Story
Ace Boogie aka boo is a very sweet cat. She minds her own business about 50% of the time then like to cuddle the other. My son will not be gentle with her and she obviously doesn't like it. I would like to find her a good home who can love her like she deserves. She is fine with dogs. Does well with my son but we just can't get him to leave her alone and she's been having behavior issues since it started. Older kids would be fine for her. Please help me find her a forever home. I was only supposed to be a temporary home for her and that was 3 years ago, you would love her just like I do.

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
Mama Mo is a sweet cat- she has lived a tough life outdoors after her owners moved away. She was a good mama to her kittens (all adopted and loving their new homes)! She is learning to trust people again- and can sometimes be a little spicy if you pet her past her allotted timespan (which only she is privy to).  She had a brief stint at Whisker Station, but that wasn't her jam- she was not at all aggressive with the other cats but prefers a quieter more laid back vibe. So now she is back with us in her favorite chair! She deserves the absolute best- a family (without young kids) that really understands and appreciates cat behavior as she does have a few quirks! I think she would be fine with non-aggressive dogs or cats. She is pretty much ignores the other animals in our home- a dog and 3 other cats.  Mo loves to be brushed and pet, but does not enjoy if you put your face close to her. She will let you know about it! Reach out if you would like more information on Mo! It is definitely worthwhile gaining her trust- she is a special kitty and deserves a special family of her own!November 5, 2024, 10:31 am

Story
Shorthaired older man who needs a person to love. Buster is looking for someone he can take care of and show his appreciation. Buster is an active boy for his age and loves to play. He get's along with other kitties if they are not overly aggressive and calm dogs. Buster has thyroid issues and is on meds twice daily. If he was an only kitty, a diet in very low sodium could possibly help eliminate this.November 5, 2024, 10:31 am
