Story
**BONDED PAIR** Oliver (Light orange Tabby) and MJ (Tortoise shell) are a bonded adult pair of cats. Oliver loves pets and cuddles but is very shy at first. MJ is an anxious cat that enjoys her own space but can be affectionate when she’s comfortable. They are spayed/neutered and have all of their shots! My partner and I are moving and cannot bring them with us, so sadly we have to rehome them. A perfect home would be with no dogs and no children (They haven’t been around children but they are both shy/anxious) and a calm home. They are both litter box trained and are not aggressive. They need a loving home and a calm environment to flourish.

Story
“Hi! I’m Phineas. I love people and pets, and quick to warm up. I’m a huge weirdo, very silly, energetic, & psyched to be alive.Things I like: zoomies, cuddling closely, people and pets, all toys, helping with household tasks aka supervising.Things I do not like: loneliness, and the vacuum.”We are rehoming because our older blind cat is not adjusting to a new housemate, while Phineas is eager to make friends.He is 2 years old, neutered, flea/tick treated, chipped, recent check-up, and holds a Fetch Pet Insurance policy (paid off until December). He was found in poor condition, and is now very healthy and happy. He’ll be bringing his litterbox and toys with him.The adoption fee reflects this. I am open to negotiation, for the right home.Needed to adopt:- time and energy for a very loving boy- a home with plenty of companionship and other small, friendly occupants- update his vaccines in 1 yearPlease inquire to help us find P. Cat a warm, welcoming home!💙

Story
Cookie is a calm, sweet, and endlessly curious cat who loves guests, never bites, and makes “biscuits” daily. She’s always up for a snack (or three) and will happily shake her paw, sit, and turn on command, provided you pay her in treats. With her gentle nature, playful curiosity, and charming personality, Cookie will bring love, laughter, and plenty of biscuit-making to her new home. Oh and she Purrs a lot!!

Story
Meet Sido 🐾 Sido is a 4-year-old sweet, relaxed boy with the perfect mix of independent and cuddly. He loves playing with toys, lounging around, and making biscuits on soft blankets. He’s also VERY vocal—you can genuinely have a whole conversation with him. 😂 Sido’s favorite thing is being included in whatever his people are doing. Folding laundry? He’s helping. Working on the computer? He’s there. Looking over blueprints? Apparently he’s qualified for that too. 😂 He loves being part of the action and makes an adorable little supervisor. Sido is bonded with his buddy Captain and they would love to find a home together. ❤️ He’d be perfect for someone looking for an affectionate, playful companion with lots of personality who genuinely wants to be part of the family.
