Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Biscuit is a 4 yo neutered ginger male. He loves being around his people. He is happiest sleeping in your bed and getting belly rubs. He uses a scratcher and litter box without issue. Prefers kibble and a small amount of wet food. He is inquisitive and likes to play but is always down for a good nap. We have found that he prefers to be the only cat in the home so he can have all the attention. He would be great with a family that has kids or as a devoted companion to an adult/couple or elderly owner. Adoption includes dry & wet food, toys, scratcher, treats and litter box if wanted.

Story
We need help finding a loving new home for our nine-year-old, front declawed, tortoise cat, Harper. She is extremely loving, has a strong purr, and loves a solid chest nap. However, environmental factors, including us being home so much during Covid, the addition of a dog, baby brother, and a new home, have caused her to choose to potty (poop and pee) outside her litter box. This has been occurring off and on (mostly on) over the course of the last 4 years despite multiple vets and visits, medicines, different litters, behavioral therapy and attempts to make her comfortable in her environment. Sadly, after feeling as if we have tried everything, including the construction of her own private home within our home, we feel the only way she will be perfectly happy is in another home. The vets have advised she is perfectly healthy and that this is behavioral. She is entirely normal and loving apart from her bathroom antics.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Please meet Sunny! He was found on a very cold day in January 2023 covered in fleas and completely emaciated. He was so thankful for food in his belly and a warm place to sleep that he purred nonstop for days! He can get playful with the laser pointer, however, he is mostly over the kitten craziness. He loves to look outside in between naps and snacks. He does well with dogs and kids that respect his space. He has impeccable litter box skills. Sunny is so very loved at his foster home, but he is so very deserving of his forever home. Sunny is positive for Feline Leukemia (FeLV), which means he needs to be the only cat or live in a FeLV+ house only. Please contact us if you have questions about Feline Leukemia.

Story
I was left outside to fend for myself. I had an abcess on my neck and I didn't feel very good when I was rescued. It is now healed up and I am a pretty happy, healthy guy. I really like guys. Everyone that sees me says that I am a "cool" cat. I love head rubs and people pick me up and hold me like a baby. I don't want to be messed with all the time, but I do love attention. I am playful but not crazy. So, if you are looking for a really neat cat, here I am. If you want to adopt me, here is a link to apply https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/POMH-A-1376
