Good with kids, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
He’s approximately 5–7 years old, white and gray, and came to me as what appeared to be a stray. I took him in, nursed him back to health, had him neutered. He got a dental cleaning and had some teeth pulled, and he’s now thriving. He’s been living on my porch as an outdoor cat for over three months, and has transitioned to being an indor/outdoor cat where he has a heated house and plenty of cozy spots, and he’s been so happy and content. Scruffy is docile, affectionate, and incredibly sweet. When I let him inside, he uses the litter box perfectly, eats and drinks well, and loves nothing more than cuddling and being held. He’s very social, does great in the car in fact loves looking outside, and truly is the best little companion. I would keep him forever if I could, but I have two resident cats who are not adjusting well now that he’s healthy tho he loves them. He deserves to be the star of the show, as he didn’t have an easy life and has adjusted so well. He even follows commands.

Story
This 3-yr-old sweet, but slightly sassy, snugglebug is looking for her forever home where she can be loved & adored as the pampered princess she is. She was found in the backyard, but it quickly became obvious that this was a indoor kitty at heart with lots of love to give to her preferred humans (unfortunately, we already have 3 indoor cats of our own, and can't keep her). She's a little nervous around new people still, but has been gaining confidence and learning to be brave. Her favorite activities are snuggling by her human's side, watching birds through the window (but no more being outside with them, thank you very much!), and getting treats. She's learning how to play, and has discovered balls that go round & fuzzy toys that move - what fun! She may be okay with other adult cats, as long as they're mellow and not in-her-face types, but kittens & other high strung females are probably not a good fit. Adoption fee will go to support the Homeless Cat Network.

Story
Beanie was a stray. She came to our home and was attracted to our birds (though we'd never actually let her play with them for obvious reasons). We have other cats in the home, so we advise slowly introducing them to each other through closed doors to get them used to each other. Beanie is a very talkative girl! Very sweet and very cute. When we took her in, we had all her shots updated. Beanie is currently 7 months old. We aren't able to afford anymore cats in the home, so we have to put her up for adoption. I hope whoever adopts her will spend some quality time with her. She loves climbing, so I hope they also have places to climb, as well as places to hide. I put unknown for "good with other cats" since she's young, so I can't say she's up for playing around with older cats until she's at least bigger and 1 years. She does get nervous during car rides.
