Story
Xena is a 6 year old rescue and has been an indoor cat all her life. She's fairly laid back and would do best in a quiet home. Once comfortable, she can be playful and regularly has zoomies. She'll also be very loving by wanting to lay on you and cuddle, she even drools when she's loving the scratches. One of her favorite pastimes is nature watching out the windows. Her favorite toys are little springs, and she loves anything cardboard box or paper related. The reason we're looking to rehome her is because we think our lifestyle is overwhelming for her. We have multiple pets -- a dog, another cat, and ferrets -- and she can be aggressive towards them, and us at times. Usually this is triggered by a stressful event, like going to the vet, or bumping her on our way through when we aren't paying attention, and it can take a day or two for her to calm down. We think the ideal home for her is calm, low-energy, and somewhere she can be the only pet so she can be her spoiled princess self.

Story
Ammo is a 5 year old male domestic shorthair Indoor/Outdoor cat with double paws and the uncanny ability to find clean laundry to nap on. He loves morning cuddling, is very food-driven, and would make a loving companion to a home in need. My wife and I are moving and we unfortunately cannot bring Ammo with us. He is fully vaccinated, fixed, and in perfect health aside from being slightly overweight. We are re-homing him free of charge and can provide some starter cat supplies if needed (litter box, food, etc.). Please contact Kyle if interested: (207) 346-7340.

Story
The cat lottery distributed Sassy to us when my family member passed away recently. An extra-long, orange gentleman with thumbs on his front paws (polydactyl). He is about 17 years old but by his playful attitude, you would still think he is a kitten. This chatty old guy loves snuggles, scritches and sunbeams. Would love to snuggle up with you on a couch while you watch TV or play fetch when he is feeling spunky. He is very talkative and will let you know when something isn't up to his strict standards, i.e. his kibble bowl is not full enough. Someone who has lots of time to spend with him would be ideal as he is used to a certain lifestyle.
