Churchill is a sweet boy who likes to play with his toys - especially at night. He is friendly but independent like most Brits. Doesnt like to be picked up or held but will give you a nice little rub to your legs. Good eater and a very healthy cat. No litter issues. Will turn 8 in May. Church came from a reputable breeder in Allentown, PA. If you're so inclined to bring home 2 for one, see my other British Shorthair, Pippa!

Story
Pippa is a beautiful cream colored British Shorthair. She is affectionate when she wants to be but like most Brits does not like to be picked up or held No known health issues. A little difficult to trim her nails- front nails she'll let you, back ones she won't. She doesn't like to be brushed so taking her to the vet is best when shaving out any matted hair. Eats well - fancy feast and Purina one + indoor advantage kibble. Uses the litter box. Pippa comes from reputable British Shorthair breeder in Allentown, PA

Story
Meet Bubby, a 3-year-old male cat with a distinctive coat of white fur with black splotches that give him a charming, unique look. Weighing in at a solid 15 pounds, Bubby is a loving, affectionate cat whos guaranteed to bring energy, charm, and personality into any home. Whether you're an adult or have children in the family, Bubby is wonderful with everyone and loves being part of the daily hustle and bustle. He was found abandoned near a hotel and now is looking for his fur-ever home.While he may take a little time to warm up to dogs, Bubbys patient nature shines throughespecially with calm and gentle senior dogs like his 12-year-old canine companion. After a week or so, hes comfortable sharing space and adapting to his new home.Bubby is a fan of attention, but he knows when it's time for a break. He enjoys being held and petted but prefers short cuddle sessions before continuing his playful adventures. Hes not picky about where he hangs out, content to relax in any room of the house, as long as he has a comfy spot to curl up. Evenings are his favorite time to play, and hes especially enthusiastic when his toys are involved.

Story
Goldaline or Goldie or Goldie boi or Fat Boi etc. is a very sweet two year old, cow-colored feline. He is not gold, and despite his unfortunate mustache, is a lover of all humans who provide food and pets. He was wandering around our apartment complex for a very long time. We lured him into our apartment to see if he was chipped or belonged to anyone. No chip, and no owner was found. He was clearly well-loved by someone at some point, as he loves to cuddle and just be near people. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and in perfect health. We absolutely adore him, but ss much as we wish we could be his forever home, my cat Cecilia comes first. As they were just starting to show signs of relaxation around each other, she saw him playfully swipe at me and thought he was on the attack. This caused her to launch herself at him with intent to end his life. Ever since then, she has wanted him off this planet. Please consider adopting this wonderful giant beast.
