Story
Hi, Momo is an energetic younger male cat who loves attention and is great with children and other pets. Our problem regarding Momo is having an elderly cat and he constantly want to interact and play with her. She is not receptive and has caused her stress and we are looking out for her needs as she is 17 years old and comes first. We received this cat from a close friend thinking they would get a long, but they do not. Momo is a great cat, he just needs a lot of stimulation at his young age. Momo grew up without his mother, so he has some behavioral issues. We are looking for a loving and understanding home, with the right owner he can be an amazing cat for many years to come. We have two nephews who are age 5 and 7, they love Momo and he has never bitten or scratched them and they are high energy young boys.

**SPECIAL NEEDS** Franz is a super sweet guy who gets along well with other cats. Franz does have a heart condition that requires daily meds, but he takes them easily and would love to have a foster or adoptive home with someone who is understanding of his medical needs. He would be a great companion in a quiet home!

Story
Scoot is a very good cat but I cannot keep her anymore. She needs someone who can take care of her, and that is not me. She's a 4 year old (in March) spayed female Calico. Great with other pets and children. She MAY have fleas. I've given flea baths and she's come up clean but I've also seen them on her. I'm trying to get rid of the infestation but for several reasons I am unable to at this time. Because of the fleas she has overgroomed and has skin irritation. It is not severe but still needs treatment. Also due to the stress she had issues using her litter box. She is litter trained and only a year ago did she start going outside of her box which leads me to believe it is stress-related due to her fleas/irritation. I cannot financially support taking her to the vet. I am very sad and ashamed I cannot care for her. She deserves a loving home.

Story
Banjo was found in a grocery store parking lot near the dumpsters in our local town. We quickly got our TNR set up and brought him home. After 8 months of resocialization, Banjo is now one of our most loving cats. He gets along great with our guardian dogs and is often seen cuddling up to them. He deserves a safe, loving, and cuddly life with the right family!
