Story
Rehoming Two Very Affectionate Cats I am faced with the difficult decision of finding a new home for my two sweetheart cats. They are two years old and from the same litter. Healthy, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccines. Due to financial circumstances, I am moving in with my family, where there is a dog that is aggressive towards cats. To ensure their safety and well-being, I am seeking a kind, safe, and loving home where they can continue to thrive together. Please see the attached photos. If you are interested in providing a forever home for Moose and Bao, or if you know of someone who might be, please reach out to me at the email provided. Your kindness and assistance in spreading the word are greatly appreciated. Gratefully, Isabel

Story
Boots is an incredibly loving, high-energy boy. This spirited guy was living on the streets of Baltimore for his first few months of life before I rescued him. From the outset, he was the sweetest - and most playful - cat I've met. In the over two years I've had him, he's never hissed at me, and loves to sleep under a blanket by my feet - or on them. He's spent a lot of time with a couple golden retrievers, who are his best friends, so he typically can be good with dogs (or get accustomed to them). Boots has a lot of energy and loves being around people; he should go to a home with someone who can play with him and keep him entertained.

Story
Are you an introvert? Love reading books or watching a movie with a cuddle buddy on your lap? If so, this is your guy! Sassafras Swirl is an introvert too. He arrived at my door in November 2023. He was emaciated and wasn't going to make it. I started feeding him, fell in love with him, and brought him inside. He was clearly a former housecat. Sassafras had a PU (perineal urethrostomy) surgery in December 2024. That, along with a prescription diet and being separated from my other cats, seems to have fully resolved his FLUTD (feline lower urinary tract disease) issues. I have 3 cats and he is bullied by one of them. I've "tried it all" and there is no resolving it. For his health, I keep him separated, but it breaks my heart. He would love a home of his own with no other pets or kids. He has made huge strides in the past year! He's a shy, low energy guy, with anxiety who would love a pet parent who can relate, and give him time and space to come out of his shell even more.
