Story
We have had Parker since 2017! He has been raised with dogs mostly, and around 5 years old he got introduced to cats, but he was aggressive (he is not a fan of cats). He can handle dogs. When we had our daughter and had to move a few times for military purposes it really made him on edge and does not like children. He is super playful with toys, lasers, and VERY food driven. He is a cat who will sleep near you once comfortable but takes a few months to adjust to change. He likes to just exist and watch the birds. Parker is not a cat that likes being picked up and held, just likes to be near. He would really thrive in a quieter home with maybe a dog and no kids. We had him at our grandparents and he is happy, but they are unable to keep him at this time.

Story
Bayli is a captivating and independent calico cat who's looking for her forever home. She's truly one of a kind, with her stunning tri-color coat that's as unique as her personality. This beautiful feline is ready to bring joy and charm into your life.Bayli is a confident and self-assured cat who knows what she wants. She thrives in a peaceful environment where she can be the center of attention. While she may not be the cuddliest cat, she'll shower you with affection on her own terms. When she's in the mood for attention, she'll come over and grace you with her gentle purring and head-butts.Bayli has a playful side too. She loves to chase after toys and can entertain herself for hours. She'll bring a sense of wonder and amusement into your home with her antics.Bayli would be happiest in a single-pet household where she can be the queen of her domain. She prefers a quiet and tranquil environment where she can bask in the sun's warmth and explore at her own pace. An adult-only household would suit her best, as she may find the energy of young children a bit overwhelming.All BAHS cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Adoptions are by appointment. Fill out an online application, and staff will contact you for an appointment. All cats/kittens adopted from the Boone Area Humane Society must be indoor-only animals and cannot be declawed.All animals have been spayed/neutered, have been tested for heartworm/feline leukemia, have had age appropriate vaccinations, been dewormed, is on flea and parasite prevention and has been microchipped.
