Story
Sweet, very playful, and constantly purring. Never scratches or bites. Loves being brushed. Born May 2018. She's very communicative and intelligent, soft, loves sleeping in baskets and sunspots. Likes a scheduled, simple life with a consistent bedtime and meals. Obsessed with munching grass in the yard (we used a leash). Hates mess and clutter, prefers very clean environment. Big personality. We adopted Pumpkin (our "Baby Girl") in 2019 after she was returned twice to the shelter by other families. she struggles to use the litter box correctly when stressed and needs a very clean and consistent environment, and access to outside regularly, which we're unable to provide. She pees on the carpet, but shows guilt. Would be a great indoor/outdoor cat, but our situation doesn't allow for that currently. I believe she just needs the right environment and she'll do fine, we just can't give it to her. She's a very special cat and I'm heartbroken to lose such a sweet and kind friend.

Story
Meet Milo - our beloved “cow cat” Milo is a loving, relaxed 11-year-old American Shorthair with a white coat and gray spots, “our cow cat”. He’s been with our family since 2013, adopted as a kitten from PetSmart in Nashville, and has grown with us through moves to South Carolina and Knoxville. Milo loves lounging by the fireplace, sitting on laps, and purring at your feet. Healthy weight and up to date on vaccinations, he thrives in calm environments and would prefer to be an only cat, though he has lived with another feline before. Sadly, due to our daughter’s health issues, we’ve had to make the heart-wrenching decision to rehome Milo. We are committed to finding him the perfect family who will cherish his gentle nature and affectionate personality. If you’re interested in welcoming Milo into your home, please reach out. We’ll be selective to ensure he finds the loving, forever home he deserves.

Story
Fern is 5-6 years old. She's a sweet girl. She and her brother Finn belonged to my mother who had to move into assisted living. She is very adaptable and has a gentle, friendly nature. Her brother is also available for adoption. It would be preferable for them to go together as they have always been in the same home, but we understand this may be a luxury. She's very pretty and has one green eye and one blue eye.

Story
Mittens was found at approximately 4 weeks old with no other cats/kittens around. I have been fostering her ever since. I do have another cat already at home, that is not fond of other cats so I am unable to keep Mittens. She is super sweet and I am just trying to find her a safe and loving home!

Story
Moosh is 3-4 years old. He was found on the side of the street when he was younger. He is an extremely affectionate cat, and can sometimes be quite demanding about it. He loves people and interacting with new people. There is need for time to get to used to new people, he loves everybody. From what we have experienced, he is very passive and has no problem with other cats, however he has never been with a dog. He’s hilarious, adorable, affectionate, and sometimes a little aloof.
