Story
This is Bella - she is a sweet cat, loves to cuddle up next to you and purr. She is about 12 years old and has a sister Gracie. We would love for both to be adopted together. Both have been a part of our family for about 10 years. Bella is an indoor only cat. She is littler box trained, microchipped and has her claws. She is a good, quite and friendly cat (once she gets to know you). She will start off shy and uncertain, but show her some love, give her some brushing or head rubs and she will be your friend for sure. We are looking for a home for Bella (and Gracie if possible) because of a marriage and a move to a new home with someone with allergies.

Story
Gracie (Grace) is a female cat about 12 years old, she and her adopted sister (Bella) have been a part of our family for about 10 years. She is a sweet cat, very quite. Loves head rubs (but only on her terms! ;-) and she enjoys staring out the windows. Grace has her claws, a microchip and is litterbox trained. Grace is an indoor only cat. Please do not let her outside. Due to a recent marriage and a move to a home with allergies, we cannot keep Grace. We want her to have a loving home (and hopefully with Bella.

Sylvia is the sweetest cat, loves attention, even from my 2 yr old grandchild. I have had her about 9yrs as a rescue. Loves to go outside to wander the yard, always comes back. I have developed allergies to my cat, and along with xxxx@xxxx.x of pink eye! She will be happier if she could sleep with me, but I can't handle it. She is not afraid of dogs. When she goes outside, I can call her, and she comes running!

Story
** Contact us at yourfriendlypaws@yahoo.com **Oliver is a beautiful maine coon mix kitty about 2 years old. He is a friendly boy who loves attention. He plays with his toys and enjoys sitting on the cat tree to watch the birds. He was rescued as a stray that came to a lady’s property. No one claimed him after a month of being posted so the lady that had him could no longer care for him. He was not claimed after a month. Now, that he has been neutered, is combo tested and FIV positive, has his rabies and distemper shot, dewormed, flea medication and microchip. Would the FIV status deter adopters from giving Oliver a second chance to find a new family that would cherish him? Also, Being FIV-positive means that the cat has antibodies that have been exposed to the virus, although it can take years, if ever, before the cat develops any FIV infection and clinical signs referred to as Feline AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome of Cats). If a cat has FIV, it does not necessarily have Feline AIDS. FIV is only contagious among cats and difficult to transmit. It is also slow-acting, so cats generally do not show any symptoms until years after being infected. They can live a normal long life and another non FIV kitties if the cat is not aggressive. Please e-mail Yourfriendlypaws@gmail.com to inquire and/or receive an adoption application for the cat that you are interested in adopting to start the process then once is completed we can arrange for you to meet him The adoption fee includes spay/neuter, FELV/FIV test, vaccinations, deworming, rabies, (age permitting).
