Story
Cooper is a sweet and affectionate, DEAF, approx. 1 yr old boy. He loves us humans but not his own kind so he needs to be the only cat. He seems more comfortable with our dog but since he's been kept mostly separate it hasn't been tested enough to know for sure. If he got along with the rest of our gang we would keep him forever, but sadly he doesn't, so we need to find him a better situation than we can provide. Cooper tested negative for Feline Leukemia and AIDS. He has a small cloudy spot on his right eye, probably from some past trauma, but it doesn't seem to bother him or affect his vision. Cooper must have had a rough kittenhood and he now deserves a comfortable and happy life. He greets us with excitement and joy. He is fun to play with and his ability to catch little fuzzy balls out of the air is pretty impressive. It's easy to forget that he is deaf because he acts like any other cat except he's not afraid of the vacuum cleaner and you can sneak up on him more easily.

Story
I adopted Jupiter (aka Jupi) from Humane Animal Rescue, Pittsburgh, as a kitten. She is a little over a year old. Jupi is very friendly, social, and likes to sit on lap. Jupi also has an instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/jupi.paws/. With some big changes in my life and a busy schedule, I’m worried I won’t be able to give Jupi the time and care she deserves. I love her and just want what’s best for her.

Story
Comet is an 8 year old sweet boy. We have had him since 8 months old. He is very friendly and a lover to most everyone. After 8 years of trying endlessly to make it work because we love him so much, we realize it just isn't fair to him. Unfortunately, he does not like to share a litter box with our other cats, all a few years older than him. He is very territorial and needs his own space and litter box completely - inaccessible to other animals. When this happens he does great and uses the box just fine, but as soon as one of our other cats uses the box he will not go inside of it until it is cleaned. Other than the Litter box territorial behavior, he interacts with people, cats and dogs just fine! Very friendly, not aggressive at all! I really just think living with 3 other cats, one dog and 4 children is too busy of a home for Comet. I really want to find him a home he can be at ease in and live out the rest of his life in peace.

Story
Pierogi is a gentle, affectionate 10‑year‑old cat who loves curling up with his person, napping together, and enjoying quiet companionship. He’s calm, loyal, and happiest in a peaceful home. He also has a curious side — he watches “cat TV,” tracks birds outside, chases feather toys, and stretches out in warm sunspots. In winter, he becomes a little heat‑seeking loaf by the vents. He does experience some anxiety and thrives with a predictable routine and someone who’s home often. With stability, his sweet personality really shines. He’s currently avoiding his litter box, and after trying to address it, it’s clear he’d do better in a different environment that suits his needs. The goal is to find him a home where he feels secure and understood. If you’re patient, gentle, and want a deeply loving companion, Pierogi has so much affection to share.
