Story

Meet Dora, aka Dora Doodle Bug. Dora has been with me since the day she was born, which makes this one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. She’s spent her entire life surrounded by love and has been my companion through countless life changes and adventures. Dora is incredibly affectionate and thrives on attention from her people. She’s the kind of cat who wants to be involved in whatever you’re doing, especially if you’re going to the bathroom. In fact, she’s earned the nickname “Bathroom Buddy” because she believes no bathroom trip should ever be taken alone. She is also quite the talker and loves having conversations with her humans. Whether she’s greeting you, asking for attention, or simply sharing her opinions, she always has something to say. One of her cutest quirks is that she shakes her tail when she’s excited to see you, almost like a little happy dance. I hope to find her a home where she'll be cherished and loved as much as she deserves.

Story

Charlie is the sweetest boy, though very shy! My grandmother unfortunately had to be moved to an assisted living facility recently and we aren’t able to care for her cats since we have 4 of our own, though we’d take Charlie in a heartbeat if we could! His front paws are declawed and he’s good with other cats and dogs. He’s never been around children so we don’t know how he’d do with them. No rehoming fee, we just want to make sure he has a loving indoor only home and new forever family. He currently lives in Perryville, MO. I live in Carbondale, IL. We’d be happy to meet up anywhere in the general vicinity of either of those places!

Story

Meet [Cat’s Name]. I’ve had her since the day she was born, and she has been my shadow ever since. We’ve traveled across multiple states together and been through more life changes than I can count. Through it all, she’s always chosen one place to be—right by my side. She is very much a mama’s girl. Her favorite spot is sleeping near my head at night, and she’s happiest when she knows her person is close by. While she loves her human deeply, she’s not the type to demand constant attention. She tends to keep to herself, enjoys quiet spaces, and has a gentle, independent nature. She’s looking for a home where she can feel safe, loved, and given time to settle in. Once she trusts you, she’ll become the kind of companion who simply wants to be near you—sharing the room, the couch, and eventually your pillow. This is an incredibly difficult decision, so finding the right home matters far more than finding the quickest one. I would love to stay in contact and receive occasional updates.
