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!

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.

Story
Rehoming Two Very Affectionate Cats I am faced with the difficult decision of finding a new home for my two sweetheart cats. They are two years old and from the same litter. Healthy, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccines. Due to financial circumstances, I am moving in with my family, where there is a dog that is aggressive towards cats. To ensure their safety and well-being, I am seeking a kind, safe, and loving home where they can continue to thrive together. Please see the attached photos. If you are interested in providing a forever home for Moose and Bao, or if you know of someone who might be, please reach out to me at the email provided. Your kindness and assistance in spreading the word are greatly appreciated. Gratefully, Isabel

Story
Age: 4 Story: Frank was rescued off of the street a few months ago. A family was feeding him and he tried to get into their house several times, so they believed that he may make a good house cat. Unfortunately, Frank has not taken well to the indoor cat lifestyle, despite lots of time, calming supplements, playtime, and enrichment. He is very aggressive with me and my roommates, scratching and biting (occasionally hissing, yowling, and growling), to the point where I am worried about me and my roommates’ safety. However, I firmly believe that he will be perfectly happy in an indoor/outdoor living situation or as a working cat (warehouse cat, barn cat, etc.) He can be (and likely will be even more, once he has space to roam) affectionate. Characteristics: - Food motivated - Intelligent - Playful - Mighty Hunter - Good litter box manners He has no physical health issues (up-to-date vaccines, microchipped, neutered), but has the behavioral problems noted above.
