Story
Her original owner had a heart attack that she needed a new home. I have been taking care of her since February, 2024. She is sweet and wants to play. She likes to cuddle. Her purring sound is healing ❤️‍🩹 However, my demanding schedule I cannot take good care of her which she deserves. I’d be happy to share her food, etc if you need. She is such a sweetheart but she deserves a better home. Hoping to find someone who would like to cuddle with her and her heart ♥️

Story
Boo is a sweet indoor outdoor kitty! She likes to sleep on your lap but doesn't love being held. She has been an indoor/outdoor cat for the last few years but has been litter boxed in the past. She has had shots but they're no longer up to date (if this your only issue please let me know and I can work on that with you). She has gotten along very well with two dogs in the past, but she is uncomfortable around my two male cats. She has tuxedo patterning but she keeps the jacket buttoned (white patches are small). She can be pretty talkative when she wants pets! I'll be moving out of state soon and I'm really hoping to avoid placing her in a shelter

Story
my partner and i adopted him last year around november from oakland ca he’s overall a sweetie always wants to hang out around you. he sleeps a lot and will hide in between clothes or furniture to be left alone to sleep lol. will get along with other cats but he’s VERY picky, loves to play fight with them. he’s never been around dogs so i wouldn’t go for that if you do have dogs. he WILL meow when hungry very vocal boy :) he loves toys and loves treats. when he gets comfortable enough he will ask for chin scratches by headbutting you. ( for girlies hide your fake eyelashes because he will attack hehe)

Story
Kyra and her brother were saved from a harsh life under a deck in sweltering 109-degree heat. While Kyra eagerly approached us, her brother Mavis was too timid and scared to emerge. With the homeowners' consent, we carefully unscrewed the deck to ensure Mavis's safe rescue. Kyra is an adventurous and affectionate cat who thrives on interaction, while Mavis, though shy, blossoms in her presence. We believe that adopting them together would provide the best environment for both, as Mavis gains confidence with Kyra by his side. Don't miss the chance to welcome this charming pair into your home.

Story
This is Athena, she is apart of a bonded pair with her best friend Apollo. I have to rehome them because i leave for the military in February and have no family to take them. I originally got these babies at 4 months old they are around 9-10 months old. I would prefer they go to a home that can give attention to them. Athena is sweet, cuddly, and loves belly rubs. She does well with gentle kids. They have never bitt or scratched. Athena likes to be nap and be on her cat tree. She likes face and belly scratchies. She also likes to lay with you. Rehoming them includes their clothes, cat tree, water dispenser, food container, and food dish, litter box if you need it. If you like me you have to want my best friend as well!
