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.

Story

Make room in your lap, here I come! My name is Minou (French for "kitty") or Minnie for short. I am the quintessential kitten. I give everything the perfect kitten can provide. Unending love and kisses for my people. Everlasting lap visits, complete with non-stop purring! I love to play with you, with crinkly paper or toys. I will follow you everywhere and snuggle under your covers at night if you like. I know how to sleep quietly in another room if you prefer. During the day I am a gravity-defying center of energy except when snoozing between your legs or on your shoulder. I am learning not to leap onto the counters at a single bound, but I am very capable of this super-kitty feat! Curiosity is my middle name. I explore and play-hunt. I am fearless and alert, smart, nimble and strong. I will be your ever-faithful fun companion. Wouldn't you like to meet me?

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Jiji loves to sunbathe and lay on whatever surface the sun is hitting. She loves reaching for treats and butt scratches. She’s a typical black cat: Loves to chase and hunt things (baby pacifiers and bottle nipples, as of late). She is very loved, and it breaks my heart to have to let her go, but unfortunately our new family dynamic with our new baby makes it really hard to give her the love and care she needs. It’s very hard to keep up with her, our other cat Izzy, our two pups, an old house that refuses to stay clean and the baby. We will only rehome to the right family/person. We will include a litter box and genie (both used but will be thoroughly cleaned), 6 boxes of litter, dry food and storage containers for it, 2 boxes of wet food and treats.

Details

Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I have an adorable 4y black, short-hair, cat with two white spots on her. Her name is Midnight Elvira. She is a very sweet, affectionate cat who loves cuddles and belly rubs and has been living with dogs since she was 4 months old. The issue I have with her, and the reason why I want to re-home her, is for the last 2 years she has been peeing and pooping outside of her litter box. Primarily on the dogs bed. I have had to move 4 times in about 2 years, and I am also about to begin a very intense college program in January and I recognize that these issues are probably triggering her behavior. I recognize that despite my efforts (i.e., talking to vets, fluoxetine, daily cleaning, two cat boxes, attractants, deterrents, etc.), she would be happier living with more stability, with someone who can provide a single cat house, or maybe even living with another cat. She likes being outside with me on my porch but is not fully an indoor/outdoor cat.
