Story
This cat was brought to my house as a small cat, probably 5 mos. and left. I raised her. She loves being inside and loves going outside if allowed. She has kittens who are on their own, on full dry cat food and water. They are probably 3 mos now. I have 3 red ones: one male, two females (with white paws), and one female that looks exactly like her. I am also looking for homes for them. The last 3 pictures are of the kittens. She is such a loving cat. She loves to lay with you, sleep with you. She gets along with other cat, dogs, children. Best thing, she is a great, patient, mouse catcher. So, I am looking for a good home for her, and separate homes for her kittens. Unless of course you'd like one of her kittens too! I am going to be moving so need to find homes for them. If you don't know this, red/ orange/ yellow cats are the most loving cats out there. You'll wonder why you have never had one before!

Story
Meet Cowboy! 🤠🐾Cowboy is a handsome 2-year-old Black Domestic Short Hair cat with a playful personality and a whole lot of charm! He was owner-released and is now ready to ride off into the sunset with his forever family.This sweet boy does wonderfully with kids and other cats, and he’s both house trained and litter box trained. We’re not sure yet how he does with dogs. Cowboy is super affectionate, loves attention, and has a playful streak that makes him irresistible. His favorite toys are springs — he’ll chase them, bat them, and entertain himself (and you!) for ages.Cowboy does have a mischievous side, too… He’ll happily get into any food left out, and he even knows how to open cabinets! With a little Cowboy-proofing, he’ll be the perfect addition to your home.He is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and ready to be adopted!🖤 If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and clever companion, Cowboy is the one for you!Cowboy's Adoption Fee is $27.50 plus taxDogs are $115 and puppies are $110 unless otherwise noted.
