Story
Meet this fluffy little heart-stealer.She is cute, vocal, lovey, and fully prepared to tell you all about her day whether you asked or not. She has the softest face, the sweetest personality, and the confidence of a tiny queen who knows she deserves attention.She loves people. She loves affection. She loves being talked to and will happily talk back.The one thing she does not love? Other cats.They stress her out, and honestly, same sometimes. She would do best in a home where she can be the main lady of the house, the solo princess, the fluffy CEO of the living room.If you’re looking for a sweet, talkative companion who wants love, attention, and a calm space to call her own, this girl might be your match. She’s got beauty, personality, and just enough sass to keep life interesting.

Story
Sweet, Cuddly Boy Needs Patient Home (Dubuque)I adopted him as a tiny rescue kitten found without a mama. He's grown into a sweet, large cat with a thick coat. Because he missed early kitten lessons, he does not know how to "cat". He's a "fraidy cat" about everything—except thunderstorms! He is terrified of strangers, so give him some time and space to get to know you. He's also camera-shy!His favorites:• Melts for belly rubs, right ear scratches, and nose rubs• Loves food and treats.• Loves my older cat; he'd probably do great with another friendly cat.Grooming: His fur is very thick and needs regular brushing to prevent mats.Why Rehoming: An emotional decision due to my own deteriorating health and physical challenges.Ideal Match: A patient, calm, quiet household with no small children. He needs a few weeks to adjust, but he should warm up just fine.⚠️ Important: Because of my health, I cannot travel. Adopters must be willing to come to me in Dubuque, Iowa to meet and pick up.
