Story
Elmo is a super lovable, rambunctious cat in need of a loving home. He loves to play, cuddle, and sunbathe on the porch on warmer days. He is in love with his catnip pickle and his tracker toys. He will quickly cuddle a place into your heart with his spirit and funny antics. We would keep him but our lifestyle just can’t accommodate him at this time. He comes with all his toys and his litter robot. We want it to be as smooth a transition as possible.

Story
Tripp is an eight-year-old neutered male cat. He is a super sweet and friendly cat; he has sometimes been compared to acting more like a dog than a cat! Cuddling up against a person is one of his favorite things. Sun-bathing (so typical for a cat lol) is also something he enjoys, any sliver of sun he will find to lounge in, especially if he can watch the birds and other critters outside at the same time. He does set a fluffy cute trap by rolling onto his back and showing that cute kitty tummy, you can usually get a few good rubs in before he decides it’s time to wrestle your hand. He is obsessed with chewing on plastic, so don’t leave your grocery bags unattended or he might take a nibble. Playtime is something he enjoys, chasing a toy up and down the hallway and bounding over the couch but he usually loses interest after 10-15 minutes. He is good with other cats, probably not elderly or frail as he does enjoy wrestling and playing a bit too rough for a compromised companion.

Story
Pangur ban is a 2 year old short hair. Hes quite an angel, but as a college student I just dont have the resources to give him the home he deserves right now. He is quiet, and very cuddly. He loves sleeping and snuggles. I have a pretty large family, so hes used to other animals and lots of children. He is pretty large for a short hair, but he is really a fantastic cat. -2 years old -Potty trained -Caught up on shots -Comes with bowls, blankets and a tower if needed

Story
Smoky is an 8 year old precious and friendly 3-legged cat. She loves to be close by for snuggles and pets. She loves to be brushed, rubbed around her neck, and under her jaw. Her 3 legs don’t slow her down and she’s great with stairs, hoping on and off beds, etc. Smoky likes to be close by but she also likes a little alone time here and there. She used to have another cat friend in the home and she had no issues! She does well around babies and toddlers, but mostly keeps to herself or hangs out in another room when youngsters are around. She’s shy at first, but once you get to know her, she loves a good chat and to keep you company! We’re looking to find her a home before mid-December, before the arrival of our second baby.

Story
I originally fostered Ashe because a coworker found him and his siblings beside a dumpster at work. He was barely 2 months old, he was dewormed and defleaed and given his shots. He unfortunately began having issues with peeing outside the litter box. He knows very well how to use the litterbox but will pee on any clothes or towels left out. He has had this issue since ~3 months old. Ashe is just over a year old now (was born likely in August 2023). He is a big cuddler, he enjoys playing, he is shy to new people but will warm up to you! He requires lots of attention, so its best if he goes to a caretaker where someone is frequently home. Ashe is the sweetest boy, loves to jump and be in high places, is curious despite his timid nature, and deserves so so much love!!!
