Story
Bonded pair. Rehoming for my mother as her health has declined. She adopted the cats thru a rescue Dec 2024 and they were determined to be 4 months old at the time. Vaccines and spay at Noah's Ark. They are little box trained. They are sisters and very bonded so would like to keep them together. They are sweet and cautiously curious . They love to play together. They have been very well cared for and super spoiled. They have not been around children or large animals.

Story
Lord Nefarian, Lord of the Black Dragonflight is a 4ish y/o black cat with opinions. He is a big boy at 18 lbs due to being a tomcat in the wild for the first 3 years of his life. We adopted him from the local shelter almost a year ago and gave him more than enough time to acclimate to our home with 3 Dachshunds and 1 other cat, but he is physically aggressive to all of them. He bullies our other cat and all the dogs have received injuries from him showing his displeasure about their existence. He is absolutely a loving, attentive, happy cat with the adult humans. He purrs, he meows, he headbutts, he is a love machine. To humans. He would do best as an only pet in a home with kids older than 10. He's scratched our 7 y/o one too many times as she's playing with the other pets, so he definitely gets jealous. He loves to lie on the arm of the couch like a panther lurking before pouncing. Is your home prepared for his regal presence? We sure hope so!

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.

Tasha is a very loving though very anxious cat. She's talkative too and yet independent. We got her from a family with a toddler and the toddler was mean as hell to her. We want her to go to a good, loving home.

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
Maggie is a beautiful black and white cat. Maggie is a talker! She is approx 4 yrs old. She loves to drink out of the faucet and loves her independence. She would thrive in a home where she is the queen. She does well with dogs, but does not like other cats which is why we need to re-home her unfortunately.
