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. 💓

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

Story
He was acquired as a Christmas gift. He is around 6 or 7 years old. He would be great in a home with lots of rooms and toys. He was great with my dog and my younger sibling (8) but did not like the newborn. So unfortunately he needs rehomed. I would describe him as goofy and playful most the times

Story
Birdie is a three-year-old cat. She was found as a kitten in our corn crib on our acreage during the bitter cold of winter. We have three dogs and had another cat at the time. We brought her inside and she was an instant companion to our other/older cat. One of our dogs has prey drive so the two cats took over the mudroom and basement. They were great companions. About a year ago our other cat passed away suddenly. Birdie has done fine on her own but since she cannot fully integrate into our house with our dogs she has been a bit lonely. She is friendly with cats and dogs (it is just one of our dogs that isn't so friendly with her, but she reacts very well to her). She is great with our kids. She is so cuddly and loves pets. She uses a litter box and we give her food once a day that she feeds off of intermittently throughout the day. She has a chip and is spayed. She only lived outside for the first few weeks/month of her life and likely would do best in a home where she can be inside.
