Story
Binxs is a very unique cat that marches to the beat of her own drum. Some days she will want to sit in your lap or cuddle and the rest she just likes to hang out and just exist in the world. She enjoys playing whether it’s with toys or other animals and sitting in window sills. She’s very friendly but does typically shy away from children to go into another room.

Story
Romeo showed up during a bitter winter. Initially, I thought she was male, thus her name. She is a very small cat, which I think is the result of malnourishment during development. Romeo has been with me about 5 yrs, and is fully grown but is very small. She is docile for the most part, unless she feels threatened, so a slow introduction to other cats and dogs is essential. Romeo acclimated to 2 sisters in our home, which took about 6 months total. Now those sisters are deceased, and she is currently my only inside/outside cat. When Romeo started coming around, it was clear that she had an extreme upper respiratory infection, which she will carry the rest of her life. About 2 years ago, a severe infection required a vet visit and a round of antibiotics, but once through with that, she bounced back very well. Romeo is playful and very social with humans. I am a Stage IV metastatic breast cancer patient, and need to rehome my cats before I can no longer care for them.

Story
Mr. Black was born in my yard with 2 brothers and a sister 8 yrs ago. I was able to trap and neuter and spay him, mother, sister, and one brother. He is a large, mostly white cat w/black spots, and has been an outside cat all of his life. I have insulated boxes for the 3 who remained with me, and have a heater inside a large shed, where they can stay inside their boxes near the heater, and come and go to the back yard as they like. Unfortunately, I am a Stage IV metastatic breast cancer patient, and I'm trying to rehome my cats before I get to the point that I can no longer care for them. Mr. Black is socialized to me, although he is still skittish around other people. I love on him every time I see him, and he comes to me wanting to be loved on. Separation and a slow introduction to other cats would be best. I feel he would be able to acclimate to other cats. I have an indoor/outdoor female cat that he has gotten used to being around, no longer considers her an outsider.

Story
Eddi is 4 years old. She was born on March 26, 2021. Eddi is a veryyy cuddly girl. She LOVES food and is extremely affectionate. She’s great with other cats but needs her own litter box. She does not like sharing a box. We’ve got 2 small children and she tolerates them lol. The reason we need to rehome her is due to lack of space and having small children around. There’s been occasions where our baby has tried to play with her and Eddi smacks her with her paw and scratches her. Unfortunately this has happened multiple times so it’s just a tough situation. If we had more space we would keep her, in an ideal world we’d like her to be temporarily housed until we find a bigger home. I would just love to see her go to a loving and caring home that will give her all the space and attention she needs.

Story
Love Bug is 8 years old, and was born in my yard, along with 2 brothers and a sister. I was able to trap and neuter and spay him, his mother, his sister and a brother. Love Bug has been an outside cat all of his life. I have insulated boxes for the three who remained with me, and have a heater inside of a large shed, where they can stay inside their boxes near the heater, and come and go to the back yard as they like. I tried to get them into a local no kill shelter when they were still kittens, but everyone was full. The local animal shelter now immediately euthanizes cats and dogs if they are owner surrendered. Unfortunately, I am a Stage IV metastatic breast cancer patient, and I'm trying to rehome my cats before I get to the point that I can no longer care for them. Love Bug has been in my house some, as well as in others' houses. He is sociable, loving, and very passive with other cats. I think he would adapt to home life well. Thank you.
