Story
Mithra is a neutered orange tabby that's approximately 2 years old. I've had him since he was ~3 months from the my local county shelter. He needs a family that's energetic and can keep up with his high energy levels (although he's also really chill when he chooses to be). We have 8 other cats in the house but none of them are as active and into engaging in play fights as much as Mithra is. As he grew older, we thought he mellowed out but we fostered a family of kittens and their mom earlier last year and his play energy was occupied by them. He played with them and the mom very often and she kept him in check as she was very fiesty. However, once they were all adopted and left (~half a year later), there was no one to keep up with his energy to play anymore. Since then, he has been having behavioral issues with the other cats in the house and it has come to the point of considering rehoming him. *If adopted, a bag of litter and food (dry and wet) will be provided to help adjust.

Story
Sugar is 16 years old and belongs to a friend of mine. Sugar was raised with her sibling (Spice), who died 2 years ago. Sugar lived with a senior couple. The husband died in November and the wife is now entering an assisted living facility (no option to bring the cat.) Sugar is sweet and quiet. She would likely do best in a quiet home.

Story
Whitney Breed: Domestic Short Hair Gender: female, spayed Age: 8-10 years old Weight: 6 pounds Adoption fee: has been covered Whitney is really a hoot! She isn’t really a lap cat, but she does enjoy communing with her people. She has also discovered “cat videos” and is hooked! There isn’t a safe mouse, bird, or squirrel on the screen! She has also inspected the video device and determined the creatures just disappear! Wow! Whitney has also started playing with toys and, once, helped her family with a small rodent intruder! She’s handy, she’s sweet, and she’s ready for a good time! We think Whitney would enjoy an older home that doesn’t have a lot going on in terms of visitors, but with folks who enjoy a cat for company and showing her a good time! Whitney is up to date on vaccinations and tested negative for FIV/FeLV.

Muffin was found one day underneath the hood of our car on a rainy day. She was a kitten at the time so we took her in. She has grown to be the most affectionate, loving and sweetest cat there is. She is great with children. Unfortunately, we are expecting again and feel it’s best to put her with someone that can show her the attention she deserves.

Story
Snow was born on February 14th, 2023, which makes it pretty cool that he has a heart shape on his lower back. He's a nice cat, very very food oriented and very smart. I just have an autistic son who doesn't understand boundaries and Snow really enjoys his boundaries. He's somewhat independent and tends to want attention more on his terms. He's a good cat overall, but unfortunately I can't deal with him and my son sort of coming to blows.

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! Seeking a new home due to our toddler developing a cat allergy, which was managed for some time but now we have a newborn and are unable to continue managing allergens in the home.
