Story
I would like to introduce you to Snowflake. She is a 10-year old Maine Coon cat. I took her in when my mom passed away in 2024. We already had a cat, and unfortunately they can't live in the same house. They fight like it's the end of the world. Whatever is the matter, they can't live together in my house. Snowflake needs a home where there isn't another cat, although she was raised with a gigantic female golden retriever in the same house, so maybe a dog might be alright.She may have an affinity for living with a male human, she responded very well to the one man who came over to meet her. She's very affectionate. If you were the person to adopt her, it will take a month or so for her to warm up to you. After she adjusts, she will sleep in your lap, steal your chair if you get up for a second, or lay on your work laptop keyboard. I will include all of her life necessities- litter boxes, cat tree, toys, cat carrier. Please help me find a permanent home for this beautiful girl.

Story
He is an incredibly sweet, affectionate, and resilient cat with a truly special personality. Once he learned to trust us, he became extremely loving and social. He follows people around, seeks attention constantly, loves cuddling, making biscuits, and simply being near humans. He is very gentle, easy to handle, and has never shown aggression. He originally lived outdoors near an abandoned house and became a regular visitor to our porch starting in September. Over time, with patience and care, he fully opened up to us and clearly thrives on human connection. We had him neutered, vaccinated, and fully vetted (paperwork included) because we wanted him to have the loving home he deserves. After bringing him indoors, we learned he has a paralyzed bladder caused by nerve damage in his tail. He understands when he needs to go to the bathroom, but sometimes cannot fully control or empty his bladder. Given the level of care he needs, we are urgently seeking the right adopter.
