Story
I will start by saying Charcoal is a great and loveable cat under the right conditions. When we are alone with no other cats around, he is the most attention starved cat on the planet. He's shy around strangers so he takes time to warm up to people. We got him when he was about a month old back in October 2020 from a family friend. Things started out fine. We got him fixed as soon as the vet gave the go ahead to avoid the very issue we have now. He acts as if he's never been fixed. He fights all our female cats, (tolerates the males?) and worse of all, he's marking everywhere. We've taken him to the vet, nothing wrong. We tried pheromone diffusers and collars, nothing improved. Judging by his behavior when we are alone with him, we have come to the hard decision that our house might just be stressing him out too much. He might just not like other cats as we never see him playing with anyone.

Story
Estrella was adopted from a shelter in August of 2025 when she was a kitten about 2 to 3 months old with the objective to add her to our family and give companion to our first cat, but unfortunately our first cat did not accept her and to this day nothing has changed.She is sweet, loving, smart, vocal, playful, she keeps me company and follows me to every room in the house. Unfortunately she has learned to become defensive with other cats due to our first cat not accepting her.Estrella needs a quiet, peaceful home where she is given a lot of attention, ideally someone that spends most of their time at home. If this sounds like a match to your lifestyle, please reach out and give it a try.I will provide her first two weeks of food for her, also provided her feeding bowls, water fountain, cat tower, and cat scratcher.

Story
Inky is a handsome boy, approximately 3 years old. He's very healthy (fully vetted), gentle, and loving. He grew up as a stray and after a rough street life was was converted to an indoor cat (and he LOVES it). He is happy hanging out with his person and chilling in a window. He was attacked while living on the streets so is untrusting of other cats. I believe he would be best as an only pet. He is very clean, has always used the litter box, doesn't touch plants, uses his scratcher and doesn't scratch furniture. He needs a calm home where he can roam freely and be adored. He's a special, sweet soul. His foster mom loves him very much, but juggling cats/doors/tension has become very difficult on everyone. If you are willing and able to give Inky his best life he will reward you with unconditional love and snuggles. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Pepe is quit skiddish as he has experienced mean humans hisyorically. Someone hit him very hard. He needs a patient understanding owner. We are not in a great living situation for him. There are too many people around and he deserves better. He is a loud purrer and a lover.
