Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained,
Story
Seeking free residence for Jojo, a crotchety old man who has been imprisoned in the living corpse of a cat! In his human life, Jojo was a farmer who bulldozed down a cat plantation to turn into peacock grazing fields. So when Jojo moved beyond our mortal plane, the fates smited him by cramming his soul into the vestige of a grey tabby. So naturally Jojo the Cat CANNOT live with other cats - because he hates cats (he also has FIV or feline AIDS). Jojo is no spring chicken! He’s fully prepared to fart around in your living room. The man comes pre trained to do his business in a box - that we will provide! He might even use a scratching post (we can also provide) if placed strategically and you don’t make a big deal out of it. Being the cranky octogenarian he is, Jojo loves being left the heck ALONE. He also likes lying in the sun, screaming, eating, and mourning his human body. He’ll never pass up a nap near a sunny window -either - that sounds kind of nice - right?

Story
Italian mothers are often known for their loving nature and feeding any and all that they care about. That is exactly why Mamma Mia has received her name. She was brought to us as an owner surrender with not only her kittens, but some kittens from another mother cat who sadly passed away. Mamma Mia took in and fed and cared for these kitties like they were her own. The kittens have since been adopted but she is still with us waiting for the perfect person to give her the home she deserves. She is timid at first, but soon warms up and enjoys being pet. As soon as you gain her affection, she considers you family. Stop by and meet this perfect mama. also gets along with her four legged roommates. Come in and meet this amazing Mamma!
