Story
We are reaching out in hopes of finding a loving forever home for our wonderful cat, Bianco. Unfortunately, with our growing family and changing circumstances, finding him a new home has become increasingly urgent. Our greatest hope is to find someone who will give Bianco the love, attention, and stability he deserves.Bianco is a healthy, affectionate 14-year-old senior cat with so much love left to give! He is incredibly intelligent, friendly, loving, and playful. He loves being around people, enjoys cuddling and keeping you company while watching TV, and will sometimes even offer his little paw to say hello! He is a wonderful companion who truly enjoys human affection and attention. We are sincerely hoping to find Bianco a loving home as soon as possible. We would be happy to answer any questions.

Story
Meet Giuseppe and Amadeus! These sweet, bonded brothers were born August 19, 2024, and have been best friends since day one. Giuseppe is a classic, vibrant orange tabby with plenty of charm, while Amadeus is a soft blonde beauty with lovely white accents. They are strictly indoor cats who are well-mannered, fully litter-trained, and wonderfully social. Best of all, they are exceptionally adaptable: they do great around dogs, gentle kids, and other animals, making them an effortless fit for almost any family. They spend their days playing, grooming each other, and lounging together. Because of an unexpected overseas move, I need to find them a safe, permanent home together ASAP. Giuseppe and Amadeus are deeply attached to one another and must be adopted as a pair. If you have room in your heart and home for this loving duo, please reach out today!

Story
Kuro is the youngest cat from one of our late cats that had passed away just recently, she only just recently turned two, currently I am really just trying to find a new home that she deserves because I simply am unable to provide the care and attention she needs anymore. She's a very friendly and very affectionate cat she doesn't really hiss or need a lot of attention. Though she is very very food oriented in the sense that she will bolt toward a bowl the moment she hears or sees food. She also really loves rolling around and flopping on the floor.

Story
Lily is curious and playful, even if she's a bit old. She has never bitten anyone to harm, only soft bites while playing. She is very delicate and affectionate. She loves to be cuddled around the head. She is estimated to be 12 years old. However, she is quite vocal when she is hungry or wants to play. She is on a special hydrolyzed protein diet (Royal Canin Selected Protein PD) because of allergies/intolerance. We have wet and dry food we can include with the adoption (along with other items like a litter box). She does not like young children and babies very much, but gets along quite well with older people. She is also declawed, neutered, and microchipped. She uses the litter box every time, except when she is sick (quite rare; she is in good health). Finally, she has a little habit of licking and chewing plastic bags when she is hungry (this is why she needs an "experienced adopter"). So if you are an anti-plastic person, this is the cat for you!

Story
I adopted him about three years ago, and they told me he gets overstimulated easily so they had him separated from other cats. He’s been an indoor cat during the time I’ve had him, but I was letting him outside for a couple of weeks and he loved it, but my condo association does not allow that. Because of my schedule, I feel bad about the time he’s in the house alone, and I would love to see him go to a home where he would be allowed to go outdoors. He’s very playful and very curious of people, but he doesn’t let people get too close to him. He doesn’t like to sit with anyone on a couch or chair but he does like to follow you around the house. He does sleep with me on the bed. He also allows you to pick him up and hold him and seems to like that.
