Story
Saint was found abandoned in a home that had been under eviction approximately 30 days prior. Owners left him with no food and water and did not let the homeowner know of his existence. He was found at 6 pounds and he was severely emaciated. After emergency vet services and IV fluids he perked up and was very sweet. We spent a year on private in home rehabilitation and paid for removal of some teeth that had gone bad due to the malnutrition he suffered. He gained his weight back and is a happy healthy loving cat. He loves humans and children, but has been seen to react negatively when exposed to other cats because of his prior home experience. Needs to be the only cat in home. We have not tested him with dogs, but if cats are any inclination, he may not be friendly to them either. His rescuer can't keep him due to medical decline. It saddens us, but we are now looking for a home for this sweet Saint. He actually loves the vet, and he is up to date medically. p>

Story
Mittens is being surrendered to our rescue due to too many animals in the home. She is utd on vaccinations & spayed. She is an independent cat, who will snuggle with you occasionally. She might need a little work with litter training, it is intermittent, but it is probably due to the number of cats in the home vs. the number of litter boxes. She is about 3 years old and weighs about 8lbs.

Story
Meet Chloe, a 1-year-old female short hair female! Chloe enjoys being played with and being pet, but she does not currently love being in a home with 3 rambunctious male cats! She would do fine with another female as long as they don't want to wrestle! Chloe is not yet spayed. Should not be with intact males. I have an appt in May at a low-cost shelter that I put down a deposit if you would like to keep that. Includes a rabies shot. Chloe is sweet and just wants to be around calmer cats than ours! I want what's best for her. We are in Westlake. Can you give Chloe a home?

Story
Due to medical issues I can no longer keep this 5 year old boy home with me. He gets along really well with dogs. He is a total attention seeker, on his own terms, of course, and loves to snuggle up on my chest. He is neutered and declawed (the front claws). He is a drama queen and a picky eater. He needs a good home where he will be loved Lake County Ohio

Story
Nia has been with me for 10 years. She will be 11 on May 4th! She has been with me while I welcomed my partner and his two young children, and she was by my side when we welcomed our daughter. She has had 2 cat sisters, her current sister is 6 years her junior. Nia is an indoor cat who enjoys outdoor time with her family. She loves lounging in the sun, cuddling with her family, and her favorite time of day is dinner time. Unfortunately, Nia has recently been diagnosed with diabetes. She now has scheduled feeding times, measuring food intake, and daily medications. Thankfully, she is adapting well to her new schedule. We will soon be welcoming a new child into our family, and this has made it hard to keep up with Nia’s needs. With her diabetes diagnosis, she experiences polyuria, requiring her litter boxes to be scooped more often, which is hard to do while pregnant and caring for children. Looking for a new owner that can provide Nia with the time and care she needs.

Story
This female black/white kitten was rescued after it was walking around our property with a plastic drink container tightly wrapped around its neck and front leg. She was malnourished, had thin fur and a cut from the plastic (which has healed). We estimate she is approximately 5 months old. We were able to trap her and take the plastic drink container off of her on October 16th. We thought we had someone interested in providing her w/a forever home and it fell through. She is shy, but we are able to pet her, feed her and interact with her daily. She uses a litter box for urine, but is unsure about pooping in the litter box, but we are encouraging it. She currently prefers sleeping in a fully enclosed box with straw instead of a box w/a towel or on a heated pad. We would love to have someone provide her with a forever home. She has put on weight and has a full coat now, had 1 round of wormer as a precaution 2 wks ago. She is fed Iams kitten dry food and some soft kitten Sheba food.
