Story
Sassafras Swirl arrived at my door a little over a year ago. He was emaciated and wasn’t going to make it. I started feeding him, fell in love with him, and brought him inside. He was clearly a former housecat. I have 3 other cats and I have tried every suggestion out there to integrate them. I started keeping them fully separate in December when Sassafras had his second episode of FLUTD (feline lower urinary tract disease) due to stress. During that second episode, he had a PU (perineal urethrostomy) surgery. That, along with a prescription diet to ensure he won’t develop any more urinary crystals and keeping him separate from the other 3, seems to have resolved his issues. I love this little guy so much and I want to keep him forever but keeping him separated is doing him a disservice. I really think in a home of his own, with no other pets or kids\grandkids, he would really blossom.

Story
Boots is an incredibly loving, high-energy boy. This spirited guy was living on the streets of Baltimore for his first few months of life before I rescued him. From the outset, he was the sweetest - and most playful - cat I've met. In the over two years I've had him, he's never hissed at me, and only ever "attacked" when he's bored and I'm not playing with him enough. He's spent a lot of time with a couple golden retrievers, who are his best friends, so he typically can be good with dogs (or get accustomed to them). Boots has a lot of energy and loves being around people; he should go to a home with someone who can play with him and keep him entertained.

Story
Her name is Tia and she has a sister named Tamera (like the tv show sister sister). She loves cuddles and crossing between your legs and playing with your feet. She is a sweet heart and unfortunately I can’t keep; so I’m asking if anyone has love to spare for her. She loves playing tag with other cats and love to fall asleep under you or your lap.

Story
Bleu loves to purr -- while sitting in your lap, dancing upside down, sitting on your belly, and eating. He's a lovable, unique 5-fingered cat with a long body and stubby legs. He's in love with food and will easily fall in love with you too. Bleu, loves things his way, which is to be fed on time, open doors, and lots of cuddles. He can't wait to be your new best friend!

Story
Meet Panda and Bear, two sweet and affectionate 4-year-old brothers who are looking for a loving new home. Named for their panda-like colors, these bonded cats have been inseparable since their adoption from an animal rescue. Panda is friendly, playful, and loves to snuggle, while Bear is equally affectionate, calm, and enjoys curling up for cozy naps. Together, they bring double the love and companionship to any household. Both are carefree and enjoy both indoor and outdoor spaces, making them the perfect addition to a home where they can explore and relax together. We are heartbroken to rehome Panda and Bear due to relocating, but keeping these two brothers together is our top priority. If you’re looking for a pair of loyal and loving companions, Panda and Bear are ready to bring joy and warmth to your life.
