Story
Chloe is a sweet but sassy cat. She is very curious and wants to always be involved in whatever you are doing. Chloe loves wand toys and playing fetch. She does need 20-30 minutes of interactive play with you each day, spread out over 5-10 minute increments throughout the day. Chloe is food motivated and easy to teach commands to. She knows sit, look, stand, and spot. She will do look and sit without treats. She likes most treats but loves squeezable treat tubes. She is used to a leash and harness. I took her in after she was abandoned by her owner in August. She was understandably scared and traumatized by it. He had also taught her that hands and feet were toys. I have worked very hard to teach her they are not but she occasionally forgets. Her ideal home would be one without small children due to that. She would need someone who is patient, and consistent with her. Chloe needs a home where she is the only cat. She WILL try to attack other cats. I can't keep her for this reason

Story
Tommy is the kind of cat who doesn’t just sit next to you , he wants to be ON you. Sit down and there’s a good chance you’ll suddenly have a warm orange fur ball curled in your lap.He is an incredibly affectionate, people-oriented orange boy who loves cozy naps, blankets, couches, and cuddles. Once Tommy trusts you, he becomes extremely loving, loyal, and cuddly.Tommy adjusted naturally to indoor life and is comfortable lounging indoors, using a litter box, and sleeping near his people. Tommy recently transitioned from indoor/outdoor life into a busy multi-cat home. While he bonded strongly with the humans, the resident cats reacted territorially and Tommy became overwhelmed by the conflict.Tommy would likely do best as an only cat or with very slow cat introductions.
