Story
Artemis was rescued from an unfortunate situation where she was kept in a cage under a tarp on the street in an encampment. She is a very affectionate and social girl! She is very comfortable around all people, other cats, and dogs. She is very gentle and loves to play and climb! Artemis would do very well in an environment where she can have plenty of enrichment and indoors only. She would do just fine as a solo cat, and she would also do very well in a home with other animals.

Story
We've had Dot and Super Kitty since they were kittens and have only been indoors. Dot is a very sweet but on the shy side. Once she gets comfortable with you however, she will nudge your hands and legs and sometimes drool when she's happy and feeling loved. We are getting ready for a move and won't be able to take the cats with us. They are both really sweet and tend to keep each other company. Ideally, they can stay together but want to find a loving home for each cat individually if that's what's best. Dot prefers to avoid dogs. Both cats have up to date shots and are microchipped.

She is a very playful fun cat. She has a lot of energy and loves attention. She has a fun personality and loves to find the highest places she can to sit or lay. I would love to keep her but I just had a newborn and don't have enough time to focus on her. She's great around other animals and children.

Story
I’m heartbroken to write this, but I need to find a safe home for my beloved cats, Nala and Paw Paw. Financial insecurity has made it impossible for me to keep them. My biggest wish is for them to stay together, as they’re deeply bonded and bring each other comfort. About Nala & Paw Paw: • Nala: 5-year-old female m. She’s spayed, microchipped, healthy, and mostly an indoor cat. A quiet cuddler, she loves one-on-one time. • Paw Paw: 4-year-old male (born March 2021). Neutered, microchipped, and healthy. He’s an indoor-outdoor cat with an outgoing, friendly personality. • Both are great with other animals and kids after adjustment time. • They must stay together to reduce stress. While their vaccinations are overdue, they are healthy. Ideally I’d like to find a long term foster situation to give me time to regain my footing, but more importantly I need them to be safe and together. Please message if you can help.

Story
He was the runt of a litter; a friend caught his mother as she was giving birth, then with other friends fostered him and his mother until they were nine weeks old. I answered her offer of the kitten, thinking it would be company for my older cat when I was out. She was OK with him but not thrilled, but he's gotten so much bigger than she is that she's now afraid of him and won't eat, and has lost a dangerous amount of weight. Meanwhile, he's getting chubby from eating her food! Aside from this he's a great cat. His fur is soft, and his purr is strong. He's very affectionate once he gets to know you but is terrified of new people (until they feed him a few times). He loves to play and has favorite toys, which I'll give to the new cat parents along with a large-cat treadmill I've half built. He's an indoor goofball who plays fetch and begs at table like a dog. He should only be with pets that are large enough to handle his rambunctiousness. I wish I could keep him.

Story
Bmo is around 3 years old. She’s a very sweet and loving animal but for the life of me I can’t not get her to potty train fully. My GF moved in with me almost 2 years ago and brought BMO with. My cat and her instantly got along (both female) and things were going great but eventually BMO developed a habit of peeing on clothes and marking certain spots around the apartment. It took months to break her of this habit but with patience and understanding we worked together to get her to stop that bad habit and things were working great. This last year though she has started doing it again (rarely happens but it does still happen) as well as pooping on the carpet. She will use her litter box to pee but she will not use it for anything else. We’ve tried diets, different liter types, different litter boxes, different liter box placements, she’s even been on medicine to try to help and nothing seems to do the trick, I believe she would best with someone that can be there 24/7 or as an outdoor
