Story
The kitten Panther and his sister Sissy were brought to the house by a stray. I took in from the cold two years ago. Their age is under a year. I'm looking for a home that will keep Panther and his sister together. My cat Gavin doesn't like them. That's why I can't keep them. Trying to give Gavin peace. Very playful with each other. Beautiful kittens. He sounds like he is singing when he wants something. Sissy is a female short hair calico. Use Panther profile. She loves to be held. Sissy is smaller than Panther. Likes touching your face with her paw. They both are indoor and outdoor kittens.

She enjoys lying in front of my laptop when I am working and snuggling on the couch in the evening. *Please note: Mochi requires prescription cat food. It is roughly $125 every 3 months.*

Story
Gary is a 5-year-old neutered male I rescued from a farm that didn’t have the resources to care for him. He’s a laid-back, sweet cat whose biggest priorities in life are snacks, naps, and cuddles (on his terms!). He loves chasing a laser pointer and then settling in for long naps wherever he can find a sunny spot, often in my dog’s bed. Gary is affectionate but independent and prefers to initiate attention. When he wants love, he’ll come over for cuddles and give the cutest little sandpaper tongue licks to get your attention. His meow is more of a scratchy squeak, and you’ll definitely hear it when he’s hungry. He’s great with kids and other animals and has lived with cats and a dog. Gary does have feline herpes, which just causes the occasional sneeze and doesn’t seem to bother him. He’s an indoor-only cat, and I’m looking for a loving home where he’ll be cared for and spoiled.

Story
Puzzle is a sweet 6 year old. Once she's decided you are one of her humans, she loves curling up with you to make biscuits. She is not much of a meow-er but, omg can she purr. She loves claiming a spot close to you, she's also very playful. We adopted Puzzle from the Cat Cafe ~2023 and she took a few weeks to adjust to our home, but then everything was great. We moved and changed jobs in July 2025 and unfortunately something about the new hours or schedule doesn't work for her. In spite of trying myriad suggestions from the vet and the internet, she's very anxious and attacking the other cats (she didn't used to do this.) She's been on Prozac about 4 months, but might not need it in a less anxious situation. We are devastated but cannot find a way to decrease her anxiety. She currently doesn't do well with other cats, but she used to, so I don't know if she necessarily needs to be an only cat or not. She may just need people who are home more than we can be now with our new jobs. :(

Story
Billie is a wonderful cat! He enjoys treats, playtime, and sleeping. Although often affectionate, he can also spend a lot of time alone doing his own thing. He is approximately 4-years-old and in great health! While he is a wonderful companion, unfortunately, I am unable to keep him. As such, I will also provide the person who adopts Billie with his cat accessories, including carrier, litter boxes, toys, etc. I'm waiving the adoption fee because all I want is for him to have a good home!
