Story
Umbra is a 3 year old tabby. He grew up with another cat named Twilight whom is also listed on my profile. Umbra loves hugs and cuddles and being pushed on the carpet by his back feet. He is very playful and sweet. I am being forced to rehome him due to relationship issues and housing insecurity. I am devastated. I need him to go to a good home where someone will love him as much as I do.

Story
Hi there , I would love to re home my 3 year old cat. Cliche to say its not her its me. I need her to have a home she has space in to explore. She spent 3 years with me and my new roommate brought a dog who chases her back into my room. This is no way for a cat to live. There are personal reasons for myself my mental state is not the best and I know she deserves a happy home which I cannot provide at the moment. Being honest with myself I would love for her to spend her days in a happy home with space. She is a very independent smart cat, very gentle and will be okay with kids as long as they are gentle with her, if not she will run away under the bed.

Adopted 3 years ago as a kitten. Found to be aggressive around our kids and therefore we cannot keep her. She would make a good companion to any family with older kids or adults. She does fine with our other cats and dogs.

Story
Ace was born Feb. 1st 2024 making him 10 months old. He’s also up to date on everything as well. He truly is a great cat I am really sad I am no longer able to care for him due to personal issues. He’s still young making him full of energy. He can be shy at first but after some time he is the most loving cat. He loves to be pet and sleep right on your chest. I have another cat as well and they do great together, it took about a month for them to adjust but now they are best friends. I also have a 4 year old and he’s great with him as well. He would make a great addition to a loving home with someone always around to give him the attention he needs. I would be willing to provide a bag of food that he normally eats if you’re looking to transition him onto a different brand and his favorite toys. If possible i’d love to get pictures of him every once in a while as well!

Story
Captain (Cappy) is a lovable black kitty. She is in an apartment and I have two roommates and she does not like all the coming and going and is acting out and peeing. She is a real love and I adopted her when she was a baby. She would probably do best in a home that is quiet with not a lot of change or activity going on. PLEASE adopt her she needs a good home ASAP- will give you the entire set up, litter box, toys , litter , carrier case

Story
Sushi (gray & white) and Mango (black) are a bonded pair and both a year and a half old. They were found under a truck in florida and i adopted them at 3 months old. Sushi is the biggest cuddle bug has no stranger danger. He is sweet as can be and is always sleeping on or next to you. He loves to play and would flourish in a big home with lots of sunlight. Mango is my shy boy. He takes a while to warm up to you but when he does, he will shower you with kisses. He is as sweet as can be and could not hurt a fly. He gets the zoomies a lot and loves to play and is my adventurous boy. He just takes time to trust you, but the wait it worth it. Mango and Sushi need to stay together and currently live in a one bedroom apartment, i think they would love a home to have more space to run around in but are just fine where they are now. I think they would do great in either a home with one person or a family. They just want and need a lot of love wherever they go
