Story
Lucy is a 10-year-old mixed breed calico lady, a gentle snugglebug who likes to lay alongside you or in your lap once she gets to know you. She was adopted from a shelter as a "teenager" (young but past kittenhood) and has been a sweet companion to an elderly couple. She can be a bit timid at first in a new situation, and likes to have a dark place to hide while she gets the lay of the land, but she has been the dominant cat in her two-cat household and won't take long to show her queenly colors again. Her companion, Little Bit (who is a larger but more timid cat) is also going up for adoption at the same time. They can be adopted together or separately.

Story
Soul has been with me for a year but my allergies have gotten worse over time. He is a sweet, interactive and curious cat who is not shy at all as long as you have food. He would need to be with his brother Okra who is shy unlike Soul but very sweet once he knows you’re his person so he is definitely loyal and independent. They are an amazing duo but unfortunately my health is getting worse. I can provide you with a steel litter box, a huge bag of food for them and their litter house to help making the transition easier for everyone.

Story
Rukia was adopted with her brother about 6 years ago. After 4 years of coexisting peacefully she started really disliking her brother resulting in routine fighting and stress between the two. After almost two years we've decided it is in her best interest to be able to find a home where she can live peacefully without the daily stress she is under here. She lived with a dog for the first few years of her life and was comfortable, when visitors bring dogs she just makes herself scarce. She was very loving with her brother until their physical interactions turned negative. She will spend a lot of time purring on your lap and nearby once she bonds with you but does not enjoy being picked up. She would very much benefit from a home where interactions are at her choosing. When in the mood she very much enjoys pets and rubbing her face on people. We will miss her very much but feel it is best for her quality of life to find a home without her brother.

Story
This is Harley and Luna, I’m listed both together in hopes to keep them together as they are really attached to each other. Harley is the calico cat she’s about 9 years old and Luna is the small black cat she’s about 5. Harley treats Luna like she’s her baby and they are always together. They are both female cats both fixed very sweet and loving. They do well with kids and I believe would do okay with other cats but unsure (Lunas male sibling does not get along with them). I am having to move in a month and won’t be able to take my cats with me, so I’m in need of a kind animal lover to help me with this difficult responsibility of rehoming my cats and I’m hopeful they will find a loving home together. They are also both litter trained. Also, Luna is missing one canine tooth, but vet said she’s alright without it and is able to function normally without it.

Story
My daughter had found her in the summertime in Palm Springs with her feet blistered and skinny with her ribs exposed. She was feral for a bit she was skittish at first but now she is a doll ! She is fixed and microchipped we expected her to fit in with our other animals . Well I have an older cat who she doesn’t get along with as well as my dog. I think she like all the attention and doesn’t share well ! She loves the windows and sunshine . Also enjoys being high up . She is a sweet cat very independent but she is getting better about being held . I she’s never been and she’s never scratched at any people . Definitely feel she needs to be the only animal. That can certainly change overtime.
