Story
She didn’t come into my life gently—she came as a survivor. When I found her, she was just a tiny kitten, but you could see she had already been through too much. She was scared at first, unsure of everything… but she chose to trust me. And little by little, she became the sweetest, most loving, cuddly cat. She loves to play, loves to be close, and she’s always felt safest right by my side. She doesn’t like being outside—she remembers what it felt like to be alone without a family. Here, she’s always been safe, spoiled, and deeply loved. She never begs for human food, she’s well cared for, and she truly is my baby. Having to rehome her is one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. I just want her to go to a home that will love her like their own, because that’s what she deserves. She’s not just a cat—she’s a little survivor with the biggest heart.

Story
Hello, this is Dragon! He has been wandering around outside since we first moved into our home, years ago. One winter I heard him crying on our front porch but he ran off when I came outside. I left out some tuna and we have been building his trust ever since. Dragon was recently attacked by a cat and finally let us catch and help him. He was going to be a community cat but was diagnosed with Feline Leukemia. Due to this he cannot be released back outside and must be indoor only. Due to serious allergies we cannot bring him inside. He is currently being treated and housed in our garage. More about his personality: He is smart and cautious. Once he warms up he will greet you, meow at you, rub against your leg, and roll around on the floor. He purrs loudly and enjoys head scratches. Once he has decided he’s had enough attention, he will walk away and stare at you. He has never hissed, growled, or bit. He is highly food motivated and would cross the world for a pack of tuna.

Story
AC is super sweet and 2 years old. He did great at all his vet visits. Wouldn't hurt a fly. He loves to play with toys, likes to be active as well, before we moved into our apartment we had a house and he actually felt comfortable enough to go outside with me, he also had a brother cat, Toby, before we moved. He does great during bath time but he's vocal of course haha, he'll just yell at you while you wash his up but he'll just sit cute as ever complaining not even trying to escape 😂I found him one day when I had to walk home from work at 4am. He was a little baby and he's been amazing ever since. He's also super smart so be watchful he will learn your tricks.Not destructive at all to be honest, that being said, he will need a home where he has plenty of toys or friendly cats to play with and let loose.I am allergic and my allergies are getting worse hard to ignore now.

Story
Adopted Nori from a rescue center in Michigan 2 1/2 years ago when she was a kitten. She is a beautiful cat and the rescue center thought she was a half Bengal kitten. She worked out amazing with my golden retrievers and my older cat. Works well with kids 11+. However the cat that we adopted her with (a male) she all of the sudden started to not get along with. I feel sorry for her because she is such a lovey cat, but is sometimes afraid to come out and snuggle with us. We tried separating them and talked to the vet about the behavior. We have finally come to the conclusion that she would be much happier somewhere else. She is a wonderful cat that loved to snuggle once she gets to know you. She is shy when first meeting someone. I would love for her to get an amazing home with someone that can devote more attention to her and help her come out of her shell again. She really is a lovey cat. She is 3 years old and is due for her next round of shots soon. I will send her with bag of food.

Story
This boy Is the sweetest most loving cat I've ever known. He is a cuddler a Lover and a Handsome man with one blind eye. The problem is he has attachment issues and will pee all over things if I'm not home with him. I'm gone all the time so it's become an issue. He also has 4 other cats in the home that all bully him too. Nothing medically Wrong at all. Just behavioral.
