Story
Happy feet was adopted from the SPCA in west Seneca. He is a 4 years old orange shorthair. He is a very sweet cat but has some behavior issues. I think he’d benefit in a one cat household. The reason I have to get rid of him is that he wakes me up every day early in the morning before work and I am not getting any sleep. He likes to cuddle and play.

Story
Felix was adopted from SPCA in September. He had been rescued from a hoarding situation. He is very shy and anxious and was very scared when I first got him. He now is able to socialize with the other cat in the household. In fact, he now begs for treats by meowing at the door. He LOVES food and will run at the sound of food hitting his bowl or the treat bag being opened. It takes time. I am looking to rehome Felix to an owner who can take care of his needs and can dedicate time to getting to know him better. At first, he will be very skittish, but will eventually warm up to you. He likes to roam around the house, so it is best not to keep him confined to a single room after he warms up.

Story
3 Years ago I went to the animal shelter in search of a cat. Upon sitting down this cat climbed in my lap purred and swatted all other cats away. He wanted to be adopted. Crook is a unique cat that would be satisfied to be on a lap and cuddle with his owner 24/7. It is because of this need for attention that I have elected to look for a new home for my cat. He is calm, laid -back and gentle. He just loves to be held. In many ways Crook acts more like a dog than a cat. He loves all ages and all people and does not know a stranger. He would be a perfect service animal for older adult or one who is struggling with anxiety. He simply just wants to be held and be close. He is a perfect lap cat. I want to find a new home for my cat who can provide all the love and touch that he desires. If you want a beautiful cat that will love you unconditionally, then Crook is your perfect cat.

Story
We’ve spent 5 months trying to help our resident 9-year-old cat and 5-year-old large dog adjust, but it isn’t working. The kittens are friendly, but our older pets react aggressively, and keeping everyone separated isn’t fair. The kittens must stay together. They are very sweet, affectionate, social, and great with kids. They chirp instead of meow. Both are fixed and up to date on shots (yearly boosters likely needed late April/early May). Honey is extremely affectionate and loves being petted for hours. She has feline herpes, which is manageable and does not affect life expectancy. She may occasionally sneeze but is otherwise very healthy, playful, and loving. Meowie is a confident, cuddly boy who loves being held, warm laps, and toys (especially marbles and bird wands). He chirps a lot and often comes when called. They eat Purina 1+kitten food, use pine pellet litter, and will come with some toys and a bed. This is a heartbreaking decision, and we are looking for a safe, loving home.
