Story
This description for Korat (https://www.dailypaws.com/cats-kittens/cat-breeds/korat) is pretty accurate for Maggie. Maggie(16 years old) is a sweetie pie. She enjoys rubbing against plastic bags, lying in the sun/on soft anything/your lap/body, being in dark spaces, pets, and playing. If she meows at you, it's generally for the following: 1. She wants pets (Especially if there is a plastic bag she can rub against.) 2. Food, water, treats 3. Watch her roll around in the sunlight or on a soft blanket 4. Bedtime My ex wanted to save Maggie from the shelter and give her a place to spend her final years(we thought Maggie would pass away after 2-3 years, but she is still lively and probably has another 3-5 years). After we broke up, she could not take care of Maggie by herself, and I didn't want Maggie to go back to the shelter. Since I am moving, I can no longer care for Maggie. I'm trying to find someone who can give Maggie a better place than the shelter.

Story
I have had Monkey since she was born. Her mother is the other kitty in the pictures and her name is Moo Moo. I would like both of these beautiful, sweet, loving, cuddly and vocal cats to go to a new home together. I am currently pregnant and dealing with awful allergies to the kitties and haven’t been able to give them the love and attention they deserve. I have everything for them, and it would all go with them. They are the perfect cats for someone who has never had cats before because they are just the sweetest things ever and just want to be fed and loved on. Please reach out if you think you would be interested in giving these babies the home they deserve. I am so heartbroken to have to do this, but I just want the best for them and my baby that’s coming soon.

Trying to rehome my good boy, he is the most friendliest cuddliest cat you’ll ever meet. He will be 6 on April 28th, I have had him since he was about 8 weeks old. Unfortunately I can no longer keep him as my cat allergy got really bad after my second pregnancy and it has been difficult now on my third. I want him to go to a good home where he will be taken care of and loved.

Story
My elderly mother has to move from her home and as a result, needs to rehome her cat (I unfortunately can’t take her because my daughter has allergies). A few details about her: - about 5 years old (she was rescued a few years ago from a shelter, and the vet has estimated her current age at ~5) -she’s wonderful with kids! My toddler is rough with her, and the cat doesn’t seem to mind at all - she has a very sweet disposition - very calm, likes to lounge and roam around the house -she weighs around 12 lbs - we don’t think she would do well with dogs, so likely best if she’s a solo pet - she’s current on all her shots and annual vet visits.
