Story
Misty Looking for Her Forever Home Misty is a sweet, gentle girl who has been with me since she was a baby. She was born September 2023, and is now looking for a loving forever home.She is spayed, microchipped, litter trained, healthy, and up to date on her shots. She is an indoor cat and is very clean and well cared for.Misty is great with kids and babies. She’s a quiet, independent little girl who mostly keeps to herself, but once she feels comfortable, she absolutely loves to cuddle. She can be a little shy and is definitely a scaredy-cat at first, so she may need some time to warm up to a new person and new surroundings.She loves sitting by windows, relaxing, getting cuddles, and of course getting her favorite snacks! 🥰 She also enjoys spending a little time on a balcony while supervised.

Story
Rex is a healthy 12 year-old "Russian Blue" cat...with six toes like Ernest Hemingway's cats! A good mouser. Likes to cuddle in bed at night. Low maintenance: doesn't demand attention. He was happy for 9 years when I lived by myself, then I moved in with a new partner who has a laborador retriever who Rex doesn't get along with. He has been unhappy ever since, so we are seeking a new, caring owner. He would be so happy to have a new kingdom all to himself.

She is mostly lazy and likes to lounge around. Does not like to be held and won't cuddle unless it's in bed at night, then she likes to lay right by your head. Does well about not scratching furniture if you get her a cardboard scratch pad or post (only thing we've noticed she will scratch.) Favorite type of food is salmon flavored food. Doesn't really eat treats. Does well with kids.

Story
Adopted Scout at 6 weeks from a humane society in MN 2 years ago. She was raised by a female American Bully. Soon after adoption my late husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer and passed away. Since his passing a year ago, the dog has been less tolerant of Scout. It has been increasingly worse the last few months. Vet says dog is getting old and more grouchy- no health issues. Due to Scout being young, it felt best to see if another family could adopt her and spoil her rotten.As a tiny kitten she was nicknamed "spicy" by vet due to her tendency to hiss at everything and everyone (it was so cute!). She has grown out of that phase and now just wants to be a single cat with a family who will play with her and give her love. She is a tiny cat. If she wants love, she will run up to you and pet you. She talks a lot and must be included in any activities in the house.Litter box trained- no accidents. Eats well. Loves chicken flavored treats. Loves to "help" in the garden with you.

Story
Kitty is a beautiful, sweet girl who is looking for a loving forever home. She absolutely adores my 6-year-old daughter and has lived with both another cat and a dog. She would need a proper introduction as most cats would to adjust. Kitty is a quiet, easygoing girl who enjoys playing from time to time. She’s not necessarily the type to demand constant attention — she’s more of an “I’ll happily sleep at your feet because I just want to be near you” kind of cat. She does enjoy the occasional lap cuddle and will show you plenty of affection once she trusts you.Unfortunately, our landlord does not allow cats, and as heartbreaking as it is, we are looking to find Kitty a new home as soon as possible. This is absolutely not an easy decision, and we want to make sure she goes to someone who will love her and give her the patience and care she deserves. 😞💕She will come with everything you need and she is due for her shots however I will also pay for those.
