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.

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.

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.

Story
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
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?
