Story
I adopted my cat from PetSmart, and they are currently one and a half years old. My cat is incredibly affectionate and loves spending time with people, making them a wonderful companion. They are in perfect health with no known issues and are very easy to care for. I am looking for a quiet and clean home for them, ideally with someone who can provide them with love and attention. They are comfortable living with other cats, so a multi-cat household would work well too. If you’re looking for a loving and sweet-natured cat, this could be the perfect match for you!

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.

Story
Adventure Kitty showed up on our front porch a few months ago. She’s not just a “neighborhood outdoor cat”. She acts as if she used to be an indoor cat but was dumped. Every time we come home she is very excited to see us. She clearly loves people. We already have three cats so we can’t take her in. So we have been feeding her and giving her a warm and protected place to sleep outside. She is really sweet, playful, and always approaches anyone who is outside in our yard. She gets along with other cats in our neighborhood and is probably not even a year old. We live near a busy street and would really like to have her in a safe and stable home.
