Story
Meet Rue! The sweetest, kindest, and cuddliest girl who just wants your love. She's incredibly friendly and enjoys being around people, happily soaking up attention and affection whenever she can. Rue has a calm, loving nature and truly just wants to be cherished. Here's a little bit about Rue's story: Rue was known as a neighborhood street cat near an elementary school. When her owner could no longer care for her, she was left outdoors until a kind woman brought her in on a freezing night. Unfortunately, Rue wasn't compatible with her other cats, which led my roommates and me to take her in as a foster. Now, Rue is ready for her forever home! Rue would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal, affectionate cat. She would do best in a pet-free home where she can soak up all the love and attention she deserves.

Story
Cone is about 7-8 months old, and very friendly. He likes to play and is very curious. He is house trained with a litter box and has had no problems on that front. We would love to keep him, but we have two older cats that haven't taken to his presence well and we don't want to keep them together.

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 has never been in a household with children, so I don't believe know about her tolerance to young kids. 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 does love to play so scratching posts and toys are recommended.

Story
Diva came by along my Fence one evening meowing and I gave her a nice pet because she didn’t run away. I would pet her when I saw her every night in my backyard around the same Time for a month. And she never left. I started to feed her because she was extremely skinny. And me and my girlfriend have been taking care of her since September. But she is declawed and she can’t survive. She cannot hunt either. She needs a nice home. She is such a loving cat!
