Story
Roscoe was a much loved pet of my neighbor, for 9 years. He is extremely affectionate and loves to be with his owner. My neighbor passed away and we took him in. Unfortunately we are moving and are not allowed pets. He adjusted well to living with us. He is an indoor cat, and litter trained. He is very sweet, and loves to be the center of attention.

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.

Racoon was found with her brothers and sisters at about 1 or 2 weeks old 2 days after their mother got hit by a car. My daughter and I have bottle feed and taken care of these 6 babies since they were found. We love them but we need to try and find them all homes. I cannot keep all of them. I am currently feeding 10 kittens total and 4 grown cats.

Story
Rat is part of a litter of 6 she is the smallest of the bunch but very active. She eats wet food and is liter box trained. I found these 6 kittens on 5/11/24 just 2 days after their mother was hit by a car. We have bottled feed these babies and taken care of them since 5/11/24 and they have been inside the whole time only going outside in the carport to play with some of the outdoor cats but they haven't been outside now for over a month and I just allow them to run around in my sunroom for exercise.

Story
Vicki was an abandoned kitty who is 11 years old. After her owner died she came to stay in my home. She has a typical tortie attitude that makes her truly unique. She likes her personal space but loves chin, cheek and ear scratches. She gives me gentle bites on the hand when I stop petting her to try to pull my hand closer to keep me rubbing around her head also. She gets along well with dogs, my young kids and other cats but will establish dominance as she doesn’t like other animals “in her face.” As you can see from the picture she gets along with my other cat/s and they have established a mutual respect (no one has ever fought). She lives inside and outside. She likes to come and go as she pleases and roam when the weather is nice but also loves a nice warm bed to curl up on at night. She came from a stressful environment and we couldn’t even touch her when we got her so she has come a long way and has a lot of potential. Shes VERY sweet and will do well in a calm loving home.

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.
