Story
Hi! Gift is a 5-year-old boy. I adopted him in January 2024 when he was a 5-month kitten. We have lived together for 5 years, and he is a very friendly and lovely cat. He has been living well with other cats and dogs of my roommates for over one year. Due to a recent change in my health, I've developed an allergy to cats. It's a difficult decision, but I want to ensure Gift continues to live a happy and comfortable life in a loving home. If you feel that you could be the perfect match for Gift, please reach out! I'd be happy to tell you more about him and arrange a meeting.

Story
Echo was born to a stray mother in the garage of my mom's home. She is three years old (will be four in January), and is very docile, sweet, and affectionate. She needs very gentle and tender care. When she is approached, she needs to be approached very carefully because she gets scared of people easily. She loves cuddling and petting!

Story
Around 7 months ago, my roommate found Cosmo outside wandering around the apartment complex. He followed her to our door and she ended up taking him in since he looked hungry and she felt bad for him. We took him to the vet to make sure he didn’t have anything wrong with him and all was well. Nothing was wrong and I offered to keep him since I’ve been wanting another cat. Long story short after trying to introduce them to each other, I quickly found out that they absolutely hate each other and will try to fight on sight. I’ve been patient with them and figured if I took my time and did all the right things you’re supposed to do when introducing cats to each other that they’d hopefully tolerate each other. If anything they hate each other more now than ever before, and I recently found out my job is relocating me. I cannot take both cats because of how they are. Cosmo is a very sweet cat otherwise. He just hates my cat. My roommate has cats too and he’s fine with them.

Story
Turnip was a small baby. The runt of his litter, really. He was so blessed that he found his way into his foster families life. They took great care of him and he has flourished! He is growing up in foster care, though. He is almost a year old ... someone needs to give this guy a chance! He is a playful boy! So smart and such a sweetheart!   Update:  Turnip has become picky with his litter.  He has started having accidents and not using the little box 100% of the time.  Sometimes will poop outside the litter box.  We are working with him to determine what may be causing this. ##1089206##
