Story
Shadow is a special cat with a story full of heart. Almost six years ago, she was given to me as a gift after being found on the streets. The person who rescued her couldn't keep her due to allergies, and we were lucky enough to welcome her into our lives. Since then, Shadow has been a loyal companion, and she’s truly become a cherished part of my family's world. Shadow is almost 6 years old now, and over the years, she’s shown herself to be a curious and mysterious little soul. She loves to explore her surroundings, always observing with quiet grace and keen eyes. Her quiet demeanor makes her a wonderful, low-maintenance companion for anyone who enjoys a peaceful, loving pet. She is often found perched in her favorite spot, keeping watch like a little guardian of her space. Now, after six wonderful years together, I’m looking for a loving and safe home where Shadow can continue to thrive. She deserves to be in a place where she feels secure and cherished—better than I can provide

Our beloved grandmother is passing away in hospice and her sweet kitty is in need of a home. We are up here in Pittsburgh visiting her in hospice, but with the end near, we want to do the right thing for grandma's beautiful baby. We would love to honor Grandma's wishes and make sure her baby is in good hands. Please, if anyone can help, it would be so wonderful!

Story
Ruby is a big sensitive lady. She spent her first year of life (2020) in COVID isolation with a previous owner and is unfortunately poorly socialized and therefore very shy and anxious. I’ve spent 3 years attempting to help her come out of her shell but she just needs a quieter home than I can provide. She should go to a home where she can be an only pet or share space with other cats who will respect her space. NO children under 13, as she has a history of hissing, swiping at, and chasing children.

Nala was adopted from a shelter as a kitten and she has been with me and my family for about 13 years along with another cat. Unfortunately, due to allergies by house members (one fairly severe), we are having to rehome our dear girl (our boy cat found a loving home). Please help us find a good and loving home for Nala!

Story
Hello, I'm Princess! To learn more about me or schedule time to meet me, text my foster mom at 954-654-3606 I was a street cat, ruling over my own colony when a rescue volunteer caught me, and helped me get spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and ear tipped! They planned to take me back to my colony until they saw that I seemed to really enjoy the VIC (Very Important Cat) treatment-- then they found me a foster mom! (No worries though- they were able to get all of my street pals sterilized as well!) My foster mom says that I am a timid girl at first, but once I warm up to you I will demand chin scritches as is my right as Princess of the castle! She also says that when I am confused and trying to puzzle something out (like her vaccum), I make "endearing noises reminiscent of a turkey," whatever that means! So if you are looking for a new Princess to rule over your castle, reach out to my foster mom! She would be happy to arrange an introduction for us.

Story
We picked her up from a parking lot where a family member works because we did not want her to get killed since her two siblings, unfortunately, were killed by cars. She is currently living with my mom but my mom has a cat which has not been able to accept her, we have tried everything but he does not want other cat in the house. She is a little bit nervous and anxious, probably from everything she has gone through, but with patience and love, she becomes the sweetest cat. She comes up to us, she let us pet her and pick her up with no issues. I believe she would get along with other cats that are not as territorial as my mom’s. I am not sure how she would be with kids and dogs, but I believe she would be good as long as the others in the house are gentle.

I've had both Thomas and Jack for 9 years. I'm in the middle of relocating to Virginia Beach, VA and I cannot bring them with. This truly breaks my heart. I am more than willing to pay for litter, food for the first 3 months as well as supply a cat bed and litterbox. My hope is that they are adopted together and not separated.
