Story
Sabrina would be a wonderful cat for you if you could be patient with her. She enjoys being petted and picked up if you approach her slowly and reassure her that everything is fine. She has spent a few months in foster care and is now ready to find a home. She was discovered in a colony back in July and taken to be spayed. Since her rescuer hated the idea of returning her to an undesirable area, they contacted us, and we were able to find her a foster home.January 15, 2025, 3:51 pm

Story
Albanese is a 5-month-old gray short-haired kitten with more energy than your morning coffee and enough charm to get away with anything. She packs endless joy into her tiny frame, enjoys cuddles, and melts for gentle ear rubs. This sweet girl is socialized with other cats and is easy to hold. Her friendly nature makes her a wonderful fit for almost any family. Albanese has nerve damage in her front right leg due to an accident, but she refuses to let it slow her down. She climbs, runs, and plays like she’s auditioning for Kitten Cirque du Soleil. Which makes her a happy, healthy tripod cat. Looking for a fearless, funny, determined little kitten who will entertain you and snuggle with you? Albanese is ready to bring the chaos and the cuddles.🩶🐾 Located in Jacksonville, Florida, but willing to travel and meet within 2 hours of Jacksonville. Will also provide favorite cat toys. Albanese's brother is also available if you wish to inquire about adopting the pair.

Story
Meet Smokey - Professional Lap-Sitter looking for Full-Time Position in your Heart 13 years old FIV+ Has a benign Cyst (I will pay to have it removed. He just needs a home to recover in) Neutered & vaccinated Litter trained Smokey is exceptionally sweet, affectionate, and people-oriented. Enjoys being on laps or resting at your feet. Very gentle demeanor; uses a soft, shy meow for attention. Friendly and trusting despite his outdoor history. His calm and steady presence makes him an excellent indoor companion. He thrives on human interaction and would be an excellent companion for someone seeking a low-key, loving senior cat. Good with kids ages 8+ Is territorial with some Male cats. Not particularly scared of dogs unless they chase him. If you’ve been looking for a gentle, grateful companion, Smokey is waiting for you. Will provide an automatic feeder, water fountain, and litter for him. Located on Normandy between Fouraker Rd and Memorial Park Rd

Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We got her as a rescue from a post on Nextdoor, her previous owner had moved into a smaller apartment and the other cats were bullying her, she was hiding under their kitchen cabinets all day. She is about 3 years old, actually very sweet and playful, but also has high anxiety, has been living in our house (no other cats) for nine months and is still skittish, will scurry away when we walk toward or by her, hesitant to eat if we are in the kitchen where her bowl is, etc. We think she may do better with a female owner, we are two single males and wonder if she needs someone with more time to bring her around. The lady we got her from said she was the only person she'd let pick her up, and we haven't been granted that privilege so far. Just hoping for a better situation for her.
