Story
We adopted Lu in 2020 from a local family-friend. She was born on May 3, 2020. She has IVF. She loves to be cuddled. She has a good heart, but is not consistent at using the litter box. This started after we had kids. It's her behavioral choice to not use the litter box. She's pretty calm, but also likes to be played with more than we play with her.

Story
I love my Blitz. But living in an RV is driving her bat crap crazy and she deserves to be able to roam like she used to which is why I'm hoping to find her a new home where she'll have room to run. She is affectionate and will sleep on your face if you let her. She's not too tolerant of other animals, even when we lived on a farm where she grew up with other cats her whole life so if you are just looking for one kitty that doesn't need to have a playmate, this is the kitty for you. I don't want to do this but I don't know when my situation will change and she's still fairly young.

Story
Banana is approximately 6 years old. I've had her her whole life. She's very affectionate and spayed. She's one of 3 cats I kept when I had to leave my farm. This is a hard decision but she deserves to be in a home, not the tiny RV we've been forced to live in for the last year. I think being cooped up when she used to be able to go outside whenever she wanted, is taking a toll on her. I don't know when our situation will get better but I don't want her to get sick and die. She gets along with some animals, depending on their temperment. She's box trained. I named her Banana because of the yellowish hue on her fur. Please help me save my baby.

Story
Back in February of 2021 my girlfriend at the time and I came across a craigslist ad of some kittens that were for free in a neighboring city so we reached out and ended up taking home two from the litter; a boy kitten (Kobain) and a girl kitten (Kehlani). They are brother and sister from the same litter and are extremely bonded and cannot be separated. Everyday they spend much of their time interacting with each other whether it be playfully wrestling, or grooming each other or just simply laying and cuddling next to each other. Kehlani is very sweet and gentle, she's a little bit more shy compared to her adventurous brother but still very cuddly and loves to come hang out especially when just hanging out at home. They're both pretty responsive to their names and love to play. If you're looking for some cats that will cuddle with you and hang out then these are the ones for you.

Kobain is an adventurous and cuddly cat, he loves to hang around and follow you if you're doing stuff around the house. I raised both of them to be pretty gentle and calm cats. They spend most of their time lounging and hanging out. They love to go out onto the deck or balcony for fresh air and sun bathe as well. Kobain is gray and weighs around 20lbs, he's a pretty big boy. They were small kittens around 2021 so they should be 5 years of age.

Story
She's a very loving cat. Loves attention. Very playful. Is under 2 years old. She was found wandering my apartment building a few months ago and just hasn't settled in with my other cats. She might get alone with a family who has one or two cats, but I have way more than that.
