Story
Rosie is the sweetest cat ever. She is a stray that decided she liked us, so I attempted a trap/spay/release. She got spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, but unfortunately, it turns out she is positive for feline leukemia. She is not currently sick, but needs to either be the only cat in the house or in a feLV positive-only household. Otherwise I would be keeping her with my house cats and adding her to my family. She loves cuddles and has a loud purr motor. She would make an excellent lap cat. She uses a litter box very well and has no other issues.

Story
I adopted Raven when she was about 6 month old, she turned one on July 24, 2023. She is all black and definatly a lover. She is the type of cat to get attached to one person and stay attached, she did well with my old roomates cat for the few moths they were together, even shared a litter box with no issues. She is a talker compared to the cats ive had in the past and loves to always be by you and sleep next to or on you. I am very sad that I can not bring her with me but being in the military she has been the best cat I could ask for. She also is on a reservior feeder and water so that she just eats when she wants. I have also had her using pretty litter as well.

Story
Lucky is the epitome of a people-person (or rather, a people-cat!). She adores being the center of attention and will happily curl up on your lap for hours, soaking up all the cuddles and pets she can get. While Lucky absolutely adores humans, she has one small quirk - shes not a fan of dogs. Despite her best efforts, Lucky hasnt quite warmed up to her canine counterparts and prefers a home where she lives with other cats or humans. However, she has plenty of love to give and promises to be the most loyal and loving companion to her human family. Lucky is in search of a forever home where she can bask in the love and attention she deserves. Whether youre a single person looking for a cuddly companion or a family in need of a feline friend, Lucky is ready to fill your home with warmth and affection.

Story
Sofie is a very loving cat. Ideal lap cat. Loves all the attention and love. The main reason for our rehoming is her issues with her Mom. I have tried to make it work over the years, but they simply don't like each other. I think she would thrive in a home where she was the one and only, but we do have a male cat that she tolerates (they just ignore each other). She is an absolute attention seeker. The moment you get cozy on the couch she will join and keep company. She does like to lick, but if you don't want her to then you can pet her head and she will get the drift and stop. Can be skiddish, so it might take her time in a new environment, but as long as you pet her lots she will be fine. She is 9 years old, sweet, fluffy and a constant snuggler.

Story
I had previously adopted Marigolds stray mother from the same neighborhood in Warrenton, MO. After a couple of years of Marigold being the sole surviving stray of the many litters her mother had in the wild, I decided to take her in on Christmas of 2022, because her mother had another litter after I adopted her, so I wanted her and her mother and sister to be together. Fast forward to now, the mother cat is gone, I now live with my wife, and we have twins on the way. Marigold is the sweetest most loving cat Ive have ever had. She still has a little bit of stray in her when it comes to other cats, however. She isnt mean and doesnt attack other cats, but they DO frighten her and stress her to the point of hiding. As much as I hate to have to give her up, I would love to make sure she goes to a loving home where she can be the center of affection as far as pets are concerned. Shes gentle and loves nothing more than snuggling up on anyones lap and just being scratched and loved on.
