Got this cat from my mother in law who can't care for him. my husband is highly allergic and we have a dog that bubbles doesn't like. He's been in a room by himself. Will be going to shelter end of January if I can't find a home. Would break my heart because he is so so so loving!!! He loves to be petted nonstop lol

Story
Meet Tasha! This little cutie pie came to us as a stray, wandering around the big world all by herself. It didn't take long for her to fit right in, and Tasha enjoys playing with cats of all sizes. She very much enjoys her alone time and keeps herself quite occupied with toys and watching bird and fish videos on YouTube. She loves to talk to her foster mom, scurries right over to her when she enters the room, and rubs against her ankles verbally requesting some loving! DOB: 10/1/21

Story
socks is a very sweet cat. She is between five and six years old. I’ve had her several years. But now I have a daughter and granddaughter where my daughter has lost her job and they have to move in with me. And they are both very allergic to cats. Socks is sweet and lazy. She will sleep at the edge of your bed and she will sit at the edge of your chair. She does weigh 17 pounds and she is a big eater. she loves scratches and being brushed. She likes to have someone at home most of the time she doesn’t like to be left alone at home for days at a time. She comes with a CAT scan and a scratching post and a litter box and some food.

Story
2 year old, mixed breed tabby. Acquired from TB humane society in July 2022. I simply do not have the space for such an active cat, vet says he would greatly benefit from another cat to play with. Incredibly playful, active cat. Very athletic and curious. Needs a large space preferably with other active cats. Some behavioral issues, unprovoked foot/leg attacks. Medical history - Feline HIV negative Noticed blood in his stool, after $2200 in tests turns out he has IBS. On a special food trial now and haven’t noticed any blood but it was sporadic before - unsure on current acceptance of food.

Story
Pickle came to us as a stray and quickly moved into our hearts and home. Pickle hasn't met a toy she didn't like. She loves pets and tickles and absolute loves her belly rubbed, but she doesn't like being kicked up. She doesn't jump on furniture, either. We have two adult tortoiseshell cats, Thelma and Louise, but Pickle is so easy going and super friendly I didn't think it would be an issue and they would get used to each other. It's been 10 months and they still don't get along. It's been very stressful for the girls, they are afraid of Pickle. We discovered Pickle is deaf, so when she gets hissed and growled at and she doesn't react, the girls get scared. Pickle has taken to going after them as well. I think she wants to play but they don't understand that. Pickle is FIV positive, but we haven't noticed any issues with that yet, other than dental. She's had dental extractions and her teeth cleaned.
