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

I believe Marmalade may have been abandoned but he is cute, super friendly and he is definitely used to being around people and other animals. He just got his shots and was neutered. They estimated his age to be 2 yrs old. I would keep him but I already have a dog and a cat in my small condo.

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.

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.
