Story
If you're looking for a cat with personality, look no further than Margot. This one-year-old calico has never met a stranger and believes everyone is a potential new best friend. She's curious, outgoing, and always has something to say, so be prepared for plenty of adorable conversations! Margot is FIV+, but that doesn't slow her down one bit. Cats with FIV can live long, normal lives, and Margot is proof that a diagnosis doesn't define a cat's spirit.

Story
Callie is a fabulous cat, a 5 year old calico, adopted from the Animal Rescue League. She is very affectionate, quite the snuggle pot, loves to lap sit and likes to be where her person is. She is very playful and loves her toys. She is strictly an indoor cat. While she likes people, I do not know how she would be with small children. She does not like the presence of other cats. While she does not fight with my cats, she does chase and pounce on them. She should be rehomed in a home with no other cats. She does not scratch furniture, but loves a good scratching post. Shedding is minimal. She would be a good cat for someone who has recently lost their pet, as she is great company and likes to be near people. I am heartbroken, to give her up, but I have a disabled cat, with three legs, who I believe had been priorly abused. Callie like to pounce on her and the disabled cat is scared of her to the point she had begun chewing on her own leg until it is bloody and losing her fur.

Story
ChChiChi has been with me and my family from two months old. She is now five years old and at the time that I did not think my 3-Month-Old son would be autistic come to find out I have two autistic children that take up most of my time. Im looking to get her a batter because she lives out of my room. She refuses to come out of my room. Now that the boys are older, my house is loud and I think she would do better in a quiet home. She has been around cats and dogs but wants nothing to do with them. She's also missing her back leg due to her umbilical cord was wrapped around her leg and was removed when she was only a day old. She gets around fine. I would prefer a house that had more carpeting just to give her the stability from walking. She is very loving and likes to cuddle and make biscuits, she is a very easy going cat, just likes her privacy. But once I sit down she's all over me and wants affection. She really doesn't play with toys, just likes to watch the birds.
