She was pushed on me. She had been rehomed several times in the last couple months and I currently have her. I cannot afford to take care of her and my life is far to busy to give this cat she deserves

Story
Meet Mama Sophie who was a young stray that my daughter took in this Spring. Fairly soon after, she had kittens! Also meet her kitten, Figaro, an 11 week old, friendly, energetic, male tuxedo kitty. He's half cuddle bug and half ball of fire! (We found wonderful homes for her other 5 kittens) Mama Sophie is petite, sweet, adorable, and very affectionate. She LOVES people and attention! The problem is, we have other adult cats and dogs and Sophie does NOT like them. At all. There have been many violent, "fur flying" fights. She has to be kept in my daughter's bedroom, but it is really hard to keep her in and the other cats out. I would love to find a home for Sophie and her kitten together. They are remarkably well litter box trained, both very sweet, friendly, great with kids, playful and they are obviously bonded! ❤️ I'm sure Sophie will never bond with another cat, but if they could stay together they'd have each other! I know they'll make some lucky family so happy!

Story
Sheba is the mother cat in the photo. She is just a little over one year old. I found her as a stray cat when she was a baby and took her in. She recently got out of the house and came back pregnant. I'm losing my house due to a foreclosure and need to find loving homes for her and her new babies. They are currently 6 weeks old (on September 2nd 2026), and will be ready for new, loving families by mid September. Sheba will be ready for a loving home to relax and take a well-deserved break at this time as well. She's a sweet, beautiful, loving pet. She's even more impressive now that I've witnessed her being such a patient, gentle, loving mother. She's so giving and deserves a great family and secure forever home. 💓

Meet "Figaro", an 11wk old, friendly, ball of fire, male tuxedo kitty, and his precious mama, Sophie. Sophie was a young stray that my daughter took in, fairly soon after she had kittens. Figaro is half snuggle bug, half ball of fire! Sophie is petite, sweet, adorable and very affectionate. She LOVES people and attention! The problem is, we have other adult cats and dogs and Sophie does NOT like them. At all. There have been many violent, "fur flying" fights.

We will get Sophie shots and spayed, we have an appt at Cedarbend Oct 1st. I know together they'd make a pet free family so happy!

Story
This is my beloved cat Rizzo! I got him and his sister from a farm family while they were kittens! They’ve both been spayed and neutered and have all their shots! My male cat, Rizzo, is a beautiful male cat who is 3 years old and neutered and up to date on shots! His sister, Brownie, is spayed and much smaller than her brother! Over time he became more dominant over her and has a tendency to chase her and bite her neck to show his dominance! I can’t let this continue as she is smaller than him but for the most part and doesn’t need that frustration every day in her life! Rizzo, her brother, would be a wonderful one family cat because he’s fine around other people, including kids, and especially loves to sit on my laps when I take a nap or sit in the recliner! He’s a loving cat on his own! Best family cat but I can’t let him keep hurting my girl cat ! It’s weird but he loves his sister! Just has a dominance thing going! He would be best in a home with no other cats! He would be a lov
