Story
Meet Nala! This sweet and affectionate feline is the perfect addition to any loving home. She is a playful and loving cat who loves giving kisses and snuggling up next to her human companions. Kissy is a bit of a busybody and loves to keep an eye on her surroundings, but she can also be very calm and relaxed when it's time to unwind. She is estimated to be 1.5 to 2 years old and is still young enough to have many happy and healthy years ahead of her. Despite her love for her kids, Nala can sometimes be a bit growly with them. This is normal behavior for a cat and is simply a way for her to assert herself and maintain her boundaries. She also has a nurturing side and can often be found cleaning kids faces. Unfortunately, Nala's current owner has too many cats and is unable to keep her. This means that Nala is in need of a new forever home where she can be the center of attention and receive all the love and care she deserves. If you think you could provide Nala with the loving home she needs, please consider adopting her today!Interested in adopting this pet?

Story
Meet Lexi!! She’s a beautiful and sweet 5 year old Tabby mix who’s looking for a new forever home. Unfortunately, her current owners are looking into re-homing her because their other cat keeps attacking her for some reason. Sadly, Lexi no longer feels comfortable in their home and just hides. Her current owner has tried to correct the situation with their other cat, but is strong in her belief that Lexi does not deserve to live her life in fear. She is spayed and up to date on her shots. She is good with kids. She would be best in a home without other animals due to the trauma she has experienced with another cat. She can’t wait to thrive in her forever home!

Story
I've had Karios since he was 4 weeks old. He's my Covid cat, he was given to me 5 days into the start of Covid. He has been a pleasure to have, I have fallen in love with him. He's smart plays catch with me. He loves his temptation treats, which I call cat crack lol. He will let you know when he wants a treat, and knows if he's getting on at the mention of the word snack. He follows me every where. He's spoiled. i have all the accessories a cat would need. I take good care of him and he is in good health. The reason I can't keep him is because I am a diabetic and he has scratch me and bitten me all in play I am sure he doesn't know he is hurting me; but being a diabetic means that I can't afford to get scratched or bitten because of infection. I have already experienced this. Secondly, I travel a lot. I will be moving in August and will not have anyone to care for him since I live alone. This has been a challenge in the past finding a caregiver. My heart is breaking.
