Ember is a sweet girl who was adopted by former friends of ours from the Toledo Humane Society. They had other pets that she hid from in the teenage daughter's room. They brought home a kitten, and she reacted by eliminating outside of the litter box. At that point, despite signing an agreement to return her to the rescue, they put her out of the house. They live on a very busy street, so we took her in. She has been in a very small bedroom in our house with only three 3- hour intervals to roam the house. Our other cat is then confined so she can, which is stressful on him. We tried to integrate them, but she tried to attack him, which is why they are now permanently separated. When we took her to the vet, she was tested for FELV and FIV. The FIV came up positive. However, her vet assured us that she is in good health. She had been vomiting overnight due to the stress of being locked in until morning. But, she no longer vomits since changing how much we feed her and when.

Huey is a sweet, medium-haired orange cat born on March 6, 2025. I adopted him at 8 weeks old from a coworker who could not care for multiple cats, and he quickly became a beloved part of our family. We originally brought Huey home for our children, and he has brought so much joy and affection into our household. Huey is very loving and enjoys being held, rubbed, and cuddled. He loves sunbathing in windows, watching the world outside, and happily accepts treats. Because he is still young, Huey has a playful and energetic personality and does best with regular playtime and interaction. Due to an upcoming move to a home that does not allow pets, we are looking for a new, loving home for Huey. He would do best in a safe, indoor environment with someone who enjoys an affectionate, playful cat and can give him the attention he deserves.
