Story
This sweet 7-year-old snugglebug is the perfect mix of mellow and playful. Merry loves curling up beside you for cozy naps, but he also has a silly side—he plays fetch like a pro! His favorite pastime is bird-watching from a sunny window, where he’ll happily chirp at his feathered “neighbors.” Merry is looking for a loving home where he can enjoy a soft bed, a good view, and plenty of cuddles. He's good with older kids, but the young ones can make him nervouse. He’ll make a wonderful, affectionate companion for anyone wanting a calm but fun kitty. Owner will cover cost of first vet visit with vaccines as well as provide bag of cat food, cat carrier, and litter bin cabinet.

Story
This goofy boy is 5 years old. I have had him since he was a kitten. He has never been outside. He has lived with dogs and cats most of his life. We believe that he has some Maine Coon blood as he is a larger cat. He likes to play with dangly things and especially loves the little stuffed mice toys. Lafitte would do best in a home without young children. While he can be very affectionate, it usually needs to be on his terms. He does warm up to strangers pretty quickly, but would need a few days to fully acclimate to a new household.

Story
**Would prefer these two stay together but not required. I am willing to drive to the right home (distance depending) for their adoption.** Angel (white nose) is between 5-6 years old. She is a lazy, independent girl that tolerates cats and dogs but is not overly affectionate. Still, she will play when in the mood. String is her only true weakness and she cannot resist play when it appears. She is quite shy at first and needs time to adjust. She does not like being held (unless being pet) and is not very patient beyond her boundaries, so I don't believe a house with children would be best. Voodoo (black nose) is about 3 years old. She is quite skiddish in general. But with time/space, she becomes more comfortable with being herself and trusting others. She is a very friendly cat with both dogs and cats and would make a good family pet. However, Voodoo is really playful so scratching posts, cat towers/trees, toys, and children that know how to navigate cat claws are recommended.

Story
Pippin is a gentle 7-year-old boy with a soft heart and an even softer belly—one he’ll happily offer once he feels safe with you. He may be shy at first, but give him a little time and he blossoms into a sweet, snuggly companion. His favorite way to bond? Belly rubs. Lots of them. Once he trusts you, he’ll curl up beside you and soak up all the affection you’re willing to give. He is good with older kids, but the young ones can make him nervous. If you’re looking for a calm, loving cat who just needs patience and kindness to shine, Pippin is your guy. Owner will cover cost of first vet visit with vaccines as well as provide bag of cat food, cat carrier, and litter bin cabinet.
