Story
My Uncle has been feeding outside cats for years, and 4 feral cats have been living in his yard. "Venus" started coming to a neighbor's house to eat and then to my uncle's house. If she saw me from the neighbor's yard, she would beeline over to me with her tail raised straight up. She got to where she would chase the yard cats away if I was outside. One of the yard cats injured its rear leg, so I wanted to live trap it and get it to a vet to see if anything could be done for him. Venus made that impossible due to her chasing, so I got Venus into the house and into a 4 foot long, 31" tall and 29" wide large animal crate that I bought for a spayed cat to recover in and also to foster a kitten I trapped that got adopted. I took Venus to a vet and turns out she has Feline Leukemia(FeLV). My uncle already has a house cat, so I can't have them mixing together as the FeLV is contagious to other cats. Venus is too nice a cat to live outside or in a crate for the rest of her life.

Story
Stevie was left behind but is the sweetest guy looking for his forever home. He does have some allergies (sneezing only) that flare up as the seasons change but it does pass then he is fine.We do not know how old he is but when we took him for a check up at the vet about the sneezing in the spring they said he was young maybe two.He is playful, loves to snuggle, and enjoys his wet food every day.I will provide two months flea treatment, and some food to go home with.

Story
Zelda is a very sweet girl who loves to cuddle. She was left behind by a neighbor when they abandoned their apartment. They left her inside with the balcony door open, and she amazingly survived for 2 months without human interaction, living off the left behind food and snacks, and the kindness of strangers who threw cat food up onto the balcony. It wasn’t until someone attempted to bust open the door that I realized there was an abandoned cat in the Apartment next to mine, and I fed her through the crack in the door my neighbors made until the landlord finally came by to let her out. She was extremely skinny and malnourished when I took her in, and I simply wanted to foster her until she was back to health. She’s been taken to the vet for her shots and vaccines, I’ve gotten her spayed, and back to a healthy weight. I just cannot keep her as my 2 other cats and her do not get along. She’s super loving to humans but threatened by other cats so I think she deserves a stress free home.

Story
Pikachu and Simba were living in hotel room to hotel room with their mama. Luckily the momma cat found her forever home. The boys get spayed October 20th. They are so funny and playful. Tabby's are the cutest and funniest cats in my opinion. Make them apart of your family🩷
