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

Teddy is 10 years old. He's a sweet and quiet cuddle bug. He loves mayonnaise. I have to rehome him because I am realizing he is not happy being in a multi-pet household. Teddy appreciates calmness and quiet. He would be lovely in an adult household with no kids or other pets. He has soft and silky fur and loves to be petted and brushed. You can easily trim his nails with his favorite churu treats. He's a good boy and he needs a stable, calm, and loving home. Preferably with someone who has the space and capacity to focus on him because he is very quiet and doesn't ask for much. He thrives when he is the only pet. He is older and sensitive to changes. He would require someone quiet, calm, and patient enough to build trust and foster a sense of safety. He was last vaccinated late 2025 and also received a full senior panel where he got a clean bill of health. I will be able to provide some food and pet supplies upon adoption.

Story

Rukia was adopted into our home with her brother about 6 years ago. After 4 years of coexisting peacefully she and her brother appeared to have some sort of issue resulting in routine fighting and stress. We have worked to try and ease her stress for the past two years, but feel it is in her best interest to find a home where she can live without the current stress. She lived with a dog for the first few years and was comfortable, when visitors bring dogs she makes herself scarce. She is shy at first but once she is bonded with you she will spend all the time contentedly purring on your lap or lounging in a sunbeam nearby. She loves to play with small cat toys, enjoys a good belly or nose rub, but does not enjoy being picked up/held tightly. She is not food motivated but also enjoys little treats once in a while. She is very clean and grooms herself often. She also "talks" with you at times. She is very sweet but needs a quieter/less busy home where interactions are at her choosing.

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

I adopted Bubby (his preferred name) from Lifeline, the day before Thanksgiving in 2024. At the time he was on 6 weeks old. Since the day I’ve had him he’s been so loving , playful and cuddly. Bubby will be turning 2 in September and I must say his naps have increased but so have his playtime lol. In his new home I’d love for it to be a loving, joyful home. A place where he can have space for his zoomies and a set up for him to hide out when he’s feeling mysterious lol. He was my first cat and it is a bit hard to even type this. He’s an amazing Cat, the only reason I’m letting him go is because of my lifestyle as an Artist, the frequent travel is unfair to him. He deserves more than I’m able to give in this season of my life.
