lucy when their owner had to move away suddenly and asked if I would take them. But I don't want cats (or any other responsibility) in my life at this point, and need to pass on Lily while she is still healthy and full of life.

Story
Lucy, a 7 year old, indoor-outdoor, medium-hair calico in fine health, came to me with her sister Lily when a friend had to move suddenly and asked me to take her cats. With a ruff around her face, a colorful tail and ornamental white, black and tan patches Lucy makes a great house decoration. She likes a head scratch and bit of rubbing-up, and being in a lap or on the bed with her human. When she thinks it's dinner time she sits and stares at me and makes little hinting sounds, and if not getting prompt results she does little bounces. She enjoys going outdoors when the weather's good but likes indoors best.

Story
Jake is a very friendly indoor cat and enjoys being petted. When he lays in your lap, bed, etc he loves affection and his belly rubbed. I have a disability and 2 other cats and a dog, so its become too expensive and hard for me to handle. I live in the country with a lot of trees and pollen around me, so he has seasonal allergies that I sometimes have to treat when necessary. I think living in a different environment will improve those allergies. He is not a picky eater at all, so maintaining his weight is important. Please help me rehome him. Thank you!

Rosa is simply the best! She is a lap sitter, couch lover, head butt giver and just all around amazing cat. You should see her play and jump as high as the sky for her toys. If you meet her, you will love her. Her coat is silky smooth and therapy to touch. She likes other cats and her sister Harriett if you are looking for a pair. If not, she will do well in a family that has lots of time and love to give her.https://youtube.com/shorts/OTZ1GytyMow?feature=sharedShe is available to meet at Cat Tales Cat Cafe!
