Story
Jasper is a 4-5 yo male. Chipped & neutered. He is an absolute lover boy! He previously lived on a farm (as the only cat) and moved with me to a house that already had two established adult outdoor cats. We have found out that he needs to be a "one and only" cat. He is territorial and does not tolerate other cats in his space. He has been indoor & indoor/outdoor before and is litter trained. He will go to the door first and cry to be let outside, but will use a litter box. He is happy inside and outside. He is a lap cat and LOVES to kiss and cuddle. He will sleep with you through the night if inside. It absolutely breaks my heart to let him go, but he needs to be in a home where 100% of the love and attention is his and only his.

Story
Kaia is 1 year and a half old. Like many cats she is a sour patch kid. She is very sweet but can get easily overstimulated so give affection on her cues. She loves napping near you and sleeping in the bed with you at night. She hasn't been a lap cat yet but i got pregnant very shortly after getting her so i believe she can be with time. We love Kaia so much but she needs lots of attention and play which with a new baby i have not been able to give her. I don't want to part with her but feel she deserves someone who can give her the time and care she deserves.

Story
Lizetti is an active, playful 4yr old kitty who talks to you, greets you at the door when you come home & chirps (brrrp) a lot. She loves being with her human guardian & wants to have a playmate! She makes a great companion to her human as a single spoiled kitty or in a home with a playful cat closer to her age. My older cat is not playful with Lizetti, and has the opposite personality, calm, rather quiet. I adopted Lizetti from a foster 3 almost 4 years ago after my older cat’s brother passed away unexpectedly from a blood clot as a companion for my older cat but they never bonded. I adopted the 2 siblings when they were about 6 weeks old in 2017. Lizetti is a great cat, doesn’t bite or scratch, uses the litter box perfectly, & has a vibrant, funny personality. I want a good home for her where she can play & be happy.

Story
Approx: 9 years old Full vet workup: up to date on vaccines, neutered and ready for a fur-ever home Super smart and solves cat puzzles for treats. He is great on a schedule, he knows when it's time to be up and time for bed. He naps or perches near a window most of the day. Loves food so he knows his feeding times. Loves: * Being pet (he drools a bit) * Snacks * Curling up in a sunny spot or in screened patio. Buddy is a stray I found hurt. Sat down next to him, pet him and he melted onto me! He seems like he had a home at some point. He is curious about other cats, cautious but friendly with people. He will come with automatic feeder, food, some ttoys and blanket. He needs a high litter box.

PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING!   Meet Misty! Hi, I’m Misty! If there’s one thing you should know about me… I am the ULTIMATE snuggle buddy. I love curling up right next to my person, purring softly, and just being your calm little shadow. Whether you’re working from home, relaxing on the couch, or winding down at night, I’ll be there to keep you company. I’ve been told I’m sweet, gentle, and very loyal. I get along fine with kids, especially the older ones who know how to respect my space. I can be a little shy at first, but once I feel safe, I’ll happily soak up all the love you have to give. I promise I’ll make you feel special every single day. A few things about me: -I’m potty trained and very tidy. -I never say no to a yummy meal. -I enjoy quiet naps and laid-back evenings. -I’d prefer a home without dogs. All I really want is a calm, loving home where I can snuggle, nap, and be your loyal best friend. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate girl who will stick by your side, I think we’d be purr-fect together. Love, Misty Adoption FEE: $100 which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines.

Story
Gray is a very sweet four year old male cat. He is affectionate, smart, playful, and very friendly. He is well behaved and loves to socialize with his people! He still has a lot of kitten in him and loves to play, but will also curl up on your lap, make biscuits and take a nap. Gray was brought to us after being removed from the only home he has ever known, due to his previous owner’s infant son’s allergies. We have been fostering him in hopes of finding his perfect furever family. This is the best cat, who deserves the best family! We do not know if Gray is good with dogs, but having fostered him for several weeks with other cats, it’s important that he be in a home where there are no other cats. Gray will come with a complete litter box system, food, toys, treats, and cat litter. We also have his vet records, as provided by his former family, and will include those. We are asking a $100 pet rehoming fee with all proceeds going to our local non-profit cat shelter.
