Story
Geralt (of Rivia) was a failed foster during COVID. We took him in when the shelters were put on lockdown, and fell in love. He is incredibly friendly, and wants nothing more than to lay in your lap and snuggle. He can be quite chatty, but usually because he wants food or love. Super patient with our two very young children and gets along well with our dog. He is FIV+, which means he cannot be around other cats unless they are also FIV+. For this reason, we do not know if he gets along with other cats, but was previously a stray with the scars to prove it so I think he would be very defensive. The primary risk for an FIV+ cat is a condition called stomatosis (inflammation of the gums), but he is safe from this concern as he has had all of his teeth extracted. No meds needed. He can eat kibble still, and we can provide an automatic feeder so that he can have little meals throughout the day. He is litterbox trained. We are rehoming only because we are moving and cannot take him with us.

Story
We love our cats very much but unfortunately my wife and daughter have gotten allergic over time. We had them since they were kittens and they are 4 years old now. They are very much bonded and it is an absolute must that they stay together. Looking for a loving family home. We have a lot of kids and a baby and the cats are great with them. They are very gentle and friendly. The white and brown one is a bit shy of new people when he first sees them. This is a very heartbreaking decision for us but the allergies keep getting worse. My wife is having trouble breathing and my daughter is starting to get an asthmatic cough so we have no other choice. We would greatly appreciate if you sent us pictures of them and stayed connected to us. Requirements: 1) A loving family - they are used to our large family. 2) Absolutely no declawing. 3) The cats stay together.

Story
Meet Keanu – A Sweet, Independent Soul in Need of a New Home Keanu has been a part of our family since she was just 4 weeks old. She’s always been a cat who values her independence and prefers affection on her terms. While she has a sweet side, Keanu can be stand-offish, and she isn’t one to appreciate attention when she’s not in the mood. If she’s bothered, she may scratch or bite, making her best suited for a home without young children. With a 22-month-old and a newborn in the house, we’ve grown increasingly concerned about our toddler unintentionally disturbing her and getting scratched or swiped at. Keanu deserves a peaceful home where her boundaries are respected, and she can share her affection on her own schedule. If you’re looking for a companion who’s a little sassy and a lot independent, Keanu may be the perfect fit for you.

Citrus is about a year old, he's very talkative and affectionate. He loves to sleep in boxes and in small spaces. He also likes to be tucked in with blankets. He's a very sweet kitty and I'd love for him to have a good home and someone to cuddle with.
