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
Brewspurr (Brews) is a nearly 7 year old black cat with one eye. He is an especially cuddly and affectionate boy, and really likes people. He is a very active cat and loves a good feather to chase, a fuzzy mouse to throw around the house, or just a good dustball that was kicked up into the air. We adopted Brews from an animal shelter when he was a few months old and have had him since. We are looking to rehome him due to needing to meet his needs and the needs of our other pets. We have always had 2 older cats, and he has not gotten along well with one of them. Brews is quite sensitive to the atmosphere of the home. He has anxiety that he is medicated for, and this anxiety stems from his issues with the older cat. His anxiety can cause urinary cystitis, that has been well-manages with special diet. However, as the other cats age and have more medical issues, his health and well-being seem to deteriorate as well. He would be best suited in a one cat home.

Story
🐾 Meet Yui 🐾 Yui is a sweet, petite, and talkative 8-year-old kitty looking for her forever home. We took her in from our grandparents when they could no longer care for her and have loved her dearly for the past two years. She has a playful spirit, loves attention, and will happily “chat” with you throughout the day. Sadly, despite our best efforts, Yui hasn’t been able to safely live with our other two cats. She is front-declawed (with back claws) and much smaller, so we worry about her safety. To protect her, she’s been living separately, but she deserves so much more space, freedom, and companionship. Yui would thrive in a home where she can be the only pet or with very gentle animals. She has so much love to give and deserves a safe place to shine. We’ll send her with her favorite toys, litter box (optional), and food bowl. Please reach out if you’re interested in giving this wonderful girl the loving home she deserves!

Story
I adopted my cat almost 3 years ago as a kitten, he’s as sweet as sugar, just has issues with our elderly cat and needs more stimulation. He’s amazing with dogs and kids, but likes to play a bit rough with other cats. He’s never actually hurt our other cat, it’s just too overstimulating for her being elderly. After much debate we’ve decided it would be much better for him to find another loving home and actually get the attention and love he absolutely deserves.

Story
Adopted Scout at 6 weeks from a humane society in MN around 2 years ago. She was raised by a female pit bull. Soon after adoption my late husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer and passed away. Since his passing a year ago, the pit bull has been less tolerant of Scout. It has been increasing worse the last few months. Vet says pittie 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. She loves to zoom and play. 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.

Story
“Muffin” is about to have her babies! They are now looking for their forever families and will be ready for their transition in mid July. The father of the kittens is pure orange (photo #4) very affectionate, soft spoken, and so loving towards other animals alongside Muffin. Videos and pictures will be provided on a regular basis to the parents of each kitten so they can follow their journey from birth and be a part of the process. Feel free to ask questions and hold your place to nab an adorable little addition to your growing family. We are expecting around 5 kittens to be born. They will come to you fully litter trained and completely weaned from their momma. Lots of cuddles.
