Story
Rosie is about 11 years old and we have had her 8 years now. We have to rehome her due to her behavior getting worse most likely due to us having a new baby. She started eliminating outside of the box more when I was pregnant, specifically eliminating in areas only I sat in, and now she has started going right outside the box sometimes. Anytime we have taken her to the vet, they say her health is great and they don't know why she's doing it. She also does not have most of her teeth, and she had been losing them even before we adopted her almost 8 year ago. She is very attention demanding a lot of the time, once she is okay with you. She can be incredibly skittish and scared at first. Once she gets to know you, she loves pets, to snuggle and belly rubs. She is incredibly docile. She is an indoor only cat. She is an absolute sweetheart and we have loved having her as a part of our family and doing this absolutely breaks our hearts and was the hardest decision we have had to make.

Story
I got my cat Cleo off person that posted through Facebook about her cat having kittens and immediately knew I had to get her because she was a spitting image of my childhood cat who had passed. She was born on November 20th 2023 and I brought her home January 20th. She was the most energetic kitty who kept you up all night because she loved to play with feet and do zoomies. Another reason I got a cat was because I'm unable to get a dog to me being severely allergic. Recently I have been becoming more allergic to my cat and with her being long haired shedding doesn't make it easier. Now that Cleo has gotten older she's not as hyper/energetic as she was when she was a baby so she does prefer a more chill environment. She doesn't like to be pet continuously because she will get annoyed and try to bite/scratch. She is very to herself but loves to cuddle as long as you don't pet her too much. She is our very special girl and we love her so much hoping to find someone to love her too.

Story
I am seeking a temporary home for my two bonded cats due to a family member's severe asthma attacks. Both cats are 1.5 years old and have grown up in a lively home filled with children, so they are very comfortable around kids. They are deeply attached to each other, so it is essential that they remain together. While they do not have experience with other animals, they are incredibly affectionate and social with people. I will provide all necessary supplies, including food, litter boxes, and litter. I would also love the opportunity to visit them regularly. I love them deeply and I can’t give them up for adoption. I will most likely take them back next year.
