Story
This poor girl had to be rehomed cuz she lost her first owner, she was taken by another, to keep her out of the shelter. She did not get along with the resident cat. She was rehomed again, to me. I was supposed to be forever. But now my heart is failing. So sadly she needs rehomed again. I really want it to be forever for her this time. She needs someone who will understand her quirks and love her for them. She is loving and well behaved. But a spicey little thing. She likes to bite and claw, but she is always gentile. She needs time to trust you. It took her 97 days to become a lap cat. She does not even get in the trash. If she starts acting bratty it's because she wants something. Food, treats, to play. All her toys, dishes, 2 big cat trees, a soft sided carrier and litter box and litter mats go with her. I want to send the things that have her scent on them already. So rehoming is less traumatic. I would love updates. You will need to come here to meet her. Thanks

Jelly loves attention (especially belly rubs) and watching birds outside. Good around dogs. If traveling with her she will need anxiety medicine prior to calm her down.

Story
Incredibly sweet boy who came up to me in my parking lot in mid-October looking rough. Very friendly with people and other cats, he was already litter box trained. Vet said less than a year old and he is 8 pounds currently. He is very food motivated and loves to cuddle. He has been to the vet twice and had his shots and blood drawn. He had a cut on his leg and an ear infection taken care of. He has chipped upper incisors, but it does not slow him down, eating wet or dry food! I am not asking for a rehoming fee but I would like for him to go to a home where he will get neutered and will not be declawed. I am looking to rehome as my existing cat Millie would prefer to be the only pet in the home, and I do not have enough room in my apartment for two cats. He clearly needs to be with a loving family though as he is such a cuddle bug. I also think he would do well in a home with some other cat friends that would appreciate a snuggle pile.

Story
She was abandoned by my neighbors and just ran into our house and slept on my recliner. So we decided to keep her. She is a very sweet cat will find any excuse lay down on your lap or chest. Only reason im re homing her is because she'll pee outside of the litter box and our new place won't allow anymore pets. I believe she would be happier in a smaller family maybe 1 dog or cat.

Story
Rocco is a gentle, affectionate kitty who loves nothing more than cuddling on the couch and watching TV with his people. He's half Bengal, and true to his lineage, a personality thats more dog than cat. We adopted him as a kitten from a family member who owned his mom, and been a beloved part of our home ever since. He’s wonderfully calm, gets along well with dogs, and has shown exceptional patience with our toddler. We’re heartbroken to be rehoming him, but we’re expecting another baby and moving into a smaller space. With limited room, we won’t be able to keep a litter box safely out of reach of our toddler, and we want to prioritize both Rocco’s comfort and our children safety. He deserves a home where he can continue to thrive, be adored, and stretch out on the couch. If you’re looking for a calm, dog-friendly, toddler tolerant companion, he might be your purfect match.

Story
Koda is a sweet 11 year old bengal that needs a new home due to increasing owner allergies. He thrives on affection so this isn’t ideal for him. He also lost his best cat friend to cancer, so he’s alone on top of everything else. He has no known medical issues. He was front declawed by previous owners, over 10 years ago. He is scared of kids, but loves everyone and everything else. He’s very VERY cuddly. He will crawl up in your lap and give you massages. He greats visitors like a dog. Despite being good with other animals, he’d be best in a home with a friendly cat or cat friendly, small dog. He’s indoor only, unless outside in a fenced yard with strict supervision. No children or he will constantly hide. Teenagers would be fine. He will eat plants so best to not have any around. He’s lazy and will sit in the sun most of the day. When he wants attention he will do a typical bengal yowl. Rehoming free includes his many belongings.
