Story
Newt was found in back of a restaurant. He is a good boy that has a desire to be loved. He was never taught to use a litter box, but I am sure he would if shown how. He is small for his age. He is almost 2 yrs old. He does not eat people food except chicken sometimes (he has to be in the mood).

Story
My younger sister Lindsey Pruitt has 4 kittens and 1 adult cat that she is trying to give them away to good homes. The Momma cat is estimated to be around 2 years old. The kittens are currently 10 weeks old and there are 2 boys and 2 girls. They are all very friendly and can be handled and are litter box trained. They do require their shots none of them are fixed. My sister is asking for $20 a cat but is willing to negotiate. Eva was found on the streets in Belleville a few months ago and pregnant.

Story
Hello there! Found this sweet little boy wondering around the house and decided to keep him nice and warm since the winter is coming up. However due to financial and servers allergies I cannot keep him long term sadly. He has been checked for a microchip and no one’s claimed him so I really want to find him his perfect forever home! He is an absolute sweetheart whose favorite activity is bird watching and giving cuddles! He does very very well on his own. I have had no issues at all with biting, scratching, or chewing what so ever. However he does have a sneezing problem that likely requires vet assistance (which sadly I cannot afford at this moment). Especially after eating/drinking/grooming. He does eat, drink, pee, poo with no issues in litter box and does fantastic as an indoor kitty. He also loves to be brushed and petted at the same time. He’s the sweetest little boy and he deserves to be loved and cared for ❤️
