Story
Ella and Nala are two sisters we adopted from the APL in 2024. They were born in April of 2024 so they are a little under two years old. They are the sweetest cats anyone could ever ask for. They love to play, snuggle on the couch, and explore their surroundings. You can always find Nala laying in the window, and Ella chasing her laser around. Once you start petting them they will just purr for hours. We are sad to be giving them a new home, but hopeful that we can find them a new family to love. We have toys, an automatic litter box, treats, cat trees, and cat beds that can come with them as well.

Story
Smudge is 13 years old and is a super social cat. He loves to cuddle and be on someone’s lap. I got him when he was 3yrs old and he has moved all over the country with me. He needs attention and I am unable to provide that anymore with 2 new babies. He loves wet food and will sleep in bed with you all night long. He loves to play and is the best boy ever.

Story
We’ve had her for years, she started out as a stray and has never been to the vet but no health issues. She recently got fleas and I’ve done everything but I’m only 71 (flip it) and simply can’t do much for her. I love her so much and I just want her to have a happy home and live out the rest of her years peacefully. We estimate her age to be 17-18 but she’s very active. She’s the sweetest cuddliest girl and is all in all a joy to have. I can’t do right by her and I want someone who can provide her with the life I can’t. Her story is complicated and I am more than happy to explain to someone the details. The fee is simply for serious adopters and will be refunded at pick up if they decide to pursue her care.
