Story
Gizmo is a friendly and affectionate male cat, who lives for cuddles and pets. He is always looking for a lap to lay on, and is great with young children. He is litterbox trained and an indoor cat only. He requires prescription food and a clean litterbox. Our family has loved Gizmo since he was a kitten, but unfortunately our young daughter is allergic so we are hoping to find a nice home where he can live out his senior years.

Story
I originally adopted Cider from the Oregon Humane Society when I was 12 years old. She’s been a sweet, cuddly, playful, and amazing pet every day since then- but my living situation has recently downsized quite significantly, and I’ve been so busy between work and school that I worry about her quality of life… She’s never had any health issues until some gingivitis that started up last year, and I’ve been paying for regular dental cleanings and tooth protecting treatments regularly. She has an account with Banfield until July of next year, as well. She’s only 11-12 years old, and still has a wonderful life ahead of her- I just want to make sure she’s taken care of properly by a loving family that’s deserving of her…

Story
Petey is a stray that I took in and had neutered. He is playful and cuddly. Very food motivated. He needs two xl litter boxes. My pick on him so he fights back but if you have cats that are respectful I think that would be fine.

Story
Toby is his legal name, he was my wife's ESA animal way back when. She nicknamed him Chunks because he's a Chunky boi and it stuck. Very spoiled bc of my wife but she passed away last year and I took him in as my ESA animal. Now I see I barely have time and energy to properly take care of him and tend to him as she used to, I just wish to give him a proper home that he deserves.

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
Mary is very playful, inquisitive, and vocal. She loves to talk to humans. Unfortunately she doesn’t get along with our other cat (her litter mate) or our dog. She would live her best life in a petless home, with someone or multiple someones who are often home (retired, works from home, multi-person household). Likes a good back scratch and her “Da Bird” toy. 3 years old.

Story
We adopted this beautiful, friendly boy in December of 2022. I found out shortly thereafter that I was pregnant. During my pregnancy, Andie was the sweetest companion. He is a lap cat by nature and ALWAYS wants to be near you! He loves pets and playing. He eagerly greets visitors. However, when I brought my twins home in September of 2023, I could tell that Andie was stressed. He wasn't getting as much attention and the constant noise of babies led him to start over-grooming. I wanted to give him a full year to see if he might adapt; however, he is still over-grooming and has begun to demonstrate redirected aggression. Andie never had any behavioral issues before my children were born. I believe he would be an incredible cat for a home where people are typically present (work from home) and would do well with much older children who can be gentle and even play with him.
