Mylah

American Shorthair

Female, Young

Vancouver, WA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Mylah is a playful and loving kitty and does best with an owner who loves cuddles. Mylah has resided with both cats and dogs and does well with both. Mylah can be shy when meeting new people but quickly warms up. Mylah's favorite past times are cuddling with her favorite humans, taking naps in her own hammock, and playing with fluffy catnip toys. This has been a very emotional process for me as I have had Mylah since she was a kitten. I am relocating out of town for employment and am unable to take her with. I want Mylah to go to a home that will be patient with her during this transition. She is a great pet, but has never been rehomed so this is new to us.

Story

Toby is his legal name, he was my wife's ESA animal way back when. She nicknamed him Chunks because he's a Chunky boi and it stuck. Very spoiled bc of my wife but she passed away last year and I took him in as my ESA animal. Now I see I barely have time and energy to properly take care of him and tend to him as she used to, I just wish to give him a proper home that he deserves.

Artemis

American Shorthair

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Artemis was rescued from an unfortunate situation where she was kept in a cage under a tarp on the street in an encampment. She is a very affectionate and social girl! She is very comfortable around all people, other cats, and dogs. She is very gentle and loves to play and climb! Artemis would do very well in an environment where she can have plenty of enrichment and indoors only. She would do just fine as a solo cat, and she would also do very well in a home with other animals.

Details

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

Story

I don’t know her breed. She is about a year old. She is very cute and cuddly, but also has an attitude, so she needs an owner who will be okay with that. I had to move in with my parents again to save on rent, and she is not loving living with their dog and cat. They put up with each other, but she definitely wants to be the alpha, and is not nice to the other pets. It would be ideal if the new owners don’t have other cats or dogs. She did really well when it was just my husband and I in the house, but she is not loving having more people around now either. But even with all of that, we were making it work, but soon we are going to have a baby around the house, and she does not do well with children. I am scared she will bite or scratch the kids, and that’s not worth it to risk it. So I would not recommend her to go to a home that will have children around. She also absolutely loves being outside. She loves climbing trees and stalking through plants.

Story

Mary is very playful, inquisitive, and vocal. She loves to talk to humans. Unfortunately she doesn’t get along with our other cat (her litter mate) or our dog. She would live her best life in a petless home, with someone or multiple someones who are often home (retired, works from home, multi-person household). Likes a good back scratch and her “Da Bird” toy. 3 years old.

American Shorthair

Male, Adult

Details

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

Story

We adopted this beautiful, friendly boy in December of 2022. I found out shortly thereafter that I was pregnant. During my pregnancy, Andie was the sweetest companion. He is a lap cat by nature and ALWAYS wants to be near you! He loves pets and playing. He eagerly greets visitors. However, when I brought my twins home in September of 2023, I could tell that Andie was stressed. He wasn't getting as much attention and the constant noise of babies led him to start over-grooming. I wanted to give him a full year to see if he might adapt; however, he is still over-grooming and has begun to demonstrate redirected aggression. Andie never had any behavioral issues before my children were born. I believe he would be an incredible cat for a home where people are typically present (work from home) and would do well with much older children who can be gentle and even play with him.

Midge

American Shorthair

Female, Senior

Portland, OR

Size

(when grown) -

Details

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

Story

Midge has been with my other cat Lucky and me since she was a few weeks old. They may be a bonded pair, but I am unsure. Midge might be okay as an only cat if she is attached to her human. She is incredibly affectionate and cuddly with me, but otherwise aloof and observant. She hides and avoids loud noise and chaos and hasn’t gotten along with other cats except for Lucky, whom she plays, sleeps/cuddles, and fully shares everything with. Her play style is less of the zoomies and more hunter-style (lasers, pouncing, etc.) She doesn’t talk much but her purr is amazing. She is most content in a good window spot, soaking up any sunshine.
