Story
Romeo came to me because a friend had to move in a short amount of time and couldn’t take him. I already have 4 cats and three dogs. Plus chickens, ducks, and goats. Romeo is a very sweet lovable cat that just wants to be loved. He loves to sit and be petted, he follows me around when I am feeding the other animals. He was 2 in October. He gets along great with all my animals except my 2 female cats. Has no problem with the males.He is a sweet boy like I said and really deserves to have a good home with lots of attention.

Story
Hi, I am Felicity, they thought I was a feral cat and trapped me at a really rough property and I promptly had kittens prematurely in the trap. Once they found I was friendly they immediately brought me to a foster who took me and my babies too the vet. We were in rough shape, malnourished, full of parasites, babies all born with conjunctivitis. Despite all the effort, 4 babies were lost. My sweet Pixie and Smokey went to NHA and were adopted. I moved to new foster because I was having an allergy issue - the vet thought maybe just one flea was a problem. Must have been it because I am fine now. About me - I LOVE people, and want cat friends. I don't like being alone and change is a bit scary for me. I might act tough, hissy so on, but I don't mean it - even when my foster dad had to give my kittens medicine I would growl at him, put a paw on him or put my mouth on his hand but I didn't act on it -just letting him know he better take care of my babies. I love dangling toys -sticks with feathers. And I am a big fan of churo's -and Chewy's tiny tiger chunky food. I was a good Mom just too young in a bad situation.

Story
Hi, I'm Gladis. The vet said I had been outside a long time and when my fosters got me initially, I was so thin I couldn't get the dental surgery I needed. I did get healthier and had 7 teeth removed, one very abscessed (even though I didn't have many teeth to start with). My mouth feels so much better now! I have been able to expand beyond the pate cat food to a variety of dry foods and kitty snacks (btw, I LOVE those). Now that I feel better, I want to eat different foods all the time. My fosters say I'm too picky now; I think I deserve some pampering. I'm very old, very resilient and would like a quiet home where I can be loved for who I am despite my special needs. I always poop in the litterbox, but my aim for pee isn't always good. Sometimes I forget to squat and sometimes I have just my front feet in. My fosters put puppy pads around my litterbox -they aren't sure if I do this because I was declawed or am just ancient. They did find a special litter for me that is made out of grass. I am a love bug. I liked to be carried around but I growl at the other cats at my fosters so I would likely do best as the only cat.

Story
Hi, I am Lala. I'm curious and social and I get along with everyone. Just one thing to know for me is I am allergic to any type of flea collar. Oh and if you are looking for two cats, Zeke is my friend. We came from the same place and get along really well.
