Story
I adopted Theo from a friend while I was living in Texas. Theo is about 2 years old and is an energetic boy and he loves to cuddle with you! He’s super playful and gets the zoomies all the time, but he can also wind down with you and take naps. He’s very friendly with people and he was raised in a house with two dogs. However when I moved back from texas, i moved in with my parents who have two cats and then I have my two cats. And Theo wanted to play with the others but they didn’t like it. I honestly think ideally he would a be a one house hold pet. He social but can take playing too far which is why I think having just him would be good.

Story
Toby is a playful, loving cat. He loves to play with new toys, sun bathe, and get a little rowdy when it comes to new toys. He’s a certified napper and enjoys looking out any windows in the house. Due to lifestyle and work, Toby needs to be rehomed with someone that will be attentive to him. Aside from that, he’s very independent and works fairly well with any environmental changes.

Story
Sage is so sweet and cuddly. She is very much so an independent lady, she loves her alone time but she will hop on the couch and sit right next to you if you'd allow. She is patient with our curious toddlers, we have an 8, 1, and 2 year old. She's easy going and loved belly rubs. She understands when we sing "Treeaaaatsss" she will come running happily. She is fed in a schedule in the morning and at night. She is also crate trained she likes to go into her crate. We have a crate, automatic food dispenser, and a litter robot that can all be sold to the new owner at a fraction of the price. She's lovely and we will miss her but we cannot keep her at our residence. -With love!

Story
Kiri is a 5 years old female cat. She is shy, and quiet. She loves to be pet and sit by you everytime she gets a change. Gets along with everyone, even strangers. Gets along with cats and parrots. The reason I need to rehome her is because, we welcome a new baby to our family and he is allergic to the protein in some animals. Sadly we cannot keep her anymore. She is an amazing cat. I hope to find her a home she can be loved and care for as she deserves.

Story
Finny is an 8 year old spayed female short hair. Born in our barn, we took her in at 9 weeks old and she has been my daughter’s indoor cat ever since. My daughter is moving out for grad school, and Finny does not get along with our other cats or dog, and cannot move with her. She has lived in our basement apartment with my daughter, and chooses not to interact with our other pets. She would do best in a home without other pets and small children. She is a sweet, independent, house cat who will enjoy a cozy window and quiet evenings on the couch. She will come with litter box, cat tree, and bed if needed.

Story
I started feeding the feral cat this fall and gave her a small shelter for the winter. She became docile and friendly and eventually accepted coming in the house and has been comfortable being handled petted and held. She is still slightly feral. My landlord has informed me that under no circumstances may I keep the pet. Indoors or outdoors and have been directed to get rid of it ASAP. I simply want to find her a home. I need help as quickly as possible. Pictures will be taken at my next opportunity and added it to the profile. I have a few treats and some cat toys I will give with the cat.

Story
Let me start by saying we love Klaus so dearly. He’s our baby. However, he has been having some behavioral issues lately that we cannot seem to fix. We live in a neighborhood with a lot of stray cats. Those stray cats come and spray around our house. Klaus, though neutered, feels the need to mark his territory… by spraying as well. We have tried to do what we can to fix this issue, but nothing is working. We fully believe he wouldn’t do it, if it weren’t for all the strays. He never did this before the strays showed up. He is a 10 year old sweet boy. He had surgery at 2 to remove his femoral head on his right leg, so he walks with a slight limp. He has two little partially white toes, and has “thumbs”. He is incredibly loving. Loves to cuddle. However, he does not like dogs or kids very much. I think he’d do well in a home with no other pets. We, unfortunately for sweet Klaus, have another cat AND a dog. This is such a hard decision to make. But he’s not happy here anymore.
