Story

Swizzle is a sweet and cuddly cat. He loves cuddles and playing with toys. He might take some time to get adjusted but once he does he tends to choose one person and stick with them loyally. Swizzle is playful and vocal, often times able to play by himself by throwing his toys high in the air, but loves to play with his owner as well. He is 4 years old, and we saved him from going to the pound from a mutual friend. In the time since however, we have moved apartments and he is no longer allowed at our new apartment. We are sad to see him go, but we have to rehome him as soon as possible so as not to be in violation of our lease. Hopefully there is someone else who can keep him in a loving home so he doesn't have to go back to a shelter.

Not good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi, this is Millie. Millie is a diluted calico cat who is approximately 3 years old. She needs an experienced person to handle her. She can be spicy, but also a love bug. I have to rehome her, as for some reason she gets aggressive with my sister and got aggressive with me one time. She can be incredibly sweet, but she needs to go to a good home with someone who can meet her needs, love her, and appreciate her. I'm not sure how well she gets along with other cats or dogs, as I don't have any other animals. She has her rabies shots and FRVCP vaccine; she is also spayed. Her shots are recent, as we got them in August 2025. She will lie and cuddle with you and loves to play a lot. She still has that kitten energy!

Story

😢 Why are we rehoming? This was truly our last resort, we love him so much, but my husbands severe allergies and asthma have made it impossible for us to keep him. 💛About Him: His name is Chicken, hes 2 years old, playful, and incredibly well-behaved. Obedient, smart, and affectionate. Neutered, chipped, vaxxed. Hes friendly with people right away and great with other cats. Hes energetic and loves to play, but also loves to curl up in your lap or nap right beside you. 🏡 Ideal Home: Were looking for someone with experience who genuinely loves cats and will give him plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. A home with another friendly cat (even a kitten) is a big plus - he thrives with companionship. Most importantly, we want him in a safe, stable home where he will be cared for, not ignored or mistreated. The $100 fee helps us ensure this. Hes the sweetest, most gentle boy and we are heartbroken to be losing him. Please message us if you think you are a good fit. 🩵

Story

Bombadil is a 2.5 year old tabby who has had a rocky year. His mom passed last December and has not been able to make friends with 3 of our other 4 cats (2 of which are his litter-mates). He is a very shy boy who responds best to people with a quiet, calm demeanor. He likes to take affection at his own pace. Once he trusts you, he is a great bathroom companion in the mornings, makes standing biscuits when he's extra happy, and loves to burrow under blankets. He doesn't always have a lot to say but is very loud about it when he does. Bombadil would do best in a quiet household, either as a single pet or with one other mild-tempered cat.

Story

Calliope (the torti) and her whole litter showed up in my mom's front yard as a kitten, we got all of them fixed and she was the one we kept as she refused to be taken in anything but the finest of pet carriers. About 8 months later Clio (the calico) shows up in my yard. They're both very sweet girls who love to play and cuddle. Calliope is aloof and regal like queen while Clio is friendly and sweet like a princess. They're basically inseparable at this point. They're desensitized to touch but don't like to be held. I've also taught them some basic commands and made sure to curtail bad habits before they became a problem. If you choose to take them in, I'm willing to part with all of their toys and stuff, free of charge. 😊

Story

Looking to re-home my cat. His name is Harold.he is about 6 years old. He is super sweet, not an aggressive bone in his body. We are welcoming another baby soon and can't accommodate his needs anymore. He is fully vaccinated, neutered, and healthy. We also had his teeth cleaned less than a year ago. We can provide all medical documents needed. He needs a home that can provide him lots of attention and love. He is good with other cats but doesn't prefer children and hides from strangers. His favorite place is on a comfy bed or roaming outside for short amounts of time. His favorite toys are springs and the ones at the end of sticks that you fly around. A smaller apartment or constant access to outside is best for him as he prefers to pee outside. If he doesn't have a very clean litter box or outside access he will pee on soft surfaces. But he doesn't do it in smaller apartments. If he does go outside, he comes back when his name is called.
