Rehoming Bonded Pair of Sweet Adult Cats (sister & brother) Looking for Loving Home. I’m looking to rehome my two adult cats as I prepare for an out-of-state move in July. They are a bonded pair and must stay together—they are very attached and do best as companions.About them:• Adult cats 7 years young• Indoor cats• Litter trained• Friendly, affectionate, and used to a home environment• Great with people but shy at firstHealth note (important for transparency):Reba (calico) was diagnosed with feline leukemia (FeLV) as a kitten, but later she tested negative. I do not have a recent test, so I recommend if you are concerned to check with your veterinarian if you have other cats. Because of this history, they may be best suited for:• A home without other cats, OR• An experienced cat ownerLooking for:A stable, loving home that will keep them together and give them the attention they deserve. Supplies includedRehoming fee: Small fee to ensure a serious and committed adopter.

Story
Meet Rupert – Your Future Cuddle Companion 🐾Rupert is a 12-year-old sweetheart with a gentle soul and a heart full of love. I adopted him as a kitten during my senior year of college, and he’s been a loyal companion ever since.He loves head scratches and long, calming pet sessions, and once he’s comfortable, he’ll happily curl up beside you for quiet companionship. Rupert can be shy and a bit skittish at first, but with patience, his affectionate and devoted nature truly shines.He would do best in a calm, low-stress home as the only pet**, where he can settle in at his own pace and feel safe. In return, you’ll gain a loving, loyal companion who will be by your side for years to come.litter box will be included with his adoption

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
We found him about 7 months ago been indoor ever since. He is a little shy at first until he gets to know you. Just looking for a good home for him. He's been raised around other cats, but we think he would do better if he was the only cat in the home, he is a love bug, once he gets to know you...

Story
🐾Bonded Sisters looking for their Furever Home🐾 I recently rescued these 2 sisters from a bad living situation after their owner abandoned them and they are in need of finding a loving, stable home together! They are bonded and have been through way too much to separate them.🤍🤍 They are about 1 years old and from the same litter. They have been indoor/outdoor kitties at an apartment complex. They are very sweet, loving and have playful personalities. They have been spayed. They are not up to date on vaccines. They are not microchipped. They get along with children and do ok around other cats. I am not sure how they are around other animals besides cats. They’ve had flea treatments, litter box trained, eat crunchies, soft food and drink water. They are healthy. Bonded pairs are something special. With a built-in best friend they keep each other entertained, comforted and happy. Any home would be incredibly lucky to welcome these two girls and let them keep doing life side-by-side.
