Story
Monty was my Mom and Dad's cat. They both passed away unexpectedly this past year. He has been living at my Mom's house where I have been taking care of him. But that house is selling this week. Monty is the sweetest cat. He loves to cuddle and be around people. He loves to purr loudly when he is happy. He is an easy going cat that is very much food oriented. He loves being groomed and made pretty. Monty meant a to be my Mom. As he was a constant comfort to her after her husband died of a heart attack unexpectedly. This past year taking care of him has brought us closer together missing our mom.I wsh I could keep him but I can't. The next best thing I can do is find him a good and loving family who will give him the care and love he deserves Thank you.

Story
Meet the Gorgeous Milo!Milo is a stunning young Siamese mix who’s been loved and adored in his foster home since he was just a tiny baby. He’s grown up surrounded by care, snuggles, and friendship — and now he’s ready to find his forever family!Milo is a social butterfly who gets along wonderfully with other cats and even the cat-friendly dogs in his foster home. He adores his human visitors, always greeting them with affection and playful energy.You might be wondering — if he’s such a sweetheart, why hasn’t he been adopted yet? Well, Milo is what we like to call a “special boy.” He was born with a condition called **megaesophagus**, which simply means his food needs a little help getting to his tummy. To keep him healthy and happy, he eats and drinks from an **elevated surface** (like a stand or lick mat). As long as he’s fed this way, he does great!Because of his special needs, Milo will need to stay **indoors only**, which suits him perfectly — he loves lounging in cozy spots and being close to his people.Milo is **100% litter box trained**, affectionate, playful, and incredibly well-adjusted. He’s been thriving in foster care, and now he’s ready to bring endless love, joy, and purrs to his forever home.If you’re looking for a beautiful, loving companion who will be your loyal friend for life, Milo just might be your perfect match.

Story
Merlin is around four; we adopted him from the local animal shelter two years ago. He is a wonderful, friendly, sweet cat that we love. He sits on our laps and enjoys belly rubs like a dog. He does not ever scratch or bite us, despite him being quite playful. We only have one issue and it's not his fault, but has reached the point where it's better for Merlin to rehome. We also want him to have a richer life since he is bored here and the house is too small; he likes to play and runs fast, but there is nowhere to go. Our female cat is tiny and timid, so when Merlin tries to play with her she runs away fast, but chasing fast objects is his favorite game, so Merlin thinks she is playing. Rinse repeat; we've tried everything but it's too much stress for our female cat and our daughter. Merlin will be a wonderful single cat, or a great playmate for the right companion. We want to find him a great home because he is amazing and so full of love!

Story
Very Affectionate Cat Needs a Loving Home We are heartbroken to have to rehome our sweet cat due to an unexpected move and job loss. Our new housing situation unfortunately does not allow pets, and we can no longer provide the care and stability she deserves. She is extremely affectionate and loves being around people. If you sit down, she will likely be right next to you asking for pets or curling up in your lap. She is shy/wary at first, but has a very loving personality when she warms up and would thrive in a home where she can get attention and companionship. Tip: She will literally not leave you alone if you give her a bit of wet food as a treat! This decision was not made lightly. We care deeply about where she goes and want to make sure she ends up in a safe, loving home.
