Story
Whispurr is a relatively shy cat, but she gets very sweet and affectionate once she warms up to you. She is fairly independent and doesn't need constant attention, but she does need some throughout the day. Some recent health issues of mine and frequent travel have left me unable to give Whispurr the amount of attention she deservers, and I'm hoping to find a home where she can be more fulfilled. Whispurr got along well with two other cats in a previous household, although she does not like dogs. In my opinion, she also does well as the only pet in a household as long as she gets attention periodically. Whispurr isn't a lap cat and doesn't like being held for very long. She also prefers to spend nights on her own and won't stay on the bed through the night, although she will visit for a while when you first get into bed (once she warms up to you). As far as behavior goes, Whispurr is a good pet. She doesn't scratch furniture or make excessive noise.

Story
Hi, i’m Beetle! I’m around 4 years old and I was a stray my whole life until someone brought me to the shelter, and I was adopted about 2 months later. I fell in love with Beetle right away and there wasn’t really much information on her, but I was willing to take her in and give her a nice life finally after being outside. She’s EXTREMELY active and requires a lot of enrichment. She does not do well with dogs at all. We’ve been trying for almost 6 months with our 2 dogs and there has been no progress at all. I have an older cat who’s 8 and has bad asthma, Beetle will chase and attack her 24/7. It’s making cat’s asthma a lot worse. I recommend a home with NO other pets and a very attentive owner OR a home with a VERY active playful younger cat. She can be very destructive and I’ve deterred some of that by having cardboard boxes around, but unfortunately the carpet still gets ripped out or the walls get scratched up.

Story
Athena is a beautiful and sweet cat that I've owned for the last ten years. She's incredibly friendly and loves everyone. She loves nothing more than to sit in your lap while you work, watch a movie, or sit down at the table. She doesn't really enjoy being picked up, but not to worry, she's always ready to receive affection. My current living situation simply doesn't allow for a cat right now, and I'd love it if she could go to a home that's going to show her the time and attention she deserves. It breaks my heart to have to part with her, but it's what is best for her. I hope she goes to a loving home that will give her endless pets and treats.
