Story
Chili is an amazing cat, he’s a little over a year old. We got him as a kitten and he’s AMAZING with children. We got a dog about 5 months ago, and at first they were getting along, and now he’s become reclusive and hides most of the day. When our dog is crated he will come out and roam the house but does not like our dog.

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.

Story
August (Auggie) is a 12 year old sweet boy. I adopted him from a woman in Arizona when he was 3 years old, because her new husband was allergic to cats. He has been with me through EVERYTHING including various moves, breakups, grad school, getting married, and having my daughter. I love him so much, that I feel like rehoming would be the best thing for him. When my husband and I moved in together, we each had our own cats. Unfortunately, August has not been able to adjust to having a cat brother. For the last 2 years, my normally sweet, outgoing, playful, cuddly, social boy, has become sad, reclusive, and picking fights with the other cat. We have done everything we can to help him adjust, but he refuses. He is great around humans, even my 1 year old daughter, but feels threatened and can not stand to live with another cat. I am looking to rehome him because I just want him to be happy. Hoping to find someone who wants to give lots of love to this sweet boy.

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
Grey has been an incredible therapy cat to me for almost seven years. She was adopted from a rescue in Pittsburgh, where she was introduced to me as, "the chillest cat we've ever seen". Grey also goes by "Gracie" and will be your absolute best friend. She likes to greet guests at the door, constantly be able to see you, and will encourage you to lay in the sunlight with her for a quick nap. Gracie also has litter box problems that I am not home enough to solve, so she would do best with a human or a family of humans who are around often.

Story
We adopted Biggie this past winter. He had been returned to the shelter a few times due to failure to acclimate. After an extremely timid start, he has thrived in my busy (2 other cats, 2 dogs, 2 teens) home. However, as he gained ground in his comfort zone, my older cat lost hers. So as hard as it is, we're looking to rehome him. Biggie is very friendly, rather laid back, but also very curious about the others cats and would really like a tolerant sibling, or even a kitten! I also think he would thrive as an only. He has been able to go outside where I am, but if he needed to stay in for safety reasons, I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem. He loves his scratcher and kitty condo, cat nip and treats. He is fully litterbox trained, up to date on shots and super sweet and floofy <3
