Story
This is Gruff, he is a sweetheart that comes out when its quiet. I rescued his mother off the street in DC, unbeknownst to me she was pregnant! She gave birth to one sweet little kitten and was promptly spayed after. Gruff is that kitten. Gruff is highly food motivated and loves to cuddle with fleece materials (especially when i sprinkle some catnip.) Gruff prefers to hide when my nieces and nephews come to visit, but has been very sweet with my infant. Bathtime is difficult, he does not like it and will bite and scratch me. He is bonded to my other male cat, Frankie who is also up for rehoming, i will only consider homes that can take both. Frankie is a social sweetie, he loves when i have maintenance workers come over, friends or anyone! He likes to go outside in the sun but is too scared to go too far. He likes to roll around in dirt so i cant sweep, i have to vacuum. He likes to chase toys rather than jump for them. Gruff likes to jump for toys and loves the laser pointer.

Story
I got Simba from a friend. She begged me to take him. So I did. I have health issues and unable to take care of him right anymore. He's an indoor, outdoor cat. Loves his treats, of course. I have many things that will go with him. A carrier An 11 lb. Bag of Food Treats Scratching post A few toys 5 months of flea & tick medication. I would like it if the person is loving and willing to train him to stay inside. He comes in to sleep and eat. I just can't do it. Any more. He is a talker. He will let you know if he's hungry for sure. I give him a little coconut oil for a treat in the morning most days. And always a lickable treat every day. I also have a new box of that to send with him. He is sweet but very independent of course.

Story
We started of seeing Mom and kitten, then all of sudden this little guys was on his own. We didn't think it would survive on its own so we brought him in & and clean him up. He was scared at first but cuddled up to us in no time, with the help of food. He now likes to use an IPad with my daughter. He knows to use the litter box. And is slowly accepting our dog. He is super playful and loves to cuddle.

Little SloeBerry is a beautiful and sweet 4 1/2 yr old kitty. She lost her home and her person after a house fire and is looking for her special emotional support human. She loves to cuddle and play and enjoys sunspots and windows to watch the birds. She is a bit shy to warm up to people and to get picked up, but once she does warm up to you she is sweetly demanding and a lap or lap adjacent kitty. She adjusts well to regular routines.

Story
Tiny Bean & Little Socks are bonded siblings. Tiny Bean is the sweetest girl and a little purr machine who loves to be in the middle of things while Little Socks is still a cautious boy who likes to take his time and observe. Both kittens were born outside in a litter of three and have adjusted rather well to living in a home. They are about 4,5 months old and have excellent litter box manners. Tiny Bean and Little Socks are both fixed, microchipped, dewormed, treated for fleas and vaccinated. They are currently indoor-only and love food, toys and pets, just like any other cat. Looking for a quiet home with patient humans who will understand their situation and that it might take some time for them to build trust with their forever person. Please reach out if you are interested in adopting them and would like to know more.
