Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I've had Nina for a few years now, she was rehomed with us after her previous owner died. She's a good cat, but ever since the end of last year she's been having behavioral issues. At first, I thought she might have a medical condition, and I do suspect she might be pre-diabetic, but I've turned that around with changing up her diet to just proteins and lots of water, and she's fine now. While she was sick though, I live in an apartment complex, and when she was sick she was messing on our carpet, and she's potty trained so I knew that was off, but now that she's better she's still doing it and it seems she's doing it to be spiteful. I work full time and go to school so I'm gone a lot, and I don't know if she's acting out because I'm not here a lot anymore, but unfortunately, I can no longer care for her properly. She needs an owner who can give her more attention and time. Again, she's a good cat, I just can't care for her the way she needs me to.

Story
I found zayda at my school with her 3 siblings when she was just 3 week old, And I took her in. Now she is 5 months and letting her go is so hard. She’s a silly cat, but so cute too. Recently my brother has been sick nonstop, and when my mom took him to the doctor she found out that he’s allergic to cats and that’s the reason he’s been sick. As much as it hurts I know I have to let her go and I hope she goes to a good family! She loves to travel and to be outside but to whoever keeps her I ask to let her sleep in doors! She’s never been outside without supervision ( although she loves running outside whenever we have the door open) she loves stealing food and attacking your feet then running to hide. I hope whoever wants her has experience and will love and treat her very good.

Story
This is my love, Phoebe. I rescued her when she was only 3 weeks old. She is my foster fail. She’s a sweet girl. She can be feisty when she is stressed out but loves to be held. She has grown up around smaller dogs and are okay with them. She will tolerate other cats as long as she has somewhere to escape from them when she is tired of them. The other cat on my page is the only other cat that she has been know to get a long with, so if someone is able to take her together that would be great but she would do great as an only cat as well. It saddens me to post this but I am away a lot and she is alone during that time. She deserves a household that could give her the attention and the life she deserves. She is due for vaccines in a few weeks. I can take care of that if needed. She is already spayed. Please let me know if you would be interested in giving my love the life she deserves

Story
She was born in our home shortly after we took in her mother (stray cat). She has only been in doors and does well around people (adults and kids). She is 1 year old. I would love for her, her mother (Bobbie) and her sister (Marilyn) go to a loving home that can cherish them. She loves to play with cat toys and is full of energy. 😊
