Story
Alistair is a friendly indoor-outdoor cat who is very popular in my neighborhood. He has loads of personality, including a few quirky traits, e.g. sometimes he pees in the human toilet to avoid going out in the snow! Alistair is really a swell little guy. We love him a lot. The reason we are re re-homing him is that he has developed a strong rivalry with another cat in the neighborhood, resulting in frequent trips to the vet by the other cat. Alistair was feral when he was younger (before joining our household), and attempts to convert him to an entirely indoor lifestyle have so far failed. Reluctantly, I am searching for a new home for Alistair in order to protect the other cat.

Story
Hi, I am fireball. I am 3.5 months old. I was recently adopted by my cat parents from humane society. I am very energetic, curious as I should be with my age.I am litter box trained.I love to play hide and seek with my hoomans. I am getting used to wear a harness and I hope I will be traveling around the world soon. I love to sleep on my hoomans lap and purr. I would love being around them and follow them. My bedtime is at 8pm but I love to have an extra time of playing with my hoomans.I want to go in a home which does not have very young kids as I am still learning to be gentle and I will assure you lots of purrs and cuddles.

Story
Bubbles has been with me for 4 years. I adopted him in late 2019 shortly before the pandemic began and he has been a wonderful companion. Bubbles can take a while to warm up to a person, but he is a warm, cuddly and loving boy. He gets along well with others cats, but dislikes dogs. He is a bit older, but still healthy and loves to relax and cuddle. He is also quite clever and like to hide in cabinets! His only health issue is allergic dermatitis, mainly to fleas. I am a chronic pain sufferer and have been trying to get on my own two feet, so to speak. But unfortunately, I can no longer afford to keep him due to my condition and must rehome him.

Story
Penny wandered into our yard one day following the smell of our grill. She was dirty, covered in bugs and extremely emaciated. She had an old flea collar on, so we assumed she belonged to someone. We fed her. She kept coming back. We live where there are coyotes and got concerned about her being left outside. I treated the bugs and eventually let her into our basement. I took her to the vet. We paid for her shots and for her to be fixed, totaling over $200. We would love to be able to keep her. She is so friendly and has never scratched anyone once! We have two other cats who have been very territorial ever since we brought her in the basement. She is great with young children. She gets along with dogs of all sizes. our cats don’t particularly like her, but she is not bothered by them. We want to find a forever home for her.

Story
Ms. B is a great kitty as long as it fits her agenda. Her favorite place to hang out is the bathroom to watch running water. I am in the process of moving so Ms. B is needing a new home with intoxicating running water. I put a $30 adoption fee on Cheescake hoping that only very interested individuals would adopt her. With that said, her adoption fee could be zeroed out for a loving and caring individual.

I got him out of impulsive decisions and I can’t have him until I get an ESA form, but I don’t have the time or money for that. He is a sweetheart. He loves people as much as he loves food. Sometimes a little crazy, but tends to sleep more. Loves playing with people or other animals.
