Story
Penny is a 2 year old domestic shorthair and was adopted from the Humane society as a kitten. She is curious and loving. She is good with dogs as we foster puppies and has never had an issue. I moved in with my girlfriend who has a dog door for the fosters to use and Penny has figured it out as of 6 months ago. She had not been an outdoor cat previously but as of late has shown off her hunting and gathering skills. This has caused us to close her off to our basement and I believe she deserves better than that, and would be a great addition to any home!

Story
Hi, My name is Miley. My current mommy got me the day she moved into her own place back in July 2021. I've been spoiled ever since. I was the only child in the house. I got to sleep in the bed, play all day, and watch tv. But mom got busy with work and then suddenly got me a sibling. A dog sister that I didn't ask for. While my favorite thing is to sit in the window and sun bathe, I'm no fan of my sister and can't stand her. I asked mom if I could move out as I'm about 4 years old now. As much as mom doesn't want me to, she gave me the thumbs up to find a new home that is just right for me. Hope to meet my new parents soon!

Story
Hi! Vern is a 4 year old male cat whom we adopted in october. We have a cat with some special needs and he has unfortunately not been able to interact with her in a safe way. She has been locked in a room for a couple months, and we have now noticed our young male cat copying this behavior. unfortunately we don’t have the time or resources to reintroduce all of our animals, and get them any behavior therapy they may need. This decision has been hard to make but is unfortunate needed for our family. he is an absolute lover he likes to cuddle and rub your legs. his weakness is food he would do anything for some wet food. he would be a perfect cat in a single pet household, the more human interaction the better!

Story
Dad was found with his girlfriend and two kittens in an unsafe area by S IH-35. He got along well with his girlfriend and kittens, but they were scooped up and found homes. Dad was fixed and put back on the streets before anyone noticed how friendly he was! A nice human stepped in and noticed his health was deteriorating outside and had no constant source of food or water. He was taken inside to focus on his health. Turns out, he LOVES being around people! Dad thinks toys are ok but prefers getting pets and sitting next to a loving human or snuggling at night! Although Dad tested positive for FIV (weakened immune system), FIV cats tend to have normal life spans when cared for and the majority never experience complications. FIV is only transmitted to other cats through blood transfusions and serious penetrating bite wounds. FIV cannot be transmitted to humans or other animals. Dad would be the healthiest as an indoor cat but a bonus to have access to an enclosed outdoor space.

Story
Do you like personal space? Do you want your cat to be like a room mate you never talk to? This is not the cat for you. CT is a Velcro cat, he wants to be involved with you and what you’re doing all the time. That’s not to say he won’t snuggle up beside you or entertain himself once he’s satisfied you’re doing a good job at whatever boring human stuff you’re doing, but he wants to supervise to make sure at first! He helps with laundry, is quite talkative and despite that gruff face he absolutely adores people and being loved on. CT is very laid back, practically unflappable. He doesn’t mind vacuums, dogs, other cats, storms, cars backfiring or anything. I don’t think I’ve seen him startled ever. He’s so amazingly adaptable and I think he’d make an excellent travel buddy. Okay, now the caveat - CT is FIV+ which means he should be an only cat, housed with other FIV+ cats or have siblings that won’t fight him for lap space. No other health issues, expect him to live a long full life!

Percy is 5 months (born September 2). He's a very sweet, loving, and affectionate boy. He's playful (climbing & parkour apparently lol), fairly verbal. Loves to cuddle & be with his brother. I would prefer to keep them together, but he'd be okay with his person or with a friend!

Story
Lily is a 3 year old American Shorthair all white female. She came to us by a friend and unfortunately, we are unable to keep her. She has been spayed, declawed in the front, and is up to date on all shots/vaccinations with annual vet visits. Lily is a shy and quiet adult cat who loves to cuddle and is good with kids, adults (male and female) and other cats. We are hoping to find a loving home to take her and make her part of the family. She is microchipped and we will provide all of her shot/vet records.

Pallas is sweet and loving. I adopted her about 3 years ago, but I’m renting and my landlord won’t allow a pet. She’s great with my mom’s two smaller dogs and cat - we lived in the home with them for two years and she loved hanging out with the dogs! She likes to be held and will cuddle up with you on the sofa. She’s vocal and likes to have chats, which makes her great company for a single person. She’s well behaved, litter trained and not a scratcher.
