Cowboy is the sweetest cat you’ll ever meet. He loves to be pet and loves cuddles. He is great with kids, dogs and most other cats.

We got Bagheera as a 10 week old kitten. He is a little over a year old now. He is a very good cat and he is very cute! However my household has changed and life has become too complicating and unaffordable to keep him. I recently had a newborn and taking care of my partially disabled father along with 3 other children. I have another cat who is my first cat and about 3 1/2 years old and he is on prescription cat food both dry and wet which has become very expensive. I cannot continue to afford diff diets nor can I afford to let them both eat the same food. Bagheera constantly steels the prescripted food from my other cat, costing me dbl the servings a day. And although a good cat, he has become even more skittish with my father moving in and the new baby. I tried feliway and several other things and it did not seem to make a diff. I truly feel a new home with a calmer setting would suit him well and he will be more relaxed.

Emmie is a sweet, cocoa-colored girl who wants nothing more than to be your devoted cuddle buddy. Affectionate, gentle, and endlessly loving, she truly thrives on attention and human connection. If you’re looking for a cat who wants to be held, Emmie is your girl. She’s happiest curled up in your arms or tucked in close beside you. Emmie adores people and has a warm, friendly nature that makes everyone feel special. While she would prefer to be your one-and-only feline, she can adapt to living with other cats given a little patience and time. Her biggest wish is a home where she can soak up love, give it right back, and be someone’s constant companion.

Grayson and Mikey are a bonded pair who take great comfort in one another and truly thrive together. Both have healthy appetites and are highly motivated by treats, which makes a great way to build trust. They love to play, explore, and curl up close, and their beautiful markings are just an added bonus. While they are not quite ready to be picked up yet, their socialization is progressing beautifully. With multiple experienced and gentle caregivers working with them daily, they grow more confident all the time. Each day brings them one step closer to happily seeking out affection and eventually leaping right into the arms of their people. If you were to ask Grayson and Mikey whether they would like to be adopted together, you would likely be met with an enthusiastic and howling “MEOW, MEOW, MEOW!” which of course means yes. Grayson is alert, frisky, and playful, with a slightly more cautious personality. He enjoys cuddling and gentle affection from people he knows and is taking his time adjusting to new faces and changes in his surroundings. Mikey is energetic, inquisitive, and playful. He enjoys gentle cuddling and pets from familiar hands and is learning to build trust with new caretakers. Curious by nature, he is becoming more comfortable as his world expands. Together, Grayson and Mikey balance and support one another beautifully and are looking for a patient and loving home ready to welcome them both. Health Information: Grayson and Mikey are current on their rabies vaccinations and have tested negative on the SNAP test. They will still need their distemper vaccinations, which can be completed after adoption.
