Story
Beautiful Luna goes for her spay tomorrow! After she is healed she will be available to go to her new furever home. Luna is part of the Mountain Rottie Rescue "Nottie" division 🤣 She's not a rottie but she is a MRR rescue. She's currently in foster with both Rottie & cat siblings. She loves to play and has absolutely No Fear! She would absolutely love siblings to play with, she prefer's their company the most. But at night she does some sleep in the bed with me, she actually follows me around in the evening likes she's just waiting for bedtime!! She is curious and smart! Her head tilts a little to the left as she had a very bad ear infection as a baby, but vet said she looks good now and it only makes her cuter!!

Story
Rosie is about 12 years old and we have had her 8 years now. We have to rehome her due to her behavior getting worse due to us having a new baby. She started eliminating outside of the box more when I was pregnant, specifically eliminating in areas only I sat in, and now she has started going right outside the box sometimes. Anytime we have taken her to the vet, they say her health is great and they don't know why she's doing it. She also does not have most of her teeth, and she had been losing them even before we adopted her almost 8 year ago. She is very attention demanding a lot of the time, once she is okay with you. She can be incredibly skittish and scared at first. Once she gets to know you, she loves pets, to snuggle and belly rubs. She is incredibly docile. She is an indoor only cat. She is an absolute sweetheart and we have loved having her as a part of our family and doing this absolutely breaks our hearts and was the hardest decision we have had to make.

Story
We adopted Milton from the North Shore Animal League in Glens Falls when he was 8 weeks old. He is 3 yrs old now and full of energy and enjoys a lot of interactive play with a laser light or wand toys. Milton can be very mischievous (he likes to explore every place in the house) and he's very affectionate to his human, which is me. He will crawl into bed at night and sleep under my chin. We are in our 60s and are putting him up for adoption because we forgot how stressful and tiring it can be to raise a kitten. In the past we always had 2 cats so they pretty much played with each other but we're not able to get another cat as a companion for Milton. My husband and I have a lot of medical issues and it's becoming more stressful to keep him entertained. It really breaks my heart to have to rehome Milton but I think he'd be much happier in a home with someone who can give him all the love and playtime he needs.
