Story
Zee baby is sweet sleep yet playful too. Likes naps and also loves his random zooms! Since I have a weak immune system and have awful allergies I’d prefer a home for him where most people aren’t like me to give him better :(. Some nice room and warm people. I’m a very busy college kid and when I come home he greets me and either naps on me or zooms and we play too. It’s only been a month but when I got him he hid in a cupboard for 2 days straight and then never left my side when he got out. I put food and his litter box near his hidding and he was good. Sensitive boy emotionally and physically.

Story
Stripe's mother, Molly, was an abandoned kitty that we took in and later had 3 kittens. He has 2 sisters. Stripe needs a good, loving home. He loves to play and run around. He can be very cuddly and loves to be pet. Will sit on your lap and just soak it all in. As much as I would love to keep Stripe and his sisters, finding a new home would be the best thing for him as our current cat is not very good with other cats.

Story
Ginger's mother, Molly, was an abandoned kitty that we took in and later had 3 kittens. She has 1 brother and sister. Ginger needs a good, loving home. She is quiet and shy. She took a bit of time to stop hiding and come around to really being social with me. As much as I would love to keep Ginger and her siblings, finding a new home would be the best thing for her as our current cat is not very good with other cats.

Story
Jamie is a 2 year old rare Lilac Lynx Point Siamese. He is absolutely beautiful and the sweetest, most loving, and most kindest cat. He loves to be around me and is a snuggler. Unfortunately, 2 of my cats bully him and I have had both of those cats for years longer. I have other cats in the house that he gets along great with. I absolutely love this cat and the thought of rehoming him breaks my heart. However, I have come to the conclusion that I need to do what is best for him. I want to make sure that Jamie goes to a home where he can be loved as much as this sweet baby deserves.

Story
Fred is the strong silent type. He keeps to himself and loves to just hang around. He has been at the shelter for almost an entire year with zero interest. His aloof personality makes him a very low maintenance companion. When he first came to the shelter he would hiss and hide anytime someone came near him. Now, he just lazes about. He would be the perfect roommate. He and his littermates have not been given the chance to enjoy life. With time we think he will gain more confidence and will make a wonderful companion.

Story
Shaggy and Scooby are best friends and want to stay together. They need time and patience to warm up and feel comfortable, but once they do they are two pretty cool cats. Scooby is the more outgoing of the two and is a total chatterbox. While Shaggy is just like the laidback, scaredy cat, beatnik we all know and love. He would rather just hang around than be under your feet or in your face all the time. If you have a quiet home to let these guys warm up to you they would be forever grateful.
