Unforunately, due to some financial strains. I am having to move. With this being said, the person I will be living with is extremely allergic to cats and has had medical complications in the past due to this allergy. Q and Cass are beautiful kitties that love kids, gets along with all types of dogs, and are fun playful bunch! I really need to find a new home for them as I have had no luck with friends and family!

Story
Meet Roland, a shy and timid young male cat with a gentle heart. Roland was surrendered to the shelter after his owner could no longer afford to care for him, and though he’s been through a lot, he’s remained sweet and calm. He’s done well with other cats in the past, but he’s a little reserved and takes his time warming up to new people and environments. Roland tends to be on the more cautious side, preferring quiet spaces where he can feel safe and observe the world around him. With patience and a gentle touch, Roland will slowly open up and show his affectionate side. He’s looking for a calm, understanding home where he can settle in and feel secure.

Story
Hello, I hope you find Pip as wonderful as we have. He’s been a big part of our family since 2023 and sadly we now have to rehome him. We recently found out our oldest daughter (5) is allergic to cats and has asthma. We’ve tried to keep him and work with her like the pulmonologist said we could but each day is progressively getting worse for her asthma and scratching. We don’t think it would be so bad but with the season changes he sheds a little more than normal and it’s causing her a lot of health issues. We love him so much. Hoping to find him a good home with someone who can love him as much as we have. Pips original name was Perch but he didn’t really respond to that so we named him Pip. He’s great with our 3 kids and other cats too. We had another that we’ve found a home for recently as well. Very hard time for our family as the kids nor us want this but we’ve gotta make sure our kids come first especially with their health. Thank you again for any help. He will love you forever.

Story
Tiger is a very loving cuddly cat if you are laying or chillin he won’t leave your side, he’s about a year old and loves to play. he’s very energetic and knows his name very well. he uses the litter box and haven’t had any other issues. he loves treats almost too much he will find a way to get to them. he hates being tapped/shut in a room so looking for a home where he has plenty of space to roam and do his thing and gets lots of attention.
