Story
🐾 Meet Pepper! 🐾Pepper is a sweet, playful 6-year-old boy looking for his forever home. He is neutered, up to date on all shots, and fully litter-box trained. He loves to play, but he’s mostly a total couch potato who enjoys lounging around, belly rubs, and lots of cuddles. ❤️Pepper has lived with a toddler and is generally okay with her, but young children and their activity can sometimes make him stressed. We feel he would thrive best in a home with older children or teenagers who understand and respect cat boundaries.He has been socialized around dogs, but would prefer a home without dogs or with a very calm, low-energy senior dog.Pepper is sensitive to big changes. During my pregnancy, he became very stressed and withdrawn and seemed to struggle with the changes. He eventually adjusted, but still isn’t completely comfortable around little kids. Since we are hoping to expand our family, we feel a home that better suits his personality would be best for him.

Story
This cat came from a litter that my earlier cat gave birth to. She is a bit vocal but loves physical attention, she will even come to your lap and rest just to be with you. She is also very playful and energetic. A curious cat like her would need an owner that can be with her most of the time or have another pet to accompany her.

Story
This cat is over 1 year old and is very social and loves to play around, it is suggested that you have another cat for him to play and talk with but otherwise he will need attention. He loves to watch TV with you too and sit with you. He came from a litter that my earlier cat gave birth to but we cannot handle the financial burden the cat needs (food, litter, etc.). He is neutered and has been checked by a vet with no problems. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Story
Hope LOVES to snuggle on your lap for hours at a time. So well tempered that she will let you pet her belly! Has never bitten nor scratched. Great for anxiety/stress relief. The sweetest girl with NO bad bone. If you look at her photos, you will notice she has two different colored eyes! Found as a kitten with a condition called atresia ani. She got corrective surgery & was adopted into a home where she lived for five years with 5 other pets until her owner had to go into memory care. She ended up back at the shelter & was scheduled for euthanasia but saved just in time! Prefers being the only pet right now. She is considered “special needs” due to her past surgery and weight gain, but she is living a NORMAL HEALTHY life minus occasional accidents.
