Story
We adopted Willow as a three week old kitten. Someone had thrown her in the trash and we rescued her and have had her as apart of our home for 9 years. My wife has went through serious health issues over the past three years and due that we are having to re home her, as my wife can’t have cat dander in the house. Willow is declawed, spunky but yet very sweet at times and will cuddle. We hope that the person adopting her will be her forever home.

Story
Link is 5 years old and I have had him since he was a kitten. He is one of the sweetest cats you will ever meet. He is not shy around strangers and will go right up to you and sit on your lap if you let him. If you feel like cuddling, just call him over and he will happily sit on your lap! He is very affectionate as well as very energetic! He loves being pet and chasing toys. He loves doing "cat-acro" where I put him on my feet and he hangs out in the air! I am rehoming him only because I am about to be traveling full-time and unfortunately just won't be able to care for him.

Story
Monkey and Meatball are a pair of bonded brothers that were born to a feral cat colony in May 2023. A nice local lady began feeding them, and over time taught them to love and trust humans. In spring of 2024, Monkey was bit by a copperhead snake and needed emergency medical treatment. The nice lady took him to the vet and them brought him inside her home to recover as a foster. Still outside, Monkey's brother Meatball stopped eating and roaming, he missed his brother so badly. The lady then brought Meatball inside to foster him as well, and the brothers were so relieved to be reunited. These sweet, affectionate boys are now neutered, vaccinated and well adjusted to the comfy inside cat life. They love mouse-shaped catnip toys and to be carried around the house like the big ol babies they are. They need a quiet home with lots of windows to watch birds, a good cat tree climb, and their own person to shower them in snuggles. These boys are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.

Hello, this is Momo. He is a young tuxedo cat (10-11mo). My elderly Aunt currently has health issues and is unable to take care of him any longer. Momo is a sweet, playful, and loving cat. He is the type of cat to become part of your shadow and weave around your legs.

Story
Gigi- 5 years old short hair black cat (spayed). No known health concerns. I rescued her from a Florida dumpster. That's right, a genuine Florida dumpster baby. Right now she is indoor/outdoor (backyard) and loves pets and affection on her terms. She drools when she snuggles and is a master biscuit maker. Also don't mind her snoring– they don't make mini c-pap machines for cats yet. She tolerates dogs from afar and obviously does not like babies. She may do okay with older children that understand boundaries. We are rehoming due to incompatibility with our 6 month old and have exhausted all of our other options.
