Story
I've had Apollo since he was about six weeks old when I adopted him from a shelter. He has always been the sweetest most cuddly cat and he's always looking for pets, butt smacks, or just a nap with a warm human (don't let his RBF fool you). He's also super playful and overall just a chill dude. And his loafs are always a 10/10. He has had some ongoing issues with his nose for a few months now (it gets dry/crusty and it sometimes bleeds) and my vet has tried a couple of things but nothing has seemed to fix the root of the problem and I don't really have the funds to continue to just try things that may or may not even work. I don't think it's life-threatening or serious, just uncomfy for him so I'd prefer he go to a home that can provide him with proper medical care. He and my other cat, Loki, are companions (but not deeply bonded) so I would prefer to keep them together if at all possible. I will also be relocating later this year and will be living with someone who is highly allergic

Story
I've had Loki since he was about 6 weeks old; he is 10 years old now. He's been my cuddle buddy for the last decade. He has the loudest pur you've ever heard from any cat ever and he loves to just prop up against you and nap. He's a bit skiddish but once he gets to know you, you'll never get away from him. Unfortunatley my financial situation has changed drastically since I initially took him in and he's developed some health issues (urinating outside of the litter box, needing to lose weight, etc.) that I no longer have the means to address with a veterinarian. I will also be relocating soon and will be living with someone who is highly allergic to cats. So between that and my finances, I have to make a really difficult decision. I just want to see Loki go to a home where he can he loved and cared for in the ways that I cannot. I'd prefer to keep him with Apollo. I don't think they're bonded but they are definitely companions and have been together for Apollo's whole life.

Story
We adopted Moonpie in June of 2025 from our friend after she had to move back home due to a major illness. We already had 3 cats and a dog, and one of our senior cats, Mr. Big, has had issues with Moonpie from the beginning. Recently, Mr. Big started having major behavioral issues, and we think it’s best to rehome Moonpie for his health, safety, and sanity. Moonpie is the most gentle and loving cat, and he snuggles with us every single night. He is three years old and gets along great with our dog and other two cats, and he’s a very energetic boy. We think he will fit in great with another household, but unfortunately, he does not fit in with our current gaggle of pets.
