Story
Baga is a very brave little cat who has often come to our home to eat the food we put out for outdoor cats. We watched him grow up slowly — from following his mom to eat, to eventually coming on his own. Over time, he grew stronger and more confident, and he would often sit by the window and “talk” to our own cat. Even from the beginning, he wasn’t very afraid of us. Seeing his personality and potential, we decided to give him the chance for a better life through TNR, and possibly help him find a loving home. We carefully implemented this plan, and after some gentle socialization, Baga has transformed into a very affectionate and friendly cat. Today, he is extremely warm, enthusiastic, and loves interacting with people. Baga has grown from a cautious outdoor kitten into a confident, loving companion, ready to bring joy to a forever home.

Story
Meet the most charming, polite roommate you could ask for. Leo is a very affectionate one-year-old who loves head scratches and greets you with soft purrs when you come home. He is also very well-behaved and does not jump on counters or cause any trouble. He isn’t big on solo play, but the moment you pull out a wand toy, he springs into action. Because of health circumstances, I need to rehome him and want to do right by this sweet friend. He would thrive in a household that can give him lots of attention and affection. He's neutered, up-to-date on his shots and healthy. I'm happy to give away my supplies, including an automatic litter box, automatic feeder, water fountain and more. Please tell me why you are interested in Leo and how you would care for him.

Story
Hello! My name is  Percy . I am looking for my very own family. I am a sweet and friendly young cat. I am just about a year young. I love toys and people. I currently live with dogs and cats. I am a special needs kitten.  &#226&#128&#139I don't really know why my back legs are paralyzed, but I promise you I don't let that stop me!!  I would love someone willing to help me with daily functions.  I need to be expressed.  Don't let that scare you.  It is pretty easy to accomplish.  I am most comfortable when I am expressed multiple times a day.  At night, I am comfortable wearing a diaper.  I usually cooperate when it is time to express and stimulate my bowels if you can catch me!!  I love my cat perch and have no problem climbing it.  They named me Percy, which is short for perseverance.  I have never let any challenges get in my way!!   I would love to meet YOU. Our Adoption fee is reduced to $105 for Special Needs Cats.   For adoption consideration or to meet our kittens , please complete our online application:   www.everypetsdream.org/adopt and  we will have everything we need to know to call you back and set up an appointment.  Follow us:  Facebook  and  Instagram   November 5, 2024, 12:10 am
