Story
Ghost is a real love bug. He loves to snuggle and play fetch, but I believe that he needs to be an only pet. I got him from a person online rehoming because he didn't get along with a bunny that they have. Turns out that he doesn't get along with my older cat either. He's litter trained and neutered.

Tito is almost 8 weeks old. He is litter trained and house trained. He gets along with my older cats and bigger dog. He is attached to mom and siblings still so I’d love to home him to someone who is attentive and loving. He is very playful and loves to cuddle.

Story
Mikah (pronounced meeka) is 4 or 5 years old and an exclusively indoor cat. She was rehomed to me after her original owner could not keep her due to allergies. I have had her for 3 years and in that time she has never acclimated to my multi-cat household. She is super sweet with people and with the dog, but does not like other cats and wil hiss and start fights. She loves laying in the warm sun, sitting next to you on the couch, and running around all crazy. She loves climbing and chasing the laser. She loves rotisserie chicken and churus.
