I am a super sweet, outgoing little girl who likes to talk! I will tell you all about my day and then we can curl up on the couch together and watch our favorite shows. I would likely do well as an only kitty or with some kitty (or friendly puppy) friends, too! I still have lots of kitten energy, so be ready to play with me! ##2616251##

I am a sweet boyl! My mom was dumped at a farm in Odessa and we were born in the hay bales. The nice people found us and raised us in their garage. Now I'm ready for a safe indoor home with a family who loves me and will never leave me behind!  I would LOVE a kitty playmate in my forever home, but most importantly I need a family who will spend LOTS of time with me! ##2618361##

Story
2 years and 2 months I have been with my foster momma! I was just a wee baby when she got me and my brothers. I have been with her for a long time because I have anxiety and prefer to be the only cat, no dogs, and no kids. I am the usual housecat that likes to lounge around the house in the sun, and in my special bed! I take an oral medication daily for my anxiety. When my foster momma comes in the door I am waiting for her because she knows I love to be pet from my neck down to my tail. If you want a loyal girl who will come to you on her terms give her a loving home! Please give foster mom a call before adopting (813-928-9252, Audrey) ##1641320##

Story
I have kind of a crazy story to share. I was picked up when I was just a tiny baby with ringworm, which is pretty common in outdoor kittens around Florida and also pretty easily treated. Usually. But mine would just not go away, and at one point my whole body was covered in terrible gray, crusty lesions! I had a bacterial skin infection too, so I was on all sorts of medication. I felt so sick! I saw a dermatologist and even they could not really help. But FINALLY after a very long course of antibiotics and anti-fungals, I am ringworm free and cleared for adoption! I will probably always have alopecia (hair loss) from my ordeal, and hyperkeratosis, which means I get little scabs here and there that will eventually fall off. But I'm such a good cat! I am a little skittish sometimes and I have trouble retracting my claws, probably due to scarring from everything I went through, so young kids might not be a great match. When I want love, though, I will be ALL up in your lap/face demanding attention! I cannot get enough! Just be patient with me when we get home; I'll probably hide the first day or so, but it wont be for too long. I get along GREAT with other kitties and sweet doggies, too!! ##1843425##

Story
Jasper is a 4-5 yo male. Chipped & neutered. He is an absolute lover boy! He previously lived on a farm (as the only cat) and moved with me to a house that already had two established adult outdoor cats. We have found out that he needs to be a "one and only" cat. He is territorial and does not tolerate other cats in his space. He has been indoor & indoor/outdoor before and is litter trained. He will go to the door first and cry to be let outside, but will use a litter box. He is happy inside and outside. He is a lap cat and LOVES to kiss and cuddle. He will sleep with you through the night if inside. It absolutely breaks my heart to let him go, but he needs to be in a home where 100% of the love and attention is his and only his.

Story
Casper came to us through a rehome because his original owner wanted him to have cat friends so he wouldn't be bored or lonely. Casper was an only cat. We currently have two cats, Mac and Delia. The shared environment has been overwhelming and stressful for Casper. We have tried many things over the past couple months, including slow introductions, scent swapping, separate spaces, calming diffusers, routine changes, and positive reinforcement. We truly gave it our best effort to help him feel safe 🥺 Despite all of this, Casper still struggles to relax around other cats and the stress has shown up in small ways like occasional litter box issues, which we believe are anxiety-based, not behavioral. When things are calm, Casper is the sweetest boy, very affectionate, loves people, enjoys attention and purrs like crazy. We truly believe Casper would do best as the only pet in a quiet home, where he can feel safe, confident, and relaxed. Oh also he doesn't like chicken 😸
