Story
Chunky is a sweetheart the reason we can’t keep him is because his father and mother (cats) take every chance they can to hurt him and he has no freedom is our home because of this we don’t want to keep him in a room all the time because honestly that’s torture so I want to give him to a loving family because he is a very sweet cat and doesn’t deserve what he goes through it breaks my heart to let him go but I know I can’t keep letting him live like this

Story
Bo is 7yrs and 4 months old as of Sept 2024. I adopted him in the fall of 2021 when I lived in NYC. He and I moved to MA in 2023. A typical day for Bo starts with breakfast and some playing around. He loves chasing whatever is at the end of a wand/string combo. After 10-15 minutes of playing he gets a lil sleepy and takes a nap for a few hours. Dinner at 5pm and he wants to play some more. He’s very affectionate and will come to perfect strangers if called calmly. He can be a bit nervous, startled by loud noises. He gets vocal if his human is home but separated by a closed door where he can’t reach you to play or cuddle. He loves to cuddle or lay near/on people. He could use a human who’s experienced with cats who get a little nervous and skilled at curbing scratching tendencies. A quiet home with a loving and experienced owner will give both of you years of love and cuddles.

Story
Simba was given to me in 2019, a friend of mines had a cat that give birth. Simba is a very loving cat towards his owner. Loves to get pet every morning (mainly in his stomach) if you have a mice issue he would be happy with it, when I first bought this house in 2019 the last owners mentioned they had a mice problem, since getting simba I have not seen one till this day. Simba is very shy at first but when he trust you he would always want you to pet him.

Looking for an adorable supervisor for your home? Look no further! I am a curious, silly, and brave kitty who loves to know what's happening. When I'm not in your business, I love to play with my toys (carboard boxes are my favorite) and cuddle with my loving humans! I also grew up with my brother, Biscoff -- so I know and love to play with kitties too! I am ready for that perfect home that wants an adorable little girl to make them smile. I am in Tennessee, but can be transported to the Northeast region to meet you if needed.

Story
Due to the overpopulation, Honeybelle is being fostered in South Florida. We are ready with transport to bring him to his forever family. Named after the rarest orange in nature, female orange tabby cats are rather rare (only 1 out of every 5). Our sweet Honeybell is very affectionate, tolerant of the other pets in her current foster home. But, longs for a permanent family of her own. She is a healthy, spayed female, current on all vaccinations and microchipped. She is also FelvFiv negative. To ensure the right fit for both Pet and family, all of our adoptions are ’foster-to-adopt’. This means that, whatever the reason, we will always accept the pet back to our care, in one of our homes (not a cage at a boarding facility or shelter) if the adopter(s) has a change of heart or circumstance. This is one of the many benefits of opting to adopt from a local Rescue organization over a store purchase or shelter Adoption. East Coast Pet Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, where all donations are tax-deductible. Receipts available upon request. 305-916-EAST(3278) info@eastcoastpetrescue.org;

Story
Meet Zero, our 2 y/o grey short-haired cat with bright green eyes! Sadly, our buildings new owners won’t allow pets without insane fees. We’re looking to find this snuggly, silly guy a new home where he can live a long, happy life. He loves his humans- once you win him over, he’ll be glued to your side. He’s super snuggly with his people. Zero can be a bit unfriendly towards strangers, and would do best in a home that doesn’t have strangers in and out constantly. We don’t think that should mean he needs to end up in a shelter. He adores his bestie—a playful dog— & would do well in a house with a pup! LOVES to perch high up, keeping an eye on his house and family. He’s a well-mannered guy who doesn’t scratch up the furniture, we’ve taught him to use his post. He’s in great health, up-to-date on all vaccines, and has never had any health issues. He will come to you with his food bowl, toys, a tunnel, and his scratching post (if you want), & plenty of wet & dry food!
