Story
Hello, no fee bc I don’t want to rehome, he was meant to be a permanent addition, and it feels ick to set a price on family. Cheese is a stray we took in in Sept who followed us home from a walk and stayed in our bushes til we let him in. Hes about a year old and is so sweet but has some behavioral issues, I think mainly bc of how many animals there are in the house and vast differences between outdoors and indoors. Two of our cats and the dog don’t get along with him bc he plays a little rough - he’ll try to play but the older cat doesn’t like him, the younger cat doesn’t understand and doesn’t want to play with him, and the dog is anxious in general, so she gets too riled up when he tries to play with her. He had aggression, but with the neutering and time, he just had an attitude sometimes lol. He can occasionally pee outside of litter from stress/jealousy. Would do best with free feeding and indoor/outdoor (will do fine indoor either lots of space) with few or no other animals.

Story
Widget is a smart, affectionate and energetic cat who will be turning 5 this fall. He loves to play- his favorite toys are the laser pointer and a tape measure. He also loves cuddles- but not on your lap, right on your chest near your face! While Widget gets along well with our older cat, he is always ready for more playtime than our older cat can handle. We have a two year old and are having another baby soon, so our busy family just cant give Widget the attention and play sessions he deserves anymore. We are also touched out so dont have much left for cuddles either. Though I will note he has always been good and patient with my son- even when my son has got a fistful of his fur and I have to run to the rescue. We are looking for a loving home where Widget can get the engagement and cuddles that will let his personality shine. The perfect match would be someone with time for regular play and cozy snuggles with this smart, affectionate guy!

Story
Lightning is a former outdoor cat brought inside over 1.5 years ago. He is an older gentleman at almost 13 years old (2/10) but he still has quite a bit of spunk in in his step. He loves bouncing around the room and chasing his tail. Lightning was neglected by a former owner and walks with a slight limp on his left side. He would appreciate a quiet home with no dogs or other cats and a patient owner who will let him snuggle with you on his own terms. **Lightning is neutered, FIV/FeLV/HW negative and is UTD on all vaccines until September 2026. He has no known health issues at this time.**

Waffles is a cat that is very outgoing, affectionate, and cuddly. He loves hanging out with people and playing with toys. He gets along well with dogs, and sometimes other cats. He was adopted 6 years ago from a local animal shelter. Due to expanding our family and needing to downsize, we have to find a new loving home for him.

Story
Meet Aphrodite (aka Afro) a 13-year-old sweetheart! Trying to look for a new home as she's been a foster with us for the past month and a half to 2 months. We acquired her from my boyfriend's friend who became homeless. She is one of two cats we acquired from him and looking to rehome her, because my original younger cat is bullying her. She is not doing well at our home and is in dire need of a safe and loving space. She is very adventurous even at her age and loves the outdoors. She is even trained on leash! She will cuddle you and lay on your feet in bed with you.
