Story

We got Aura and another cat ( both Female) a couple of years ago from a family that had kittens. Aura has always been a little anxious and had a harder time settling, and after we had a baby she's retreated back to being very reserved and shy. With her anxiousness I believe she would do much better in a home with no other pets and no children. She has had the issue of spraying during heat with the other cat around, which we believe would stop if she got spayed. We do not have the ability to pay for it, which is why we would love to rehome her to someone who can meet all her needs. Aura is independent but also loves to cuddle occasionally. She loves setting in the window to watch outside, her favorite toy is a laser, and of course she loves her catnip.

Details

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hermes is about 3 years old. I'm moving this year and need to find him a new home. He's very high energy so he likes to play and run around quite a bit. His favorite is a laser pointer. Gets along with other people well. He's lost a little bit of weight since I took these pictures. Last at the vet a few months ago. I also have listed my other cat Apollo on here. They get along but I would no consider them "bonded buddies" as the ARL calls them, so they can go to separate homes or together. Just want to find them both somewhere good before I move (will be moving cross country to a much smaller place).

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This lovely tabby boy is Max! Max might appear very shy, but once you get to know him you'll see how big his heart is! Max is a big fan of wand toys and is still working on becoming more social. He would prefer a quiet house with high perches and cozy spots for him to nap. Max is FeLV+ (feline leukemia) positive. Besides a comfy home and a loving family, he has to be the only cat or live with other FeLV+ cats to avoid spreading the disease. Max is waiting for his perfect chance to pick his person, so don't hesitate to stop by and meet him!
