Story
Mini is 14 years old and still acts youthful. Unfortunately, my son has developed allergies. Note: I would be willing to pay the person who adopts her $500 to cover the cost of food for the remainder of her life. While she is generally well house trained, she occasionally pees outside of her litter box if it has not been cleaned in a while.

Story
Richie (neutered) (8 months old) is a very social and entertaining kitty ready to spread lots of love and laughter in a new home. Unfortunately I have developed cat allergies and have not had luck curing them, Richie loves people, belly rubs, being held like a baby and purring, getting brushed, toys that rattle or crinkle, and climbing (happy to include his hammock or cat tree for free). He is very food motivated and will surprise you with how smart he is if food is involved. Although I am sad to see him go this social butterfly is already looking forward to meeting his next owner!

Story
Jem is a beautiful, sweet, smart ten year old kitty. He is healthy and loves to play with other cats, toys, and snuggle up next to you for pets. I have had him since he was a kitten, and it breaks my heart to give him up. He is currently indoor/outdoor. Unfortunately, Jem is also a very anxious boy, and he demonstrates that by peeing outside his litter box. We can't accommodate him in our home any more, and are looking for someone who has outdoor cats that could bring him on - perhaps a farm? Happy to answer any questions.

Dennis is a sweet and affectionate one-year-old cat who loves being around people and soaking up attention. He has a playful side, often entertaining himself with toys or exploring his surroundings, but his favorite moments are spent snuggling up in a cozy spot near his humans. Dennis is curious and smart, always eager to engage with those around him. We’re looking for a loving home that can give him the attention and care he deserves, where his gentle and loving personality can truly shine.

Story
Is anyone interested in adopting a very sweet older cat? Sophie is 13 years old, and she’s been part of our family since she was a kitten. It’s been a difficult adjustment for her since the arrival of our daughter in March. We plan on moving across the country in the next year or so, and I just don’t think she would tolerate the move well. All of this being said, I think it would be in her best interest to find a new living home. Sophie is a very people-oriented, cuddly cat. You never have to wonder where she is — she is always where the people are 😊. Sophie is very well trained to use the little box and has never had an accident. She has no active health issues, but she has had bladder stones in the past so she is on medicated food for the rest of her life (we tried to transition her off a couple years ago and the stones returned). Sophie does NOT get along well with other animals and would do best in a home with older children or no children. When we go out of town I always have a

Story
Fifi was born in June of 2015, so she is almost 9 years old. She is a very sweet girlie. She is playful and loves to be the boss of the house. Important to note: Fifi had an autoimmune disorder (hemolytic anemia) that popped out when she was about 4 years old. This is where her body attacks her red blood cells basically. She had to have a feeding tube in to survive, and still almost died. She was quite timid prior to this whole event, but after she made it through (and has not been sick since), she came back to normal after a few months, and lives life to the fullest! She owns whatever space she is in. This disease will hopefully remain in remission, but there is no guarantee. We feel safe adopting her out at this point since it has been in remission this long. She really deserves a loving home of her very own. She cannot have flea meds applied or have regular vaccines, so she must remain a fully indoor cat, without the exposure of other animals that go in and out that could allow for flea exposure. She can't come into contact with chemical bug sprays, even if they are pet safe (as this is one suspicion of what may have originally caused the disorder to pop out). She is beyond amazing and has such a personality that she is well worth the extra precautions! She does not always like to be picked up, she will kick her back legs sometimes, but she loves to lay by you and follow you around. She usually does not get along with other cats, but she does do well with one kitty she has been around for a long time-Sebastian, so we are listing them as a bonded pair... but they can go separately as well. She does ok with smaller, calm dogs, but not larger or more energetic ones. Fifi is spayed, but due to her auto immune disease cannot have other vaccines. Her adoption fee is $300.

I am writing to introduce Nene, a beautiful and playful domestic short hair cat that I adopted from Craigslist. She is almost 1 year old. Nene is a lovely feline companion who loves to play, cuddle, and explore her surroundings. Nene is an absolute delight to be around. She is always up for a game of chase, loves to curl up in laps, and enjoys snuggling up in cozy spots. Her curious nature and playful antics bring endless joy and laughter to those around her. Unfortunately, I discovered I have allergy to cats since she is my first cat. As much as I adore her, my allergies make it impossible for me to continue caring for her. I am looking for a family who will love Nene and keep her forever.

Story
Ginger is a female ginger tabby cat who had been in our family for 7 years. She has grown up with her sister, but they are increasingly fighting. We’ve come to the conclusion that it would be better to separate them. She is a beautiful girl who likes to cuddle (on her terms of course). We think she’s be best in a home where she can be the center of attention, without other pets or kids. Or a with experienced cat lover.

Story
I brought Franklin home from a friend of a friend who had a litter of kittens, and due to his living circumstances with that person (already separated from the mama cat), I took him home at 6 weeks old. I believe since he was so young, he grew separation anxiety as he was very attached to me and does not like to be alone. He is 4 years old now and I live alone and work full time, and he appears to be understimulated, bored, lonely, causing behavioral issues despite adopting a second cat while he was a kitten and trying my best to provide stimulating activities for the two while Im at work. He gets aggressive with the 2nd cat, and starts getting into things (eating garbage, plastic, etc) out of boredom. I believe he needs a home where people are more present. He is VERY cuddly and sweet, loves to lay on you and make biscuits and be by your side, really enjoys human companions. I just want him to be happy and healthy, and my heart aches realizing I just may not be the best fit for him.

Story
Thank you for reading!: This is Soap, she is 4 yrs old. I love her with all my heart, so it pains me to say that my family and I have been experiencing extreme financial instability for the past year. We have far too many animals to begin with and now can no longer afford many of their needs so for their sakes, we are looking to rehome. Soap is an amazing cat! She has however, been visibly stressed out by the other cats in the household. She is also mildly overweight, and has a sensitive stomach. A home with one or less cats is ideal for her needs!

Sludge (2yrs) is a very energetic and spunky cat! He loves to play with the laser pointer and is a sucker for a catnip toy. He also loves to hang out on your back or shoulders! My family has been struggling for the past year since we moved from another state, so we sadly are no longer in a financial position to meet all of his needs.
