These two are definitely a dynamic duo cuddly during the day and super playful at night. While they did take time to warm up, when they did your heart warms right with them :) (bonded pair)

Story
Rain is a male cat that is very loving and sweet. He is 5 years old. He is very much loved and must go to someone who will love him and no other cats in the house. I have 4 male cats total. Back in September 2024 Rain started to urinate outside of his litter box. I took him to the vet where he was diagnosed with an urinary tract infection and started on antibiotics. But he continued. Went back to vet and was told to rearrange litter boxes and move them throughout the levels. Also was started on some anxiety medication. But that did not work. The veterinarian then did further workup and discovered he had stones in his bladder. We started him on special diet and more medication and surgery to remove the stones. But within one week Rain started to urinate back in the old spots he went to before. I have locked him into a separate room away from the other cats and he will urinate fine in his litter box with no issues. I am asking for a caring person who can Rehome Rain by himself.

Story
Sydney is a senior cat. She needs extra care and love that we currently cannot give her. She has not adjusted well to our second addition to our family. We have tried to medicate her to ease her anxiety but it has not worked. She would thrive in a house with minimal people and no kids. We got her 10 years ago. And she lived 6 years in peace with two adults. Adding another cat and 2 kids in the mix has given her immense stress. We want to provide her a life that we cannot give her.

These pups are in Dekalb, Illinois too!

Story
Hi there, I’m Maisy! I’m a curious and friendly kitty who loves meeting new people, and I’ll always be the first to say hello when visitors come by! I know my name, and I’ll come running when I hear it. I’m fully litterbox trained and ready to settle into a new home where I can do all the things I love. I do love to eat – I’m always up for a tasty meal – and I’m known for sneaking into places where I’m not supposed to be. It’s just too tempting! One of my favorite things is my cat tree, where I love to relax and watch the world go by. I also have a natural hunting instinct and enjoy playing with toys that let me stalk and pounce! Because I can be a little independent, I’m best suited for a home without young kids. I love attention on my terms, and I’ll be a great companion if you’re looking for a fun and playful kitty who’ll keep you entertained! Come meet me – I can’t wait to show you just how much love and fun I have to offer!

Hi, I’m Stella! I can be a little shy at first, especially with new people and visitors. I tend to hide when things feel unfamiliar, but once I warm up to you, I promise I’m a sweet and loving companion. I prefer a peaceful, quiet environment and would be happiest in a home without other cats or dogs. I’m not the biggest fan of sharing my space with other pets, but I do love the company of kind, patient humans who respect my boundaries. If you’re looking for a calm and gentle cat who will take her time to trust you, I could be the one for you. With a little patience, I’ll be your loyal and affectionate friend.

Story
Hi, I’m Ziggy! This is my best buddy, James. We’re a pretty sweet pair, and we stick together like glue. Therefore, we are looking for loving home that wants to take us both in! We love cuddling up under blankets and just chilling out with each other. We’re not huge fans of young kids or too much excitement, so we’d rather hang in a quiet spot where it’s nice and calm. I’ll admit, we’re a little shy around new people at first, but give us some time, and we’ll be your best friends! We really love catnip, though—once we get a whiff, we’re all over it! When it comes to other animals, we need slow introductions. We can be a bit selective and prefer taking things at our own pace, so a calm, patient approach works best for us. But as long as we feel safe and comfy, we’ll be your loyal, loving companions. If you’re patient and give us some space to warm up, we’ll show you all the love and cuddles we’ve got!
