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
Meet Hobbes, the snuggle chunk. This heavy boy spends a good deal of time snoozing and grooming. However, his favorite place is by the side of his person. He is a snuggly lap cat. He's very excited when you come home and will greet you at the door. He has been around both dogs and cats, but would likely prefer a home where he is the only cat. He gets jelly when others get his attention, but has done well around other male and senior cats. Hobbes also has experience around children, but a home with older children who are more experienced with respecting boundaries would be best. Hobbes likes the idea of being outside, but is strictly an indoor cat so being aware of him near doors is a must. He enjoys being in a screened porch, and will usually wait for the invitation before cautiously venturing out. This guy wouldn't make it outside full time! Hobbes would make a wonderful addition to any home willing to give him lots of love and snuggles! Apply for a meet and greet today.

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##

Story
Mike is a very loving cat who loves attention and cuddles. He loves to play and he will play fetch with hair ties and other items. I rescued him back in February of this year from the humane society and due to my circumstances I can no longer keep him. He's calm and loves to sleep most of the time but when it's time to play He's energetic.
