Quarter Pounder may be deaf, but that doesn't slow him down one bit! This fearless little adventurer is always ready to play and explore every corner of his world. He loves engaging in playful antics with his littermates and, if they're up for it, even older cats! Friendly and curious, Quarter Pounder enjoys being petted but has a serious preference for playtime. You’ll often find him carrying around toy mice or batting balls across the room—he’s always on the move and looking for his next game.

Prior to adoption, all kittens are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped.

Story

Olive was adopted from a shelter in Chicago, where I used to live. She was an adult already. She has been taken to the vet and is very healthy, she is THE MOST loving cat, she loves affection, she loves to be held, she is such a sweet girl. However she isn’t fully house trained, specifically she urinates on things she’s not supposed to, like clothes left on the floor, cloth mats, and in the bathtub. She goes number 2 in her litter box. I’m looking for someone who has somewhere they can facilitate the urinating issue and give her the love and affection she deserves and needs.

Story

Cleo (a white and patterned American Shorthair) and Smookie (a gray tabby American Medium Hair) are 1 year and a half old (both borned in early April 2023), and have been inseparable since they were kittens, so they need to be adopted together. Both are spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, INDOOR ONLY, and 100% healthy. The adoption fee is for serious adopter, and their essentials, includes 2 litter boxes, a pet carrier, an automatic water dispenser, automatic feeder, cat tree, various toys and more. These two are the sweetest, gentlest cats I ve ever met. They have never shown aggression towards people, even during activities they are not fond of, like baths or nail trimming. They adore being around humans, always snuggling close whenever I am working or watching TV. Cleo loves to curl up on my lap, while Smookie sleeps right next to me. I am only rehoming them due to a severe cat allergy in my household. Looking for a loving, committed new home where they will be cherished!

Story

These are my two cats Athena(tortoise shell) and Ares (tuxedo). They are both lovely and have their own personalities that make them shine. They are very kind and they love attention. I adopted them from a rescue home at 6 months old in 2022 and they have been with me since. They are brother and sister. I would like to find them a forever home where they can be loved and appreciated the way they deserve. They have been together since birth and often cuddle, so I’m worried separating them would cause them a lot of stress but I’m not sure. They are twins, so the following information applies to both of them. Breed: American Shorthair Age: 2-3 Vaccinated: Yes Spayed/Neutered: Yes Litterbox trained: Yes Chipped: Ares chip is registered, but Athena’s isn’t since I lost the paperwork in a move before I could Good with dogs?: Possibly, they’ve only experienced not very well trained hyper dogs Good with other people?: Yes. They will shy at first but they warm up.

Story

Duoduo, a sweet female cat, is a bit shy at first and takes time to get acquainted with new people. However, once she feels comfortable, she becomes a loyal and gentle companion. HouGe is the sibling of Duoduo. Together, HouGe and Duoduo make a perfect pair, always keeping each other entertained with their playful bond. Adopting them together would ensure they continue to thrive in a loving home. Duoduo, a sweet and gentle female, was rescued from a situation where she wasn’t receiving proper care. Though she is shy at first and takes time to get acquainted with new people, once she feels safe, she blossoms into a loyal and affectionate friend. HouGe and Duoduo would do well in a home with children of any age, as long as they understand how to interact gently with cats. They are friendly toward other cats and would likely enjoy the company of another feline, though it's not a requirement. Since they keep each other entertained, they don’t need much extra attention or playtime from their owners, making them a low-maintenance but loving pair for the right family. Duoduo is currently living in San Jose, CA 95134 Please note: Duoduo should be adopted with a littermateMore information & application [ts=1732226572&src=aap]

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.

Does not do well with other cats (Main reason for re homing) He loves neck scratches, and will try to eat just about anything so be careful. Very vocal, and brave once he knows you :)

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.

I think my pet is about 6 months not sure even more. He was a stray which explains why I’m not sure about his age. What I’m looking for in a home for him is a loving home who will love and care for him as your own child. He is not a bad cat he is a great cat to be around with. He will follow you around everywhere you go. He loves to knead on the blankets at night or when he is tired
