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!

Story
I'm a Tortie without the 'tude. I wait my turn for treats and loves. I was an outdoor cat for at least a few years. I was brought inside and once I realized that I no longer had to worry about finding shelter in the winter or in the rain and always had fresh water and food, I began to really like it inside. I was always friendly with the humans but now I could snuggle on nice soft blankets, beds, pillows...it was amazing. I used to catch lots of mice and even some birds but I'm learning that catching my tail is so much more fun. I love to play with ball towers and cat teasers, too. I was never able to be a kitten...had to grow up fast. I even get along with the big dogs that live here, too! The people who took me in are very nice but since they took my kittens and I in, they're stretched thin. They already had many cats before we got there. They love us but we need more room (& lots more scritches)! There are others of us who need furever homes as well (but I'm the most bestest!)

Story
Got this loveable cat 2 years ago from a friend who wanted to put them out, I have had Tommy for 2 years now along with his brother Jerry. He is very cuddly when he wants to but very loving. He does love to follow me around the house and if not that loves to lie around. He is very quiet unless he is hungry lol. Unfortunately I am unable to keep them any longer due to cost and living issues. I am moving to a new apartment and my new roommate does not like cats because she is allergic to them. I do not want to make her uncomfortable so I am looking to rehome them or out them in a shelter. I also only have 1 week to find a new home for them. If you are looking to adopt this cat please let it be known that I will like him to be adopted with his brother, I DO NOT want them separated. They are brothers and grew up together and wouldn't be fair to separate them.
