Story
Meety Sammy (Sam). He showed up a couple months ago. He got fixed recently and has his rabies shots. He is very chill and does well with the neighbor kids. He is very calm and lays around Alot lol. He loves to look out the window and watch birds. He is a very good hunter (when he was outside). He has been treated for fleas. I adore him but I already have a cat and don't have the money for another one. He will come with his collar, litter box, food, and also a cat tree with a little cubby he likes to go inside. I will vet whomever wants to adopt him and will want to see where he is going to live. Prefer no indoor smokers as the smoke is toxic to animals. I have spent probably 300 or more taking care of him, getting him fixed, and taking him to the vet which is why I am asking 25 dollars to ensure he goes to a good home

Hi, my name is charm 😊 I just turned a month old and will be two months 12-26-25. My birthday is 10-26-25. I have a sister and mom I love to play with. I’m still getting use to running and climbing. And I just discovered tuna is really yummy 😋 I love to be held and on the shy side still since the world is so new to me. I’m looking for my forever family to love me and have lots of memories and love and tuna 🤭 also I’m the one to the left, the right is my baby sister Clover. She’s looking for her forever family too😊 she’s just like me but not to big on tuna but loves chicken 😋 and also loves to play and climb on everything and everyone

Story
Rizzo is a charming, affectionate, and playful cat with a big personality! He loves to lounge in cozy spots like laundry baskets or perch proudly at the top of his cat tree. But don't let his chill side fool this guy has serious moves when it's playtime! Fresh laundry? Rizzo sees it as an invitation to pounce and play. Whether it a feather toy, a t-shirt, or a laser pointer, he will put on a show with leaps and even backflips if you really get him going. When it comes to affection, Rizzo has his own flavor. His favorite way to show love is by hanging out near your feet while you're sitting, happily soaking up foot pets. Rizzo was declawed when he was very young and as a result has always been an indoor cat. He will be most at home with a family that is able to periodically play with him and give him love and attention during downtime.

Story
Maize is a gentle, snuggly sweetheart who just wants to be close to people. Her chill level is uncanny and she has been known to purr during baths just because she just loves the attention. She’s very food-motivated and will sprint to you the second she hears a can pop open. However, her best trait is perhaps that she is very conversational. Tell her about your day, and she'll happily talk back with you (in cat language) the whole time. She's a very good listener. She doesn't require much in the way of cat entertainment, but will absolutely go wild if she sees a reflection or laser on the wall. Oftentimes your phone will create a glare and you'll just notice her fixate on a random spot on the wall. For human entertainment, she loves to sit on your lap or the back of a couch and watch Friends. If your home has other cats or kids, it makes no difference to her as long as she has a friend to cuddle with!
