Story

Meet Moby! Moby is 7 years old and has lived with us since he was a kitten. He is social, loyal to his people, and loving. His favorite thing is a warm lap with a blanket and someone to love him. He is a lover! With a new baby and a toddler in the house, he feels a bit unsure of his place and is wanting more attention than we are able to give him. He is an indoor cat and is often lounging in front of a window or sleeping in a cozy corner. He’s comfortable with living with a dog who is kind to him, but we suggest no young children living in the house. We hope to find a home that will give Moby the love he deserves!

Story

Cricket is approximately 1 to 1.5 years old. We found him roaming our neighborhood on our night cameras outside. It was the middle of summer and he was looking worse and worse trying to get through the heat. It took us a few weeks or so to get him to trust us. When we finally brought him inside, he was underweight and badly beaten up by another cat. He was afraid of everything at first. We've had him now for two months and he is fully healthy, happy, playful and very affectionate. He loves to give kisses. He has some separation anxiety that will likely go away once he is with a forever family. He is obsessed with food (understandably) but that means you cannot just leave too much food out for him. He is very resilient and has an easy temperament. He gets along with our cats and dog but needs someone who can give him all the attention he needs. We already have four pets with special needs--leaving little time for Cricket. He needs to be an indoor-only cat unless he goes out on a leash.

Story

Pele is 5 years old. She was born on 4/19/2019. She is a sweet baby who is mostly aloof. She likes to mind her business during the day, but when she cuddles, she is the best and really gets in on the snuggles. I'm looking for a home that can love her, keep her safe, and that will keep her as part of their family for the foreseeable future. I want someone who is committed, because this girl has the most precious heart and she deserves so much!

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

We are looking for a household with few cats for our 3 year old tuxedo. • Brought him in as a stray in 2021 • Friendly and non-aggressive towards humans • Very curious and sneaky. Loves running through any interior door you open. • Likes to play and roughhouse • Not very cuddly but likes being pet once he gets to know you • Can be a bit of a bully to other cats, which is why we’re rehoming him. He doesn’t do well with female cats for the most part. • He might do well in a household with an older male cat since he was real close to our 16 y/o male before he passed away, or in a single cat household with lots of enrichment. • Has a female littermate who we are also rehoming • Appreciates company • Picky eater but loves treats Overall I just want to make sure he goes to the best home for him!

Story

<p> We are looking for a household with one to no cats for our 3 year old tuxedo. • Brought her in as a stray in 2021 • Loves to chat. Can carry a conversation once she warms up to you and shakes her tail excitingly while doing so. • Does NOT like to be touched but if you're patient, she might let you pat her. • Dosn't get along with other cats very well. Most suited for a single cat household. Right now she lives with several. • Independent and low-maintenance when she's relaxed and not stressed. Lately she has been hiding from her brother (also listed here) and a male kitten in the household which is unfortunately why we have to rehome her. • Very shy around people she doesn't know and new environments, so she might take a while to get settled in • A little bit of an attitude and free spirit but overall a sweet lady deep down I want to make sure she finds her forever home that she can thrive in! </p>

Dustin

American Shorthair

Male, Adult

Lewisville, TX

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Dustin, a 2 to 3-year-old aprox, showed up unexpectedly at my sister's house one day. He's a good boy, very sweet, and seems to have been an indoor cat before becoming homeless on the streets. Unfortunately, my sister already has two elderly cats, so she can't keep Dustin inside. This leaves him vulnerable to attacks from feral cats, dogs, and other dangers. Before his surgery, Dustin was attacked by another cat, resulting in several wounds, scratches, and bites. He also has two puncture wounds, which led both me and the vets to believe a dog may have attacked him while he was living on the streets. On Monday, October 21, Dustin was neutered at the Spay Neuter Society, and while his tests came back FLV-negative, he tested positive for FIV, meaning he'll need special care. Unfortunately, I can't take care of him because I'm currently staying at my sister's house, and she was initially reluctant to let him in. However, I convinced her to let Dustin stay for a week during his recovery.

Story

Meet the best cats ever, Jinx and Everest! They are 4 year old litter mates and the best of pals. Our family has to move in with family and unfortunately can not take the cats. This is truly heartbreaking as Jinx and Everest are so sweet and loving. They love to snuggle. Jinx (black and white) is so playful but also loves to cuddle while Everest (white and gray) is more laid back and loves to pound with someone in the couch, bed or chair. Would love to keep them together since they are so close.

Details

Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Nyssa is a total sweetheart! I have known her since she was a kitten, as she was my friend's cat initially. She’s loyal, vocal at mealtimes, loves to sit in your lap, and purrs when you pet her. She’s been my work from home companion for almost three years now. I adopted her from a friend who had gotten married, and when she moved in with her husband and his bull terrier, the cat was always frightened. So I decided to adopt her. She loves to keep me company by sleeping on my desk or underneath, by my feet. She’s gentle, playful, and quite curious. Due to my travel schedule, I am needing to find her a new forever home so that she is not on her own the majority of the time.
