Story
Cloud loooooooooooves attention and pets. He also loves butt spanks and pats. Anytime he sees a hand, he just wants to be petted. He is a very affectionate cat but also very vocal and chatty. He enjoys laser toys, watching birds, squirrels, and laying on designated areas in the home. As you can see he is a very chonky cat. Unfortunately, his mother was diagnosed with early Alzheimers so she tends to over feed at times. I believe that he needs a loving home that is able to give him the attention and care that he deserves. I can't find any of his paper work at his home but he is fixed. He is playful with other cats and sociable. Eats Friskies wet food seafood and chicken variety and Purina cat chow for indoor cats. Just want him to have a loving home. Preferably with those that are experienced with owning cats. Reactivating his account.

Story
Gigi is a sweet girl who is about 12 years old. She is affection but doesn’t like being picked up or held. We have 2 other cats and she does not get along with the female which has been a problem. She has a scratch on her right eye but the vet checked it. Nothing is wrong and she can see out of it. She loves head scratches and rubbing against you. She doesn’t like her back rub. Children make her nervous but she has tolerated my 5 yo granddaughter for the most part. Gigi has been kept as an indoor cat we have not had issues with her trying to get out though she might enjoy it. I’d love to her be welcomed in a quiet home where she would enjoy being your affectionate companion who will hang out in the same room as you. We are hoping to rehome her because there is a person with allergies and they have worsened over the years even though we have limited the cats access to her. Also, I work 7 days a week now and it is hard to take care of all 3 cats when I am rarely home anymore

Story
Gussy came to us as a kitten about 4 or 5 months old. We already had 2 grown females. Everyone made progress getting along until Gussy moved away to college (his boy moved and went along). When they returned, Gussy was bigger than the girls, and they will not accept him, constantly hissing and swatting. This is not Gussy's fault, he wants to play with the girls and gets along beautifully with a neighbor's cat. He deserves a place where he can roam the house and be accepted and have someone to play with, people, dogs, cats, he will play with anyone. He is a wonderful "Velcro" cat hanging out with the people and dogs in our house. He does very well on leash, loves going out for walks on his halter or rides in his backpack, loves children, snuggling, steals food like a dog, and runs to greet all visitors for scratches. I am hoping to find a home with people or animals that he can follow around and love.

Story
Meet Baylor - Your New Best Friend! Baylor is a 1-year-old male cat looking for his forever home. He may be a little shy at first, but once you start petting him, he’ll warm up to you quickly and show you his gentle, loving nature. Baylor is a true couch potato who loves lounging around and soaking up all the attention you’re willing to give him. He’s mellow, snuggly, and enjoys a calm, cozy atmosphere. Baylor gets along well with other cats, dogs, and children, making him an excellent addition to a family with other pets. He’s just looking for a safe space to relax, snuggle, and enjoy the simple things in life. If you’re looking for a laid-back companion to cuddle with, Baylor would be the perfect fit for you! He is currently in Tennessee, but can be transported Northeast to meet you.  If interested, please contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.December 2, 2024, 1:01 pm
