Story
Shadow is a 2-year-old Bombay mix who was adopted from a rescue in Urbana, IL when I was in college. I instantly fell in love with this gentle, curious, mysterious cat. I unfortunately cannot care for him anymore due to my new job and schedule, and I’d rather give him to a home where he gets more attention and room to roam.Shadow is:• 2 years old (Birthday in January)• Smart and loving• Sweet and always looking for pet rubs• Shy at first until he gets to know youI’m looking for someone who can really take care of him and pay attention to his needs and what he likes. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions!💰 Rehoming fee: $25

Story
His name is Axel and he is a great cat! Very social, loving and playful. I am relocating and can’t take him with me but I want him to go to a good home that loves him and will take good care of him. My Mom will have him temporarily while I’m trying to find him a new home. She just can’t keep him longterm due to health issues. He is a great cat and would love to be someone’s newest family member!

Story
Cheyenne is 11. She was rescued after being bounced from home to home following the unexpected and tragic loss of her human mom. Her last human was evicted for trying to keep her and she needs stability in her life. Her human dad now has to travel for work and has run out of people in his life who can take her. She is a sweetheart and loves to snuggle, she just needs a new family that can give her the love and attention that she deserves. All he asks is that she finds someone who can love her as much as his late wife did.

Story
Riddle is an amazing cat who is super loving and playful. He just turned 1 year old in September (we think, could be +-a month). He gets along with our other cats well and has even helped our chunky boy lose some weight by forcing him to play. He is a skittish little scaredy cat but has the attention span of a toddler so he can be distracted and lured out by playing with him if you want to introduce him to guests or whatever you need him for. He hasn't met dogs or children so I don't know how he would react to them, but he's pretty young and adaptable so I think after some initial hiding, he'd be fine. A coworker had to move and could not rehome Riddle. She was going to toss him out to the street so we took him in temporarily but we can't support another cat for a number of reasons so we hope a loving home can be found for him without us having to take him to a shelter.

Story
Found this sweet girl in my neighborhood when I was out looking at the lunar eclipse! She is SO well behaved, perfectly healthy, litter trained, and the sweetest baby! She's about a year old and I've taken care of all her shots, spaying, etc. I would love to keep her myself but I've been having a severe allergic reaction to her sadly. Hoping to find her a safe, happy, loving, permanent home!
