Story
We got Jack eight years ago when he was a kitten. He was sweet, affectionate, and very playful as a kitten. These days, he’s much more calm and subdued, but he loves chilling in a warm lap and getting lots of pets. Jack was raised in an environment without children, and unfortunately does not seem to love the attention our toddler gives him. He gets stressed out by too much noise, and he doesn’t love change. We are having another child and he is not adjusting well to changes in the new nursery and household in general. Jack would thrive in a home without children and other pets where he can be king. When it’s just him, Jack is a delightful roommate who loves to snuggle and hang out. Jack is on a prescription diet of Hill’s Science C/D wet and dry food.

Story
Boots is the sweetest, most loving cat I’ve ever had. She is roughly 12-13 years old, I inherited her from my grandpa in 2015, before he passed he had her declawed so she doesn’t have any claws at all. She’s very affectionate, she loves to sleep right next to you and if she sees your hand for any reason, she becomes very intent on being petted. She lives in a house currently with 2 dogs and another cat, we think the dogs stress her out a little so we have her on prescription food for stress/urinary care. Ideally we are looking for a home without other pets because of her stress levels but dogs would be alright, she really does not like other cats though.

Story
Tora is an 11 year old male cat with fiv i got him and his brother from the same litter from a friend when they were kittens. Lately the 2 have been fighting so it's time to separate them. He is a little chunky his vet has him on a wet food diet twice a day, he does still have his claws, he is great with kids my 10 month old can beat on him and he will lay there and take it until he trys to grab his ear or tail then he runs away. Very friendly loves his belly rubbed and is a big time food begger. I would love for him to find a new loving home and not be locked up the remainder of his life.

Story
Molly is a 10 year old male (YES Male!) cat and so very snuggly! I got Molly as a brand new kitten from a Craigslist ad. He has been with me and his sister cat his whole life. He is a big people lover and wants lots of attention! He is a total Tom cat and can get frisky, but mostly just wants a lap to lay on. He would be fine in a home with older children who understand giving him space, but he is not great with babies and toddlers. We have recently added a toddler and a baby to our family. We cannot give him the time and attention he deserves and he is spending to much time in our basement. Please consider giving him a home!

Story
Ace Boogie aka boo is a very sweet cat. I was supposed to be housing her temporarily and that was about 3 years ago. I wasn't planning on having another cat after my last one died. I have a dog so she's good with them. She is good with my son, but he's 2 & a bit obsessed with her, she seems to hide away a bit more now, I think older kids would be best for her. She gets the zoomies late at night but doesn't destroy the house. Just runs real fast a bit. When I first got her she hissed alot, never bit or attacked, simply attitude. Onceshe warms up she cuddles and loves being pet. I would love to find a home with the time and attention for her, im not able to care for her properly. I will provide whatever supplies I have for her. That's why the rehome fee, her stomach does well with the food she's on, but quite a few irritated her poor belly. Other than that shes indoor but likes to step outside ever once in a while, only if she can get back in quick. You would love her
