Mincho is a sweet cat, he is house trained. Is great with kids. He loves to be petted. I just unfortunately can’t keep him any longer because we have no time for him. We feel like he deserves someone who has more time for him.

Story
Hello Her name is Nique (named after my owners first high school boyfriend who recently passed away) she was born June 24th 2022. Nique is lovable and wants to be caressed by her demands with kisses to her head 🥰 and then she likes to be independents and relax. I have to surrender her because my daughter has a 7 month old and we have three cats and a dog which is now becoming a little overwhelming 😔 I don't want to take her to the shelter because they’ll euthanize her 😩 and she doesn’t deserve that. Nique has lived with my teacup Pomeranian since she was born so she’s cool with him. I would red your dog to be cool 😎 with her. Please help me re home her to a loving family. 😻😽

Story
Sol is the sweetest boy, I love him deeply, but he needs a home where he can have access to the outside. Sol loves to cuddle and play with a string. He has a calming purr and is a very gentle boy. He does not scratch or bite. He is a peaceful boy and avoids conflict with my other cat. Sol does not like loud sounds, and will hide if there are babies or unknown people that make sound. For the first three years of his life, since I adopted him as a small kitten, he had access to the woods. He is not a fighting or aggressive cat, so he never got into any trouble or brought hunted animals back home. A month ago we moved into an apartment and he is having a really tough time. He cries all day and night to be let out. He has started peeing on my sofa. This was never an issue when he could go outside. It breaks my heart to do this, but he needs a better home. It is really tough for me to watch him cry so much. All I want is for him to be happy.

I want the best for Che Che, He's a very playful very calm kitten who loves toys and fresh blankets, he's so adorable, he came to my door cold. So I took him in until he found a beautiful home. Please find him a great home before next week. I was driving to the shelter went inside and immediately turned back, ONLY SERIOUS PARENTS PLEASE. He needs love and a home where he feels safe so please keep him warm, safe, and nourished. He loves to cuddle and watch TV, and loves cartoons, and soft toys.

Story
We adopted Rocket at 4 months of age from a local shelter. They told us he was found outside alone and that instantly broke our hearts. Rocket is a super energetic cat and needs a lot of affection. Unfortunately, our schedules have become very busy and we no longer have the time to give him the affection and attention he needs. In addition, Rocket likes to scratch, EVERYTHING. My little kids are afraid of him since he playfully scratches at them. He has a habit of jumping onto our counter as well which is another challenge we have not been able to solve. He truly is a lovable cat and just needs a home where he can be the center of attention!
