Story
Here are some adjectives to describe Ash. He is cuddly and affectionate. He is also very curious, adventurous and playful. He’s brave yet gentle. He gets along with our older cat very well. If you’re looking for a cat to cuddle up with you while you watch tv or read a book Ash is for you. Unlike a lot of cats, Ash loves to snuggle and interact! He’s there to get all and any guests and welcomes kids as well. He has been diagnosed with Feline lower urinary tract disorder. He’s on the Hills c/d diet and has been loving it. He has been seen regularly and his vet visits are up to date, can provide records. With everyone’s busy work/school/baby schedules we are not able to keep up with giving him the love he deserves. With the arrival of our baby it’s just been very difficult to balance. He is so cuddly and lovable. We all love Ash and it breaks our hearts but we think it is best if he is rehomed to a place he will be loved.

Story
Hi there! My name is Bear, I am probably one of the most “dog” cats you’ve ever met. I love all people, am super energetic and curious as hell. I’m not afraid of anything and will keep you company day and night. Unfortunately, my current pawrents have another cat and dog. When they adopted me, the thought I would be a good fit. The behaviors of the puppy and cat do not mesh well with my brave and bold nature, and I do not get the attention I need. Thats why I would need to be adopted into a home with either a trained dog, an accepting cat that will hold its ground, or ideally one without any other pets. I am a little over a year old, have the cutest white marks on my belly and love laying on you and taking a nap! I also am extremely food motivated!
