Story
Max found her way to my door screaming and crying for food and to be let inside. She was fine with humans which led me to believe she had an owner, maybe she was lost. Found the owner on a local rehoming cat page. Turns out he moved and abandoned her, leaving her to starve. Her ribs and hip bones were showing. Poor girl just wanted food and shelter. From the post, we know her name is Max (we call her Maxine) and she is 5 years old. We are assuming that she was abused or mistreated because she doesn’t like to be handled roughly and is very picky on how she can be pet. She will bite you if you pet her wrong. We had to transition her outside (bc we have a new foster cat) and she really does not like it outside. She prefers indoors. With all this being said, she is the easiest cat I’ve ever taken care of. She wants attention for 5 mins then will do her own thing. She does prefer soft food, she mainly eats and sleeps. She uses the litter box (has never had an accident since we found her)!

Story
Maestro was found in 2019 by my grandmother, who lived in Florida at the time with my family. He was rescued and lived with them until my grandmother left Florida in 2025 and he was brought home to live with my dad and I. Unfortunately, as my grandmother ages she is unable to care for him, and my dad and I are too busy to do so as well. He is a very playful, vocal, and sweet cat. He loves to go outside but is very skittish and avoids loud noises (he doesn't go anywhere near the road) he is a very adventurous cat and loves to wander, and isn't much of a cuddle bug but loves to be pet. We are looking for a responsible and experienced pet owner to adopt him, and give him the home he deserves. As he is an indoor/outdoor cat, the vet recommended revolution plus for him once a month as he is prone to ear mites

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Kai, a handsome 6-year-old grey tabby and the definition of a low-maintenance companion. If you want an expert house cat who has mastered the art of relaxation, Kai is your guy. He is incredibly affectionate and, like his brother Kit, he is a professional lap warmer who loves to follow his people around. Kai is a mellow, well-behaved boy who is past the stage of kitten chaos. Adopting him with Kit is truly "easy-mode" pet ownership; because they are a bonded pair, they entertain and comfort each other. This means they are less work than a single cat and won't depend on you for constant entertainment. Kai is already fixed, 100% house-trained, and has excellent manners. He is healthy, social, and completely move-in ready for a busy household or anyone wanting an instant family.
