Story
Chai was brought home by my 14 year old granddaughter, who rescued 2 infant kittens from being drowned. She and her sister have lived in my home almost 7 years. My granddaughter moved and left them with me. Chai was playful with her sister when younger. Her sis has a new home.She used to sleep next to my dog, who was almost 18 and who died recently. She seemed confused and sad that her friend was gone, slept in the same place. Chai is affectionate, likes to sit in an armchair next to me. Used to sleep on my bed but I'm committing to a new partner who is allergic to cats. Chai is smart and very vocal, will mew for attention, tells time very well (4:00 supper, is fed once a day but can wait if I'm out late, just sleeps.) She didn't used to like brushing, but now will tolerate a stroke or two with a fine brush. Loves to have her head rubbed. She will ask to be picked up, then let you know when is enough, may bat a paw with a claw, but warns you first.

Story
I acquired her from a shelter. She is two years old. I am looking for a new home as I lost my job and had to move back with my family, and one of the family member is severely allergic to cat hair. She is such a wonderful angel and she never scratched or bite me. She is very very kind to human .

Story
We welcomed our cat into our home when he was just two weeks old, a sweet gift from a family friend in December 2017. Now, we're are looking for a loving home where he can continue to be cared for and cherished. If you're someone who can offer him a calm, caring environment and the love he deserves, he'll make a wonderful and loyal companion. (P.S I do have some stuff to give that can last him a few weeks + month before you have to buy anything like food, a bed, litter.)

Story
Chowder came to our shelter after suffering a urinary blockage in his original home. His owners sought medical care immediately, but when a second episode happened, they were not able to commit to his special needs for life. We took Chowder to our vet right away. Thankfully he was not blocked again, but instead had an episode of FLUTD (feline lower urinary tract disease). He did not have an infection or crystals, so our doctor can only assume stress caused his episode. Thankfully, Chowder recovered quickly and was back to his sweet self in no time. To keep him at his healthiest, he should remain on a wet food only diet (NO DRY) to assist in preventing any future episodes. A low stress home is ideal for him as stress is often what sets off episodes of FLUTD. Hero loves other cats and would love a playmate in his new home. Chowder is about 5 years old. He is neutered , vaccinated for rabies and distemper, microchipped, feline leukemia/FIV negative, and is current on flea/tick preventative. Interested in meeting Chowder? Please complete an adoption application by visiting our website www.HalfwayHomeRescue.org. Adoption donation $250

Story
Loki and his siblings were rescued from the street by a good samaritan. He is an aloof, shy boy looking for a home to love him. Loki loves to play and snuggle with other cats, so his new home must have a feline companion for him. Loki has never lived with dogs, but would likely be ok with a mellow, cat savvy dog. Loki would be best suited for a quiet home with adults. No small kids. Loki is about 14 months old. He is neutered, vaccinated for rabies and distemper, microchipped, feline leukemia/FIV negative, and is current on flea/tick preventative. Interested in meeting Loki? Please complete an adoption application at: www.HalfwayHomeRescue.org. Adoption donation $250.
