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
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
Kelley and Briggs are three and a half year old well-bonded siblings. The boy (Kelley) is grey striped and white with slightly longer hair, and the girl (Briggs) is calico with very short hair. They are spayed and neutered and up to date on their shots. He is very very good with kids, allowing my young daughter to carry him around. Briggs is also affectionate with adults but skittish of kids. They have been indoor/outdoor and indoor only. They prefer being allowed to go outside, but they do like to explore and hunt if allowed to do so. They will come with their carriers, litter boxes, toys, and wall mounted climbing things if you want them. We just want them to be happy. We have to rehome due to allergy issues if we keep them inside and they can’t go outside where we live. They have been really great cats and will miss them a ton. We will only consider homes that take them together. We don’t know how they are with other cats or animals.

Story
I got Miso from a friend 6 years ago who was moving to Zambia and couldn't take her with him. Miso is absolutely wonderful and is the cutest, most delightful cat. She is gorgeous and the apple of everyone's eye, and she doesn't knock things over. She is good with kids, good with dogs, but doesn't seem to get along with other cats (she is scared of them). Miso was perfect for the first three years, even though I seemed to only date women who were allergic to cats, but in the past 3 years she has taken a turn for the difficult: she occasionally eliminates outside the litterbox. At first it was infrequent, but then it became more frequent, and she has a particular preference for my bed. After meeting with a cat behavioral therapist and the vet, we have determined that she's simply too stressed for a second-story one-bedroom apartment — she needs a bigger house or maybe even an outdoor space where she can be more entertained.

Story
Found this kitten at my job in garage. Dewormed her and she was a normal kitten again. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat and she gets along with them all. I would love to keep her, but I already have a farm going on in my home hahaha. She’s a great kitten, super friendly! I keep her indoors but she does enjoy sitting in the window. She also loves to play with toys! She’s a beautiful kitten that needs a forever home!
