Story
She's a very loving cat. Loves attention. Very playful. Is under 2 years old. She was found wandering my apartment building a few months ago and just hasn't settled in with my other cats. She might get alone with a family who has one or two cats, but I have way more than that.

Story
Bubby is a sweet affectionate boy with a cute little meow. He is obsessed with getting pets and butt scratches and is a playful curious boy once he gets comfortable. He’s pretty jumpy/easy to scare— he’s been this way since he was a stray kitty I found roaming around my apartment back in 2022. He is a wobbly cat who can’t really move like most cats. He can’t jump very high, doesn’t like heights, stomps instead of strolls, and tends to fall over quite a bit. He’s very strong and happy— he’s used to being clumsy and doesn’t even react when he has his moments! He doesn’t require much additional care, just be aware that he needs to be able to climb things instead of jumping for the most part, he needs a large covered litter box, and things like cat trees may need to be adjusted so that he has adequate space to balance himself. He’s also a very greedy boy! He has 0 behavioral issues and is a wonderful pet— I just can’t give him the time and attention he needs anymore unfortunately. Age: 4

Story
She was abandoned by my neighbors and just ran into our house and slept on my recliner. So we decided to keep her. She is a very sweet cat will find any excuse lay down on your lap or chest. Only reason im re homing her is because she'll pee outside of the litter box and our new place won't allow anymore pets. I believe she would be happier in a smaller family maybe 1 dog or cat.

Story
Bruce is a 6-year-old boy. He loves attention and food. He loves the string on a pole toy and boxes. He hasnt had much experience with children - and has never met a dog before. I have had him since he was a kitten, he used to be the runt but has overgrown himself! He has always had the company of another older cat. As he has grown in size so has his Alpha traits and tends to bully and stalk my other cat. I have to separate them often which causes anxiety and frustration in my house. I feel that Bruce needs to be the only cat in a home. He is truly loving when he wants to be. But he gets jealous when attention is given to the other cat and hovers constantly. Thankfully there are no litter box issues. I will be moving soon and feel that Bruce needs to find a new person too. As a single person, I just cannot afford my next dwelling to be big enough for the 3 of us - as I need a separate room just to keep them apart. Please help!
