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
Rocco is a gentle, affectionate kitty who loves nothing more than cuddling on the couch and watching TV with his people. He's half Bengal, and true to his lineage, a personality thats more dog than cat. We adopted him as a kitten from a family member who owned his mom, and been a beloved part of our home ever since. He’s wonderfully calm, gets along well with dogs, and has shown exceptional patience with our toddler. We’re heartbroken to be rehoming him, but we’re expecting another baby and moving into a smaller space. With limited room, we won’t be able to keep a litter box safely out of reach of our toddler, and we want to prioritize both Rocco’s comfort and our children safety. He deserves a home where he can continue to thrive, be adored, and stretch out on the couch. If you’re looking for a calm, dog-friendly, toddler tolerant companion, he might be your purfect match.

Story
Koda is a loving, chonky marbled bengal that thrives on affection. Unlike many bengals, he’s lazy and a little bit of a dolt. He only wants to snuggle, play with a chaser occasionally, and sleep in the window. He loves hanging out on his cat tree. He’s VERY cuddly. He will crawl up in your lap and give you massages with his big paws. He greets any visitors like a dog, and is one of the friendliest cats out there. He has no known medical issues. Front declawed. He is scared of kids, but loves everyone and everything else. So no kids for him. He won’t be mean, but he will hide. No large dogs either. He does well with them, but for his own safety, smaller dogs are better. They must be cat friendly. He does not run if he’s being chased. He tolerates baths. He is indoor only, unless outside in a fenced yard with strict supervision. He will chew on plants so best to not have any around, or at least make sure they aren’t toxic. Rehoming free includes all this belongings.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Turk is a mysterious and shy black cat with a wild side that only those who take the time to get to know him will truly appreciate. Named after the spirited gorilla from Disney's Tarzan, Turk is often reserved, preferring to observe the world from a safe distance but underneath his quiet exterior is a heart just waiting to connect with the right family! Turk is still learning that humans aren't all that bad to be around and is looking for a family who will accept him just as he is—quiet, quirky, and full of potential! If you're looking for a low maintenance cat to make the house feel less empty, Turk will show you how wonderful it is to love a cat who’s one-of-a-kind.

Story
Meet Janet — a shy beauty with a story to tell. Janet is a stunning orange kitty with striking eyes, but she’s a bit on the skittish side. She may take some time to warm up to new people and environments, so she’s best suited for a calm, patient home where she can take things at her own pace. While Janet isn’t the cuddliest or most outgoing cat, she has her own quiet charm and enjoys observing the world from a safe, comfortable spot. With the right person who understands her boundaries, she can feel secure and even start to show glimpses of her personality. If you’re looking for a cat who thrives in a peaceful environment and you’re willing to let her come out of her shell in her own time, Janet could be the perfect companion for you.
