Story
Stranger showed up about 3 years ago as a young adult. Only in the last 6 months has he let me pet him. He’s now living on my porch seemingly 24/7 and is extremely affectionate. He’s ready to be an indoor boy. He’s never lived indoors and is just learning how to be a domestic cat. He loves to sit on my lap and nuzzle. He used to be very deferential with my 4 cats, but now that he lives on the porch he has become more territorial. I think in a new setting he could adapt to living with other cats. He’s still somewhat wary of new people but quick to warm up. He just had vaccinations and was neutered. He’s very sweet and is ready for a home and even more affection than I can give him with already having 4 cats. It will be an adjustment as he learns how to be a domestic kitty, but I don’t think it would take long. He’s a real love bug and a sweetie.

Born in April 2025. Adopted from Lawrence Humane Society August 2025. Kitten is very sweet and affectionate, and wonderful with young children (5 and 8 year old girls). She gets along with with two dogs. Two older cats are becoming increasingly aggressive towards this kitten, although she has not shown any aggression towards them in return. Responds to this aggression by running away / hiding.

Story
I got Ellie 3 years ago from the Humane Society. She is a cuddly, lively kitty! She is a sassy solo cat that has had some trouble being around other cats, which is unfortunately why we can no longer provide her the best fit home. She is seriously the most cuddly cat ever. Her only medical issue to come up is that she is prone to bladder stones. So I will mix regular Purina pebbles and prescription Hills food, and this does the trick. She does use her claws for play and protection, but it isn't a problem when they're clipped. She loves toys, treats, and her bed. Anything that I've bought her so far, I'll happily give to her new home. Ellie is my first pet, and deserves a loving, safe, wonderful home. I would love to stay in contact/receive updates and pictures if possible.

Story
Scruffy was found outdoors last winter and my nephew did not do a lot of socializing with him. I have worked with him for several months and he is better. He is not a lap cat and has his boundaries you have to respect. He gets along with 7 out of 9 cats we have. I cannot keep him, I’m only allowed 2 cats. He just wants to play and be loved. He loves laser pointers and toys.

Story
Janie was a rescue cat at 6 months old. She has been with just me for the past 3 years. Very quiet home with lots of one on one time with my girl. She is very skittish around loud noises, bags being crumpled, etc. Very, very slow to adjust to strangers. She will need patience as she acclimates to her new surroundings. I am relocating overseas and the trauma of moving her would be more than I would like to put her through. She needs a new quiet home with someone who can give her lots of love. I have a Neakasa automatic litter box that can go with her.

Story
My husband and I are looking to rehome our beautiful cat Cici. Cici is a spunky, vocal and loving black beauty that needs a quiet one cat home to call her own. Cici is 5 years old and has a twin sister named Charli but unfortunately they no longer get a long, and it has turned into a stressful situation for both girls. We believe Cici would do best in a one cat home. She loves to talk, snuggle and lay in sunny windows. We are looking for a kind, loving and patient family or person to adopt this beautiful girl at no charge. Cici is vaccinated, spayed and is house broken. If you are interested please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you, The Ward Family
