Story
Dolly was a 3rd cat in our home 2 years ago and she created some behavioral issues with another cat we had for a few years. The other cat stopped using the litter box. We were able to successfully rehome her 2 years ago but a few months ago she was found as a lost cat and we were still on the microchip. Unable to locate the rehomed owner, we decided to give it a try again. 2 years did not change the behavioral issues and the other cat has stopped using the litter box again. She appears to have had stress issues before she came to us because she has licked herself bald in a few spots. The vet said this was not a skin condition, likely stress from being at the shelter when she was a lost pet.

Story
Soundwave is the loving mother cat to both Spaghetti and Meatball and is looking for a new home to love and relax in after taking care of her two kittens! Soundwave is a cuddly and loving cat who wants to curl up next to where you sit and play with worm on a string toys! She will let you know when she is hungry and when she wants to be pet because she will meow to get your attention, hence the name Soundwave. She used to be an outdoor cat and brought us her kittens after a bad storm in the area so she has great protective instincts! None of the cats in our profile have to go together! They are more than happy going on their own solo adventure!

Oreo like's to lounge and to play :) He has a favorite blanket to lie down on, which will come with him :) He likes to come up to you for affection! Love's dry cat food. He is ALWAYS curious about human food, especially when he see's you eating it lol Good cat, he is my first, but I can no longer keep him. I got Oreo from the local "pound" about almost 5 years ago when he was a kitten. He is NOT declawed though he is "fixed"

Story
Nigel is a domestic short hair black cat who was found in the wood line near Aboite Center Road in 2020. He was starving and someone had chopped off his tail. We took him in two days after the death of our cat and he has grown to be a healthy and vibrant feline. He is very affectionate and clings to those who love him. He was adored by his last owner who died at the age of 97. We are moving and unable to bring him with us. He is in need of a loving home.

Khai was born 5/10/23 and is an extremely loving cuddlebug! Khai is a great cat, but due to relocation for work, I am no longer able to keep him. Up to date on vaccinations, talkative, great with other cats, kids, and looking for a loving home (dog-free). I have had Khai since he was 12 weeks old and it is difficult to rehome him, but I refuse to take him to the shelter. Khai is house trained, loves to zoom from one end of the house to the other, and enjoys playing with other fur babies. He can be a bit curious at times so be sure there are no goodies left on the counter. 😹

Story
We had originally adopted October as a friend for our young child, & a friend for the other 2 felines in the home. October adjusted quickly and was so happy to have friends, cat, dog, child, & adult. She is an extremely loving & lovable girl & deserves all of the treats. She would do good in basically any household, with or without kids, with or without cats and dogs. It does take her time to adjust to a dog, as we have a larger breed, but within the day she couldn’t get enough of our canine companion. However, our other cats do not like her. Our other female will chase her away from the food bowls and the litter boxes, & our male has made it his personal vendetta to antagonize her. We have made many attempts to correct this behavior but it still persists, & with 2 young children in the home, I’m very limited on my options of what I can do. She would make a great ESA or companion for someone with kids or who spends a lot of time at home.
