Story
Reese is a 6yo calico. She is very much an independent lady as she prefers to be left alone but loves to hang out while you’re watching tv or laying down and will make biscuits! She is afraid of kids because mostly they try to pick her up and she does not like to be picked up and handled in that way. She does get along with other cats once she gets used to them. We have another cat that I will also have to put up for rehoming ( stormi ) that she plays with and doesn’t have a problem. My daughter has gotten more and more allergic and I unfortunately have to choose between her health and keeping them so I really want them to go to good home with someone who will love and take care of her as we did.

Story
Stormi is a sweet 6mo that loves cuddles and playing around. She is still a kitten and has the energy to prove it! She gets along very well with other cats and children, I’m unsure about dogs as I don’t have one to test the theory but her sweet personality tells me they would be best friends as long as they like to play. My daughter has gotten highly allergic to our two cats and I’m forced to choose between her health and keeping these two babies unfortunately. Stormi would be a great Christmas gift to your kids!

Story
We got Aura and another cat ( both Female) a couple of years ago from a family that had kittens. Aura has always been a little anxious and had a harder time settling, and after we had a baby she's retreated back to being very reserved and shy. With her anxiousness I believe she would do much better in a home with no other pets and no children. She has had the issue of spraying during heat with the other cat around, which we believe would stop if she got spayed. We do not have the ability to pay for it, which is why we would love to rehome her to someone who can meet all her needs. Aura is independent but also loves to cuddle occasionally. She loves setting in the window to watch outside, her favorite toy is a laser, and of course she loves her catnip.

Story
Hazel is a loving and playful senior cat, who enjoys catnip toys and fluffy cat beds. She is about 11 years old, and is in great health, though she has a sensitive stomach. Due to health issues in the family, I am looking to rehome her. No rehoming fee as long as she goes to an equally loving home with people to play with.

Story
Toby is a young, very playful and affectionate cat. He loves to play with moving toys that make noises, and chirp at birds. For ongoing health reasons, my family can no longer keep him, and the rehoming fee is free as long as he goes to a good home that loves to play and will love him as much as I do. We had him since he was a kitten, and is an indoor cat who has never been outside, so he is unvaccinated.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This sweet girl was found as a stray. She was brought to Furry Friends Refuge to be spayed, when it was discovered she has a birth defect to her front left leg, but she gets around just great. Her Sternum did not form properly before she was born, so her heart is only protected by her skin. She absolutely LOVES people and wants nothing more than to be pet and loved. Although her medical issues may seem a bit scary, Jabari will let nothing stop her and continues to run, jump, and play like any other young cat should. She wouldn't mind living with other cats or low energy dogs but also wouldn't mind keeping the attention of her owner to herself. If you have a safe quiet place in your life for this sweet girl, please contact us to meet her and her foster mom will answer any questions.
