Story
Adopted her as a kitten, and have had her for 10 years. She is friendly but a little skittish around young children, does better with older kids and adults. Is litter box trained but will sometimes go outside the box when she is upset. Does not get along with dogs or other cats. Is a great mouser. Has claws still. Have to rehome as she does not get along with our dog and is now confined to a single room in the house which is not fair to her.

Story
I have an 11 year old cat that is very well loved. He is very affectionate and easy going. He is pretty quick with adjustment also (we moved several times). We unfortunately cannot keep him due to my four-year-old having cystic fibrosis and has many lung problems. We have been trying to keep the cat away from her, but unfortunately, even the smallest amount of pet dander is an irritation to her. We also have a newborn on the way. He may be 11, but still has a lot of spunk and playfulness. He loves little catnip play mice. But he also loves to snuggle on your lap at night. Please help to find a forever home.

Story
Buddy and his brother Winchester were dumped as three month old kittens on our cul-de-sac. We found Winchester under our car and Buddy was found by our neighbors. He lived with one obese, older cat and the series of three French bulldogs, all now deceased except the new puppy. Five years later, our neighbor stated Buddy was not getting along with the new puppy and planned on surrendering him. That’s when we offered to take him. Despite gradual and repeated introduction trials with three different medications, Buddy stalks and attacks his brother, Winchester . Buddy initially had altercations with our two older cats, but they held their ground and he leaves them alone. Winchester has been very stressed with every introduction attempt and begins peeing and pooping outside of his box. We hope that Buddy can be adopted by someone looking for a single pet. He is affectionate, playful, uses his box, agreeable for nail clipping, and getting in and out of his carrier for trips to the vet.

Story
***Courtesy Post*** First let me say that this is not an easy decision for Blu and Stormi's owners. They love them very much and have tried everything. I have found over the years that placing a cat or cats in a home away from whatever started the behavior does work. I am also encouraging any serious adopters to take them first on a "trial" to see how things go. Please continue reading, if you think you might be a good match for Blu and Stormi. Meet Blu, a stunning Russian Blue/Bombay cat. Blu is very sweet, and snuggly, and opinionated, lol She loves to be petted and showered with lots of attention. She also likes treats and catnip! Blue is not comfortable in loud and busy environments. Blu must be adopted with her pretty sister Stormi. They are litter mates and have been joined at the hip since birth. They would be lost without each other, and we are seeking a home that would welcome both of them. The "only" reason their owners are making this heartbreaking decision is because they had a baby a year ago and since then Blu has had behavioral issues with peeing outside of the litter box. Please don't cast judgment. Sometimes no matter what you try, it just doesn't work. Their owners feel that Blu is not happy being confined to a room or in a large dog crate. Because of this we feel both cats would do well in a home without small children. Both cats are gentle around the one-year-old, but the behavior hasn't stopped since the baby arrived.

Story
Twice the love here folks! Roscoe and Ricky (son), along with 11 of their friends, were rescued earlier this summer. They were in a situation where their senior owner/caretaker was no longer able to care for them. Ricky started out a little bit shy, but once in a foster home with my friend Teri, he enjoys running around and chasing Roscoe, and thinks life is great! Roscoe is outgoing and not shy at all. He is quite fond of Ricky, as is apparent in the pictures. They are "bonded" and will only be adopted "together". Both are gorgeous colored cats! Both Roscoe and Ricky have been neutered, vaccinated and have tested negative for leukemia/FIV. When adopting 2 cats, the adoption fee is cut in half. So instead of $200 for two cats, the adoption fee is only $150. All adopters receive copies of all medical records. To meet these two cuties, please contact, Kathy Deptola Animal Rescue 440 862 0610 kdanimalrescue@gmail.com
