Story
Urgent rehoming! This is Layla. She is very sweet. She loves to cuddle 💘. Also loves every single human she's ever met! She was originally adopted from petsmart so she has all her vaccinations! She would prefer to be in a 1 cat household. I am currently fostering her and I had no idea she wouldn't react well to my other cats. She is afraid of my other 7 rescue cats. This caused fights, so I have her separated now. She deserves to be in a loving forever home but our local shelter is completely full, so I wanted to get the word out on here. There will be a small rehoming fee just to be safe. Thanks!

Story
Roux is a 9 year old black cat who loves to snuggle and watch birds through the window. She would be best suited as an only animal, with no children. She is loving and affectionate the majority of the time, and very food motivated. She has gotten aggressive in the past when startled, and would thrive in a quiet household. She likes to play, but mostly enjoys lounging around.

Story
Z was adopted as an young adult male. He was neutered and house broken. He has developed behavioral problem with our older cat and marking territory in our apartment. He actively "hunts" inside and would make a great outdoor cat. He is very friendly and loves to be petted and scratched. We do not have access to a safe outdoor area for him. He would be a great farm or barn Tom cat.

Story
We adopted Boogie from a shelter 10 years ago. He was just a small kitten. However, he's been so used to the outside, that it's impossible to keep him inside. He's a good boy and very loving, once he's settled. He's not aggressive at all, but getting him inside a kennel is daunting. This has caused him to become very wary of them. We're looking for someone very experienced and patient. He's very affectionate with our current pets, which he's been around for most of his life.

Story
Jasper is a handsome, funny, talkative boy, who is ready for his furever home! He is playful and has the most hilarious vocalizations - especially at mealtime. Having spent the first three months of his life outside with his four siblings and feral mom, he is now learning how to be a pampered house cat. Jasper is calm and sweet, yet also energetic and curious. He enjoys chasing balls and fishing rod type toys. He is comfortable with other young cats and probably older cats as well. Jasper likes being petted and having her head scratched and purrs loudly. He has great potential as an affectionate lap cat for a patient, gentle pet parent who gives him the time and love to adjust to his new home. Could that be you?

Story
Scotch is the most loving affectionate cat. He's 2. He was outside before the holidays last year and he began to allow me to pet him. One of the other ferals we take care of used to chase him away from the food and hurt him. I had to feed him in the tall grass. He would call to me so I would bring him a plate. He wound up sleeping in the cat house on the front porch. It was to be 8 degrees with the wind chill factor so i brought him inside and scheduled a neuter and microchip. He immediately starts purring when you walk towards him. He flops on his back and asks for rubbins. However, I believe because he was beat up so much when outside that when he came in he has tried to be alpha over the other 2 cats. One of the cats has only 3 legs and they got into a very bad fight. The three legged cat is my husband's and we have had him for almost 11 years. So, Scotch is locked in the office with food, water and litter because apparently he cannot be around other cats. Scotch loves to play.
