Story
Siggy is the sweetest most cuddly 4 year old boy. He loves to be touching, and loves to run his paws through your hair. I rescued him with a lot of trauma (burn on his neck) and he deserves a great loving home. It makes me sick to part with him but I cannot give him the home he needs now due to medical problems that require care.He loves animal friends as long as they’re kind, and he is very submissive and docile. Please help give Siggy the love he deserves to keep having.

Story
I got her from a friend who had her for a few years where she lived with 1 other younger male cat. They later got a female kitten who she was fine around. However, when I took her she was the only cat for over a year before I got a second female cat. They do not really get along and it has been 5 months now. Thus, she may do well being the only cat again or living with a younger or male cat again. She is afraid of loud sounds and will run to hide under my bed when she is scared. She takes a while to warm up to people, but if they are calmer, she should come around quicker. Thus, she would do better with older kids, since they are more likely to respect her boundaries. She is about 10 years old now and still has a full life ahead of her but I will be moving across the country and sadly cannot take her with me. Please give her a chance, she deserves a loving home still.

Hazel is a very energetic cat who also likes to spend time outdoors. Adopted her from the streets and I can no longer take care of her as I’m finding out I’m allergic to her and my landlord won’t let me keep her.

Story
I've always been a bit of a lone wolf...or should I say, lone cat? I appreciate my own space, a quiet corner to curl up in. Don't get me wrong, I'm not antisocial. I love the company of my fellow felines, but I also value my solitude. My independence might make me seem aloof, but once I warm up to you, you'll find a loyal friend in me. I'm not the type to demand constant attention, but I'll always be there, a steady presence. Why should you adopt me? Well, I'm the perfect companion for someone who values their own space as much as I do. Someone who appreciates the quiet moments as much as the loud ones. With me, you'll have a friend who respects your boundaries, but is always there when you need them. That's the kind of friend I am, and the kind of friend I hope to find in you.

Story
Daisy (about 9 years old as of March, 2025) is a female black and white shorthaired cat. Daisy was born to a feral mother cat who had literally been dumping her kittens at one of our caretakers' house for years. They finally caught her but she was about to give birth, so these lucky kittens have been inside their whole lives. Daisy is a very vocal kitty who likes to meow about things as she goes through her day and will sometimes call out to figure out where people are if she wanders off alone expecting someone to call back to her or come find her. That sounds awfully needy but she is actually the most independent kitty from her litter. She is sweet and affectionate but doesn't want to cuddle until she is done playing and doesn't feel the need to be on top of someone smothering them every time she gets a few pets. That said, when she is in full cuddle mode she loves serious, firm pets so strong they pull the skin around her eyes back and exaggerate her already naturally silly long skinny face. She is very energetic and alert which can make her seem jumpy or skittish, but it's really just her goofy, playful nature showing. She does well with older kids and mostly gets along okay with most of the other cats in her foster home, but has had conflicts with a few of them and mostly keeps to herself so she might prefer living with only the one cat she always gets along with- her sister Primrose. We're hoping we can find a family willing to take them both, as the last time we tried to separate them they both were miserable. She hasn't ever lived with a dog and with her more sensitive nature and at her age she would probably be overwhelmed
