Story
Mini is a great cat who is very friendly with people, loves the attention. She unfortunately is not a big fan of dogs and now that the kids are a little older, she is not getting the love and attention she deserves since she prefers the basement away from the dogs. She would love to be with people that like cats and have time to be with her more than she gets today.

Story
Sherman was born in August, 2021 and came to live with us as soon as he could. It is not easy to surrender him to another family, but he is not happy here with one of our older cats that causes him great stress. Due to that, he will sometimes pee outside of the litter box. He is potty trained and uses the box most of the time, but our vet thinks that he gets anxious around Olive. She taunts him every day and makes him a nervous wreck. We would surrender Olive, but we've had her a lot longer, and our daughter is more attached to her. Sherman loves to cuddle and sleep in our bed, and turns on his little purring motor instantly. We love him dearly, so we really hope someone loving, perhaps with no other cats, will adopt him.
