Story
Lee is the kind of cat who always has to be around people, but doesn't want you to know that he needs it. He's a special little chonker who loves food and a good nap. He also is particularly fond of falling asleep on freshly cleaned laundry and sitting on chair arm rests. I am moving in with my girlfriend who has a cat with FIV, and taking Lee with me is not an option, for many other situation reasons, but one of the main reasons being it wouldn't be a healthy option for Lee to be exposed to FIV, and hence I need to rehome him. If you wan't a fluffy chonky companion for your home, consider Lee boy.

Cappuccino needs a new forever home due to my living situation. She is cuddly, likes to lay near your feet. She likes to run through tunnels. Her favorite toys are laser lights, balls, wands and playing in boxes. She gets along with kids and other cats. She spends most of her time looking out the window. I don’t think her shots are up to date but I can definitely help with that. Cappuccino likes to bring her toy to you to play! Serious inquiries only I need to find Cappuccino a great home!

Story
This is Stormie and Kiki… They met outside as stray cats and quickly became very close to each other and are now a bonded pair and will need to be adopted together. Stormie is a very social boy who loves cuddles, going to the bathroom with you, and laying in your lap. He loves to play fetch with toys and is very playful. Kiki is a vocal girl who can be a little shy, but Stormie gives her the confidence to come out of her shell. She loves to get pets and purr basking in the sunlight. Kiki & Stormie would do good in a house with medium or less noise level, with well-behaved dogs or female cats, and possibly older children. Kiki- black female 1 yr. old, spayed, microchipped, fully vetted Stormie- grey male 4 yr. old, neutered, microchipped, fully vetted There is a $50 (in total) Rehoming fee.

Story
Gem came to me along with another mother and together they raised 10 beautiful babies, Gem had 4. I believe this was her first and her last litter, she was not much more than a kitten herself, she’s maybe a year and a half, if that! She’s s very shy at first, but is a very gentle soul, she just wants to be loved. She’s well behaved and I’m sure would get along well with other cats, she’s with two other moms now. She is completely vetted, including a negative snap test for FIV and FeLV. She would do best in a quiet home with someone who will give her the time to adjust and be the loving cat she is! Please come and meet her. Rehoming fee only to help recoup some of her vetting and care cost!

Story
Tabitha came with another mom and together they raised 10 beautiful babies, 6 were hers. She’s been completely vetted and combo tested negative as well! She is shy at first but warms up pretty well, she has only been around me these last 5 months, she would probably do best with a fairly quiet household, would adapt to another cat with a slow introduction, or she does very well with these other two moms if you are interested in two or more cats! Asking the rehoming fee only to help with part of the costs of vetting and care. Please come meet her!

Story
This is Axel, he was rescued at 2 days old after his mother was killed. He is a hand raised bottle baby who loves people with a wonderful sweet loving disposition and very high energy. He was born August 7th 2024. He is Siamese and American Shorthair mix, all black with a sleek athletic body, wow can this boy can run and play and he loves to climb. Everything is a toy to him, his one trick is he loves to leap into your arms. This rescued litter of kittens is being sponsored by Kennedy's veterinary clinic, the $75 fee covers the neuter, his kitten shots, blood test for FIV/FeLUK, it was negative and a check up. The kitten is in wonderful healthy condition, raised in a home environment, with adult cats and 2 large dogs. He eats can food (Fancy Feast) and Purina Gentle dry food. Axel is very smart, he's a quite talker, he trills and meows while playing, and comes to a jingle bell. Everyone knows black cats have the best personality and he does.

Story
Sam was an outdoor semi feral cat who I was feeding. My goal was to befriend him, get him fixed and vaccinated. Took me 3 months to earn his trust. He was is sweet and decided he didn't want to be outdoors. We couldn't let him in until we knew he was FIV and leukemia negative. His tests were all good, we got his vaccines and got him neutered. We waited to introduce him to our cats. They weren't fans of each other. Talked to his vet and they suggested waiting a couple months while slowly introducing him while testosterone wears off. We tried introducing him to our cats again and he just wanted to fight them. We can't allow this. We have a 12 year old cat in kidney failure and he isn't strong enough to defend himself and two females who he attacked once. Sam does great with our 11 month old lab and teenage kids. He loves kisses and cuddles, loves his toys, treats and learning to use his scratching post. He will be missed greatly but we can't keep the cats separated long term.

Story
Sebastian is a loving senior cat. His humans passed away and I don’t have room or money to keep him. He was declawed so he can’t go outside. He loves to sit on your lap and cuddle and has a loud purr. I really think he will be a great companion for someone who has the time to care and give him all the love he deserves.
