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
Beatrice is an extremely shy cat. We have a house full of people with two other cats and we are unable to accommodate Beatrice any longer. She is a very sweet, very loving cat. She is currently unaltered but has never been outside and both are boys in the house are fixed so she has never had a litter. I would really like to just see this sweet girl have a better home than what I can provide for her.

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
I adopted Ume after moving to Ft. Wayne in October 2019, as my Siamese cat, Sake, needed a friend while I was at work and university. She immediately treated him like her baby, with him being 7 years her senior. That experience tells you everything there is to know about Ume, she's got the spirit of a sweet, gentle, albeit shy angel. Unfortunately, after Sake passed away, she has come to rely on only me for attention as she is too afraid of the loud noises my partner's children and dog make, and this leads to her spending a majority of the time alone in my room... simply put, I love this cat too much for her to spend the rest of her life in such a way, and with a baby on the way, it's time for her to brighten another household with her presence. She is low maintenance, all that she requires is affection, food, and water, although she will happily get chunky if overfed. Ume is currently at the perfect weight according to my vet, and truly just needs a safe and calm space to call home.
