Story
I rescued Mia when she was a kitten. She was mine for 2 years and then I did a travel position and she moved in with my parents for 10 years until they came to Colorado to live and I took her back. Mia is a sweet sweet cat who loves attention - happiest on your lap. She is great with kids and even tolerates puppies just fine. Mia was diagnosed with diabetes last week. I have two young children and family stuff going on right now - I am unable to carry out the treatment she needs for her diabetes. It breaks my heart to try to rehome her - my 4 year old daughter loves her. But I can't do the treatment and I cannot bring myself to euthanize her when she is an otherwise incredibly happy and healthy kitty. She would do best with a family to be around, she is truly the sweetest.

Story
Loki has been with me for a long time, I've had him since 2012. He does ok with dogs, buts it’s been a few years since he’s been around them and he does ok with cats. I have another cat that he lives with, but he does play rough and likes to chase her. He likes cuddling, he likes being with people and he used to do really well at the vet. My ex used to be very mean to him, so he flinches a bit and tends to run if you raise your voice. I kept him after the divorce, but I can’t keep up with the vet bills. He needs his shots and needs imaging for his stomach, since he vomits too often. I was happy to save him from my ex but I feel like I’m not giving him a good home because of his medical needs. The adoption fee is waive-able of course, I just don’t want him to end up in a bad home. He meows a lot, too, I know some people prefer quiet cats. He’s a little dog-like. He doesn’t like little kids much since he’s older now, but he used to love them.

Story
We adopted the cats from animal shelter, and their siblings. My husband got a sickness and we cannot have cats. I had them for two years. And they are two years old. They’re really loving and I don’t wanna separate them because they need each other. Their mother was abusive and their inseparable. I would like someone who adopt both of them.

Story
Corky was my mother's cat since he was a kitten and he is now 17 years old. Corky is shy at first but becomes very friendly and talkative once he gets used to you. He likes to lay on the top of his cat condo and look out the window to watch the birds and rabbits. He would not do well around other dogs and cats or in very noisy/hectic households. He is up to date on his rabies shot and he is declawed so he needs to be an indoor cat or in an area which is enclosed. He still plays with his toys (the turtle is his favorite). Corky would likely do best with an older couple or single person as he does like to spend his time around his person/people. After my mom passed away I was able to take Corky so we didn't have to find him a home but due to my relocation and changes in schedule/circumstances, I can no longer care for him. Corky has a cat condo, two litter boxes and litter pails, and various toys.
