Story

Milo and his brother Murphy were born on a farm in the summer of 2021. Milo is inquisitive, snuggly, and incredibly good around kids. He loves to play, and he loves finding new spots in the house to enjoy. His favorite activities are spending time on a window perch watching the birds and wrestling with his brother. Murphy is the more reserved of the two and is perfectly content to snuggle on any lap or blanket available. He can be shy around new visitors, but warms up quickly. He loves anyone new he meets. His favorite activities are finding new cozy spots around the house, napping, and romping around. We have two children, and between our full-time work schedules do not have the time to spend with our cats. We would prefer both the cats to stay together in their next home. Both cats are up to date on shots, neutered, and have never had health concerns. They do NOT like dogs. They are indoor cats. We will give everything for the cats from our home to their next owners.

Details

Not good with kids, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Dad was found with his girlfriend and two kittens in an unsafe area by S IH-35. He got along well with his girlfriend and kittens, but they were scooped up and found homes. Dad was fixed and put back on the streets before anyone noticed how friendly he was! A nice human stepped in and noticed his health was deteriorating outside and had no constant source of food or water. He was taken inside to focus on his health. Turns out, he LOVES being around people! Dad thinks toys are ok but prefers getting pets and sitting next to a loving human or snuggling at night! Although Dad tested positive for FIV (weakened immune system), FIV cats tend to have normal life spans when cared for and the majority never experience complications. FIV is only transmitted to other cats through blood transfusions and serious penetrating bite wounds. FIV cannot be transmitted to humans or other animals. Dad would be the healthiest as an indoor cat but a bonus to have access to an enclosed outdoor space.

Percy is 5 months (born September 2). He's a very sweet, loving, and affectionate boy. He's playful (climbing & parkour apparently lol), fairly verbal. Loves to cuddle & be with his brother. I would prefer to keep them together, but he'd be okay with his person or with a friend!

Rory

American Shorthair

Male, Adult

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Rory was born outside to a stray that we were feeding. After a few months, he invited himself into the house. He enjoys being outside, loves to play but is rather shy. I believe he would very much enjoy being a barn cat or with a lot more time and one on one than we can give him, a very good indoor/outdoor cat. He gets along very well with cats and dogs but since he has had limited serious attention, probably would not be a good cat for a family with young children that might scare him or break what little trust he has. He's a bit skittish so I don't believe that would be very good for him. I think he would do well with someone calm and dedicated to bringing him out of his shell. He is mostly unvetted though he is neutered. He likes pets and treats and what cat doesn't like chinny scritches?

Unfortunately, a family member isn’t too fond of her and wants us to find her a new home. Our only wish is for Moonie to be welcomed into a caring and loving family where she’ll be cherished.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Archie is beautiful and soft almost 4 year old orange kitty. He’s house trained, friendly and loving. We previously had a medium sized senior dog and another cat that he was friendly with and got along great with until they passed away last year. He’s had his regular shots and doctor visits every year and has no health issues. He enjoys being inside and looking out windows or snuggling on the couch. No problems with scratching as we have always kept one of those perforated cardboard scratching block toys in our living space. Archie must be re-homed due to our 2nd daughter having severe allergies to cats that we cannot overcome. We will miss him dearly and need to ensure he has a proper home and will also be including a generous supply of his kitty food to come along, all free of charge. Thank you for your consideration of our little loving Archie.

Freya is a very sweet, determined, but temperamental girl. She was originally found nearly abandoned (someone came occasionally to throw food in the front door) in an apartment with another cat. They were alone together often on for about two weeks before discovery. She’s very loyal to the parent. She deans her favorite, but seems to be very nervous around anyone else in the home or new friends although she is generally nice to them. She has never created an issue with children, but likes to stay clear from them at all possibilities. She does well with other cats however she is very, very particular about wanting a clean litter box and will act out if it is not to her standards with that said she may do Best as the only animal in the home. When she warms up, she will make a great companion, very loving, very loyal and loves to cuddle.

Story

Pallas is sweet and loving. I adopted her about 3 years ago, but I’m renting and my landlord won’t allow a pet. She’s great with my mom’s two smaller dogs and cat - we lived in the home with them for two years and she loved hanging out with the dogs! She likes to be held and will cuddle up with you on the sofa. She’s vocal and likes to have chats, which makes her great company for a single person. She’s well behaved, litter trained and not a scratcher.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This poor guy was abandoned by his family. They moved and just put him out on the street to fend for himself. The homeless people in the area began abusing him. A good Samaritan worried for his safety contacted us. He has been vetted and this sweet guy just can't catch a break. He is under 2 years old and is neutered, but is positive for FIV. (equivalent to HIV in humans). He can go on to live many years and lead a normal life with good nutrition and a low stress environment. Due to the virus it is recommended that he be in a home with no other cats, unless they too are infected. He is such a sweet boy. If you have a soft spot in your heart for needy and forgotten felines, please think about giving this gentle guy a loving home.
