Story
Olive is amazing! She isn't a bad cat in any sense of the word. She gets along great with other cats and kids. She has the cutest meows and scratches. She is cuddly but, won't stay long if something else interests her. She will stay long if she is tired however. She loves to roam the house and do her own thing but once she finds her person she will stop and meow to let you know that she has seen or acknowledged you. Once that happens she is coming to you for some rubs and cuddles. I am rehoming her due to her fur. My other cat has a different set of hair and doesn't bother my allergies but, olives fur does. I hate to get rid of her for sure but, when my allergies act up it bothers my breathing.

Story
Sonny (FKA Nugget) is looking for their forever home! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Sonny is a sweet kitty who is affectionate, and when he's up for it, he loves to play! He likes looking out any window (bonus points if it's open), looking at himself in the mirror, wand toys, exploring, and trying to drink water out of human cups. He dislikes being touched on the belly, and not being allowed in places where he knows there's things to explore. He is a big "flopper", and let us pet him almost immediately after he arrived home." -------------- Laila's Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any dog is housebroken nor crate trained.

Story
Wally is looking for their forever home! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Wally is a shy but playful cat with a beautiful, thick black coat that you can't help but pet. He's been making amazing progress recently with opening up around his humans and is observant of other animals-preferring to watch instead of playing with them, but has done well when sharing a space with them. He loves to window-watch, and it's even better if you can sit and pet him while he does. Wally is continuing to break out of his shell and has done great living with his yorkie foster sibling and is also in foster with the S kittens!

Kokiri is looking for their forever home! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Kokiri is the sweetest addition to your home. She's extremely cute and fluffy; you'll want to pet her all day. She can be a bit shy with new people or animals, but becomes playful once familiar with you. Her favorite game is hide-and-seek, and she always wins. Besides being the best hide-and-seek player around, she's skilled at running around and then plopping down to take a snooze, preferably curled up near you. If you're interested in an adorable cat you won't be able to stop petting, seek Kokiri! -------------- Laila's Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any cat is housebroken.

Story
Barney is looking for their forever home! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Barney is the definition of a Sour Patch Kid; first they're sour, then they're sweet. He will hiss when you get near the crew or try to pick him up, but once he knows you have good intentions, he is a sucker for some cuddles. He enjoys being held and laying on your lap. He adjusted quickly to his new space and loves having space to run around and play with toy mice, feathers, and his littermates. He tolerates water (baths/cleaning) and loud noises (vacuum) well, especially if there's some treats for his good behavior. He loves other people and didn't seem spooked during a short dog visit. If you want a sweet treat in the form of an adorable kitten in your life, apply for Barney! -------------- Laila's Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any cat is housebroken.

Story
We adopted Rocket at 4 months of age from a local shelter. They told us he was found outside alone and that instantly broke our hearts. Rocket is a super energetic cat and needs a lot of affection. Unfortunately, our schedules have become very busy and we no longer have the time to give him the affection and attention he needs. In addition, Rocket likes to scratch, EVERYTHING. My little kids are afraid of him since he playfully scratches at them. He has a habit of jumping onto our counter as well which is another challenge we have not been able to solve. He truly is a lovable cat and just needs a home where he can be the center of attention!
