Story
Callie is roughly 1.5 years old. I found her roughly 6 months ago and she was pregnant. I decided to keep her on my property to ensure she was fed and safe. She had the kittens and they were rehomed. I now need a home for Callie. She is everything a person could want. She is very chill and adapts to any situation. She lets you hold her, grab her and handle her however you want. She meows rarely. She loves being inside but can go outside and will return home whenever she wants to. SHE LOVES FOOD. She could endlessly eat. She doesn't play with toys much but may if you work with her on it. She doesn't scratch at furniture or anything.

Story
Salami is a very silly 4 year old cat, my old roommate's neighbor's outdoor cat gave birth to a litter that they couldn't keep so I took him in. I want more than anything to keep him but after having to move out from an abusive relationship, I can't keep him where I live now. He is such a loving boy once he warms up to you - he has lived with some scary people before and moving is stressful for him, so he needs some time to adjust to any new place, but if you give him a chance you will see he is so smart and loving, just a big baby that wants all your affection (and your food). I am looking for someone that is willing to be patient with him and give him so much love. He gets overstimulated a bit easily but if you know how to understand cat body language he will clearly tell you when he has had enough playtime. I hope someone is able to give him the stability and safety he deserves.

Story
Meet this adorable girl, Jazz - a true New Orleans native! She is ready for her furever home. She is a lovely tuxedo tabby, with a bright white bib and paws, soft silky medium length fur and a long-haired plume tail. Having spent the first three months of her life outside with her four siblings and feral mom, she is now learning how to be a pampered house cat! Jazz is a bit shy, but calm and sweet. She enjoys chasing balls and fishing rod type toys and sitting in the window watching the world go by. She is comfortable with other young cats and probably older cats as well. Jazz enjoys being petted and having her head scratched while purring. With some patience and TLC she will come out of her shell and be a sweet, loving kitty.

Story
Niko is a sweet boy! He doesn't like to be held, but he does like showing affection by sitting next to or near you. I believe he can be very social with other cats (he gets along well with our female cat), but it takes sometime for him to get used humans. He was adopted 3 years ago this coming June, so he's still a baby/young with lots of energy. He loves to play fetch with his toy mouse and he loves his treats! Niko is a very healthy cat with environmental allergies. Niko is strictly an indoor cat and is afraid of outdoors. He also gets very anxious during car rides.

Story
I adopted Pumpkin Spice from the Humane Society for Greater Savannah in 2021 when he was about 2 years old. He has been with me as I have moved from Savannah back to New Orleans. Pumpkin Spice is very affectionate. He is the first to greet visitors at the door and enjoys cuddling in laps. He really loves stuffed toys that he can bunny kick. Unfortunately, he also has some behavioral challenges that make it difficult for him to stay in my home. He experiences anxiety, which sometimes manifests as biting and scratching. He also occasionally urinates outside the litter box. Furthermore, he has become more territorial regarding the other male cat in my home. I think Pumpkin Spice would benefit from a space where he is the only cat. He would do really well with any outdoor time. An experienced cat owner who knows how to handle behavior issues and can be patient with him would be ideal. Pumpkin Spice loves attention and would be a great cat for someone who wants a cuddle buddy.
