Story
Benjamin, Benny, is about 8 years old. I originally adopted him from the animal shelter and welcomed him into our home. He was very sweet and cuddly, but I believe his behavior changed when we moved residences and was separated from another cat. We thought the behavior would improve when we got a dog, but it did not. We now have a young child, and his behavior while majority of the time he is calm, almost distant, it is unpredictable. We can no longer chance his behavior around our child. I believe he will thrive in another home with other cats. He is not aggressive towards dogs, as he currently lives with one now. I really do not want to surrender him to the shelter or humane society. I would much rather find a home he will be loved for the remainder of his life. I will give all of his supplies, litter box, food, bowls, etc.

Story
Baby was a kitten when he ran thru my yard 2 1/2 years ago and I have been feeding him since.. He is right eye vision impaired. FOF trapped, neutered, vaccinated for rabies, clipped his ear & returned him to me Jan 21, 2025. About a month ago, I saw a fresh wound on the top of his tail that progressive worsened. I took him to vet and they amputated the end of his tail, updated his rabies vaccine. He tested negative for feline leukemia so I have to wait till December 13th to have the tail sutures removed and receive the 1st feline leukemia vaccine & the booster following. My issue is I have a 15 year old cat that refuses to associate with Baby. Baby has lived on my covered front porch & he would to live indoors. He is so sweet, loving, quiet and longs to be a lap cat. I would keep him if I didn't have my territorial female cat. Baby uses the bathroom outside but used a cat box during his post op stay at the vet. I have cat beds, carrier etc. for Baby.

Story
Zuko is a very sweet, cuddly little man and we love him very much, but unfortunately we can't keep up with his medical needs and give him the care and attention he deserves. He was abandoned in northern VA several years ago and picked us to be his humans while we were visiting family for the holidays, and came back to NC with us in 2022. We don't know his age, but he acts like a little old man. He has 1 sightless eye, which the vet said will not require enucleation unless something changes, and suffers from chronic ear infections and allergies. We suspect his hip was broken at one point and has arthritis, but he still runs around and jumps on things he shouldn't. He loves every person he meets, and tolerates our two dogs, but has an absolute zero tolerance policy for other cats - he will choose violence EVERY time. He will come with a litter robot 4 and a cat tree, as well as various cat toys and beds and bowls, if desired.
