Story
Hello there, I'm Ms Bigglesworth, a worldly feline with a tale to tell. I've journeyed from Saudi Arabia, a place of mystery and wonder, to here, seeking a new beginning. I am sweet as honey and friendly as a morning sun. My curiosity knows no bounds, yet I carry a gentle touch. I have a mellow demeanor, but don't be fooled, I'm energetic and playful when the mood strikes. I'm smart, yet a bit shy, so it may take a moment for me to warm up to you. But once I do, we'll be the best of friends. Why should you adopt me? Well, I promise to be your faithful companion, your confidante, and your source of joy. I'll bring a touch of adventure to your life, and a whole lot of love. Very chatty Good with cats older kids If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.

Story
Xander is the sweetest boy cat I have ever met or owned! He loves his mom and thoroughly enjoys spending time with guests. He was born in a barn Feb 5th, 2023 and came to me April2023. He is very playful, curious and at times mischievous. He is a big boy, about 15lbs, and has a hard time playing gently with his older sister. He loves to cuddle up in a lap or wherever he can to be near you! He has never roamed outside but loves being on the balcony and I believe he would be a great indoor/outdoor cat. He has never been around any dogs, so I am not sure how that relationship would blossom, but he does love to play so a pet that is very active and close to his size or bigger might be a good match. I would like him to be in a home with an owner that loves to give/receive affection and where he has plenty of room to explore and play.

Story
Carly is a very sweet 15 year old lady. I have had her since she was 9 months old. She's been through a number of moves around the country and a few new doggy additions to the family. We are moving to Hawaii and unfortunately are not able to find a housing situation that will allow her to come along. I am also nervous about the impact a move of that sort will have on her health. While she is still a happy cat, at her most recent vet visit they discovered a heart murmur and the beginning signs of kidney disease. I would love for her to spend her golden years in a loving home with people that will spoil her. She has definitely slowed down as she aged and prefers to spend most of her time napping in the sun. She has lived with 3 small but high energy dogs for a few years, and isn't afraid to stand her ground and show who is boss. Please note, while currently located in Alexandria VA, after May 3rd she will be in Pittsburgh, PA for a time if not adopted before then.
