Story
Albanese is a 5-month-old gray short-haired kitten with more energy than your morning coffee and enough charm to get away with anything. She packs endless joy into her tiny frame, enjoys cuddles, and melts for gentle ear rubs. This sweet girl is socialized with other cats and is easy to hold. Her friendly nature makes her a wonderful fit for almost any family. Albanese has nerve damage in her front right leg due to an accident, but she refuses to let it slow her down. She climbs, runs, and plays like she’s auditioning for Kitten Cirque du Soleil. Which makes her a happy, healthy tripod cat. Looking for a fearless, funny, determined little kitten who will entertain you and snuggle with you? Albanese is ready to bring the chaos and the cuddles.🩶🐾 Located in Jacksonville, Florida, but willing to travel and meet within 2 hours of Jacksonville. Will also provide favorite cat toys. Albanese's brother is also available if you wish to inquire about adopting the pair.

Story
We got her as a rescue from a post on Nextdoor, her previous owner had moved into a smaller apartment and the other cats were bullying her, she was hiding under their kitchen cabinets all day. She is about 3 years old, actually very sweet and playful, but also has high anxiety, has been living in our house (no other cats) for nine months and is still skittish, will scurry away when we walk toward or by her, hesitant to eat if we are in the kitchen where her bowl is, etc. We think she may do better with a female owner, we are two single males and wonder if she needs someone with more time to bring her around. The lady we got her from said she was the only person she'd let pick her up, and we haven't been granted that privilege so far. Just hoping for a better situation for her.

I fostered Phantom due to his family having a new baby and moving where they could not keep him. He is young, playful, energetic, seeks attention and scratches. He likes to cuddle. He is young and still learning his manners. He did have a dog friend, I have not seen him interact with dogs. He does have a cat friend, Ghost. They are not a bonded pair. He is an inside cat and has not explored outdoors. I travel often for my job and am not able to keep him long term. Happy to answer any questions.

Story
Vader is a 2.5-year-old indoor cat with one owner since kittenhood. He’s playful and active—especially at night—and loves his scratch tower and toys. He’s very gentle, does not bite or shows aggression, and will quietly hide if scared. Vader can be shy and anxious in new environments and around loud noises, but once settled, he’s affectionate and can be quite clingy with his person. He’s litter trained, doesn’t climb on counters, enjoys a wide variety of food, and is very low maintenance. Best Home Fit: A calm, quiet home with a patient adopter who understands shy cats. Ideal for someone who wants a gentle companion and can give him time to adjust and feel secure.

Unfortunately I have to rehome my cat. She has some health issues that I am unable to afford and have a baby so I cannot take care of her like she needs it. I am happy to go into more detail for anyone who is interested. She is an amazingly sweet girl that take a little bit to open up to other cats but loves to play! Comes with carrier!

Story
Echo was adopted from a local animal shelter as a kitten and in May this year he will be about 2 years old. We fell in love with him because he loves being around people and other animals. He has a playful personality and likes to explore until he cuddles up and falls asleep.He has been around my dog and other dogs and enjoyed playing with them. He likes to follow you around and be picked up. He will usually start purring as soon as you pick him up. He eats twice a day and his favorite treat is a little bit of shredded cheese when we have it. He enjoys going out onto our screened in patio. We actually crate trained him as a kitten with our medium sized dog and he was very comfortable with it. So now he goes in the crate at night and when we are out of the house. It’s big and has his litter box, food, water, his fav blankets & toys. Having to rehome due to asthma related issues that have developed. Looking to rehome him where he will receive love and attention. He is very special!
