Story
Saria was a cat that was living in a small colony of five cats near our house when we moved in. There was a winter storm that came along, and we learned she was pregnant. We ended up taking all of the cats in, and she has had her kittens, and weaned them fully. I love her, but I do not have room in my house for her long-term. I would describe Saria as snuggly and calm. She is firm in her boundaries with other animals, but gets along very well with them. She is pretty tolerant of almost anything. We have a four year old in my home who adores her. She loves to lounge and receive pets. She is also a fantastic mouser. She is 100% indoors now, but will stand at the garage door and meow when she knows there is a mouse. I believe she is around 2 years old. We are able to deliver her wherever an adopter lives or would like to meet us. We want her to find a permanent home where she can thrive. She is good with cats, gerbils, and my 75lb dog. She is spayed and vaccinated.

Story
Malon is sweet and quiet. She loves to come to you to snuggle. She is the most shy out of all of my cats right now, but it doesn't take away from how charming and friendly she is. We have another cat for adoption named Saria who would be a good candidate to go with Malon if there is not already a second cat in the home. Malon likes to have a cat friend. She isn't as big of a fan as dogs, but could live with a calm one that can respect a cat's boundaries. I have a big, high-energy dog, that she is not super fond of. She is about 1 year old, and also had a kitten (just one!) after the winter storm in January. She has fully weaned her kitten, and has been spayed and vaccinated since we took her in. There is no adoption fee, and we are happy to deliver her.

Story
Milo is a very sweet cat with a lot of quirks. We adopted him from a rescue with plans to help him lose weight but it’s been difficult to get him to exercise. He does not get along with our other cats at all and stresses himself out to the point he is too worried about them to play. He weighed 22 lbs when we got him and now he is 20 lbs so I know progress is possible I just don’t think we have the right conditions for him. He does get along with very calm and friendly cats. He will occasionally smack them (mostly during meal time), but if the other cat doesn’t escalate all is good. He hates dogs and he’s not kid friendly, he will scratch if you don’t know how to pet him gently. He is house trained but recently he’s been peeing on the floor from stress. Despite all of this he is so so sweet. I’m very sad to have to rehome him. He loves laying in your lap. When I sit down he runs just to sit on me. He is a great cat and I want him to go to someone patient, loving, and understanding!

She is a very sweet and loving girl. She LOVES to cuddle! The biggest lap cat I’ve ever met. We brought her in along with her mom, who I also have listed, for the winter. She is around a year old I believe and she is a little shy at first but warms up quickly! I wish I could keep her but I already have plenty of other cats and it’s hard to be able to love and take care of them all. She deserves her own person who can really love on her! I just want her to go to a kind and loving forever home. Also the pair don’t have to go together they aren’t bonded or anything but it would be cute!

She is a very sweet and loving girl! We brought her, along with her daughter, who I also have listed, inside for the winter because of the cold and because she repeatedly was having kittens. I think she is around three years old. She is very loving but also a little shy until she gets to know you. I would love to keep her but unfortunately I already have plenty of other cats and it’s hard to give them all the right amount of love and attention. She deserves a welcoming, loving, and patient home and I hope she finds one! Also the pair doesn’t have to go together they aren’t bonded or anything but it would be very cute!

Story
DAUGHTER HAS ASTHMA, PLEASE HELP US RE-HOME-- Adorable, sweet female gray tabby/calico mix, 11 wks old, vetted, feline leukemia test negative, wormed and spayed, too young for shots at this time. We live in somewhat of a rural area, we saw and fed a mom and 4 kittens that showed up and within 2 days there were only 2 kittens left. Prey?? We decided we should trap them. We trapped all 3 over a few days and had all were vetted and spayed. Mom cat is a beautiful calico mix, she looks like some sort of wildcat and was even mistaken for a bobcat kitten, her tail is not bobbed. Unfortunately, mom has proven to be too feral to domesticate. I was told because she bit someone at the vet that the shelters would put her down. After recovering from her surgery, we set her up outside and now have our first "barn cat" minus the barn; we have an enclosure on the side of our little metal building. She has stayed around but we have to get the kittens re-homed, See profile for Apollo as well.
