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
Meet Ellie! Ellie was a bottle fed baby found in 2018. I've had her since she was 4 weeks old and she's been an amazing cat. So why rehoming? After joining houses with my husband and husband cats, she gets bullied. She's one of five in our house currently. All of the cats (even ones she's grew up with) bully her. They attack her when she's sleeping, she's eating, or anytime unless a human is right next to her. Ellie absolutely LOVES humans. If she could be strapped to your chest, she would love it. She gets a long well with other cats. She used to be housed with dogs, and did well. But that's been a while. She does have some urinary issues due to being bullied out of the box. My hope is once she realizes she's not going to get bullied, she'll use them. As of now, she goes on potty pads

Story
Princess is an absolute sweetheart who loves to cuddle and cozy up with a warm blanket. She is a year and a half old, and the silliest, wiggliest little girl. She loves her feather toy and lick mat. She needs someone who can give her lots of personal attention, play with her daily and who can keep a consistent routine with her to help manage her anxiety. She was recently diagnosed with OCD, and has issues with being alone for long periods. She can have a lot of anxiety especially around new people and loud noises.

Kaleah was adopted from the Humane Society about a month ago. She has acclimated to our elderly cat, but still attacks our dog. I think she needs to be in a one animal house.

Benedict is 2 yrs old , neuteredand front declawed. He loves all the attention and loves playing with kids.He is a indoor cat only , but loves looking out the windows to enjoy the outdoors. We love him and have enjoyed him and his special personality but unfortunately we can't keep him. We are hopeful for a loving family with no other cats to give him a loving home with an abundance of love and attention.

MELLOWDSH brown tabby male, 10 months old, neutered, owner surrenderMy name is MELLOW and I`m a lover boy! I have a soft brown tabby coat and serious green eyes. I was adopted as a kitten with my brother Pistol. We had a great home and were happy. But things change sometimes, and my first owner could not keep us for life as we planned. So, I`m back at the shelter, and hope to find another kind person to take me home, or maybe take both me and Pistol home together? If you`re searching for a sweet boy (or two), come and find me here.

PARLOWDSH torbie female, 2 years old, spayed, strayAren`t I cute?? They named me PARLOW the day I was brought to the shelter as a stray. I`m about 2 years old and love a good conversation. My coat is soft brown tabby and my eyes are pale green. I`m sure there`s someone special out there who loves good conversation too and needs a friend. If that sounds like you, I would love to meet. I`m spayed and have all my shots and am ready to go home today!

Story
Her name is Skittish, Humane Fort Wayne named her that ironically. However she does live up to it, she’s afraid even of her own shadow. She is so sweet though and loves neck and head scratches. She loves to cuddle you next to you on the sofa or bed. Particularly loves sun bathing. Unfortunately I’m rehoming because I want her to be happy she deserves that. Im not able to be home with her to give her the time and attention she needs. Only coming home around bedtime sucks for the both of us because I know she’s missed me during the day. I hope to release her to a home with more attention I can give. Thank you.
