Story
She is a very friendly cat and has done amazing with our 2 small kids. She loves to play with our wiener dog and gets along well with our medium sized dog as well. She has recently started having issues with using the litter box and that is ultimately why we are rehoming her. If we didn’t have small kids I would try to make it work, but it is becoming an unsafe environment for them when we don’t know if there will be cat feces on the floor or not.

Story
Bella is a beautiful, loving, 10 year old female. She loves one on one attention; I am an avid reader and Bella is a great reading buddy. Our problems started a few years ago when we got a puppy. Bella took a very long time to get adjusted. She would lash out at the pup and occasionally pee outside of the litter box. We also travel a great deal which is very upsetting for her. Although we always have a sitter, bc of her attachment issues, Bella is very angry and agitated a for days after we return. Recently my daughter moved home with her dog and everyday is a challenge and upsetting to her. Our situation is no longer livable as she has started peeing outside of her box and is constantly agitated. Bella needs a loving, quiet, home where she can give and receive love & attention without excess travel, other animals or children. If you are looking for a forever friend, Bella is your gal!

Ollie is about to turn three on April 1st she’s a sweetheart, and loves to cuddle. And she is quite independent. She can be a bit skittish, but gets along with everybody. She’s a bit territorial so she should be the only female cat in the house, but she gets along wonderfuly with males.

Story
Row is 3 yrs old, she is very sweet and shy but she warms up very quickly. Usually if i’m introducing her to a new person, it takes about five minutes for her to warm up. she’s very cuddly and sweet. if she could, she would sit in your lap for like eight hours. Would probably do best in a one Cat home but she does get along with other cats.

Story
My husband and I (both retired) have had Tippy (all black except for the tip of his tail which is white) for close to two years. Tippy is two years old. Tippy is a very affectionate cat but he does not get along with our other cat ~ Tippy wants all the attention. Our vet told us that some cats do better in a one pet household. Tippy is very affectionate and loves laying in my lap ~ for hours! He also loves playing with his toys. He's shy around strangers but once he becomes familiar with a visitor he comes out of hiding. Never had any issues around our grandkids ~ he disappears when they get noisy. He is an indoor cat ONLY. This is an extremely hard decision to rehome Tippy but for his wellbeing and our other cat's wellbeing we feel rehoming, to a home where he is the only pet is what’s best for Tippy. We will provide Tippy’s cat carrier, cat box and litter Genie.
