Story
Katie is a 13-14 year old spayed, dilute calico, low maintenance female cat who is looking for her forever home. She has lived with the same man and woman her entire life but he was recently moved to a nursing home after his wife died and she was not allowed to go with him. I have been fostering her for about 4 months now with the intentions to keep her but she is very distressed by my other two cats. She enjoys the company of my 10 month old baby, my husband, and is okay being near our small 9 pound dog too. All she really wants is a nice big window to curl up in and the occasional lap to snuggle up on. She is a very sweet old lady but gets overwhelmed very easily by the other cats in the house. Katie would do best in a home with no other cats, and preferably no active dogs or children. She is the kind of cat that just likes to relax in her armchair. Katie doesn't really enjoy playing with toys on her own, but will occasionally chase a string toy if you initiate play with her.

Story
We got Cooper from the back of a school after my uncle told my mom about him and ever since then he's lived with us, he's a huge sweetheart and loves people, he has never hurt another animal that I've had and he's a cutie patootie. It breaks my heart to let him go but it's what must be done for him and my other cats.

Story
Meet Me-Ka, she is a beautiful tortie / calico with white feet and almost amber colored eyes. She was left behind from a neighbor that moved and found my back porch as refuge. She let's me pick her up, rolls to give her belly for scratches, clearly she was an owned pet previously. I would love to keep her and bring her in my home, but I currently own 13 cats, and am at my capacity. I hate that she is outside, she wants to run in the house and it breaks my heart to deny it. I am moving to Tennessee in November and can't leave her behind and she deserves a forever home. She's young, about 2, she loves to play, chases me in the yard, and follows me around when I'm doing yard work. I'm in the Chickasaw area of Western Kentucky, there are many dangers for outdoor cats, and I fear for her safety on a daily basis. She is used to being outdoors, so she will require someone with patience and understanding to train her to get readjusted to being an indoor cat. Please adopt Me-Ka!

Story
Oliver has a twin brother, Leo, both are solid black males. They were born on August 27th, 2024 so they are approaching a year old. Oliver likes attention, not so much being held. He like to play and be petted, especially if you're in bed laying down. He was part of a litter that was abandoned with me.

Story
Hi everyone, Im about to move all the way across the country to California via car, and also Ive been having to travel for work a lot lately so I dont really feel Ive been able to be a good cat Dad to my lovely angel Zoe. She is the sweetest cat ever so Im hoping to find a new owner who will be able to be much more attentive to her. She is a very skittish kitty and it seems like she may have had some trauma in her very early life (or shes just really sensitive) so Im looking to find someone who has lots of free time (ideally retired perhaps?) and can offer a very safe and nurturing environment for her. Once she bonds with you shes so sweet and friendly. She loves to sit on your lap and get stomach scratches. Its impossibly cute. Note: I think ideally shed be the only pet in the house. Queen Zoe. Anywho, if you are interested and you know you can offer her lots of attention you all could be a great match! Please feel free to reach out and ask any questions.
