Story
Saint is a loving, active, and playful young cat. She is primarily indoors but has walked around outside a few times. She is very sweet and loves her treats. She is independent and gets acclimated to her safe very well. Loves play time but also doesn't play around her naps. Due to rising costs for myself as a college student, I am no longer able to provide the level of care she needs financially. My priority is to find her a stable, loving home where she can thrive long-term.

Story
I've had Midnight since she was a kitten. It was her and her brother. Unfortunately, they was born in the shelter and he had PIV. He passed six months after I first got them. She has always been very skittish. Takes a while for her to open up. She does not like to be picked up. Midnight is a very vocal girl. She will meow for attention and to play or eat.She loves playing with anything on a fishing rod that has feathers nd strings. Lately, I've noticed she isn't playing with her toys as much. I think she wants a friend. She gets along with other cats. My friends brings her cats by for play dates sometimes. She has a lot of energy to be three. Midnight has asthma and takes an inhaler twice a day. Even though its been a year of me giving her medicine she gives me a hard time. I'm looking to rehome due to medical reasons. I was able to pay for her medical care and make sure her asthma was treated. Now that I have to deal with my issues I will be unable to care fore her.

Story
We;ve had loki since he was a kitten, hes very playful and energetic, we named him loki because he was a very curios kitten always getting into everything and causing trouble, but has since calmed down quite a bit. The reason im considering rehoming him is for some reason he has become hostile to my other cats. Ive tried to do some methods ive found online to help his behavior with the other cats, but it seemingly hasnt worked.

The name is Nelson! Sweet loving and loves to cuddle. Unfortunately I can’t come overseas because most housing don’t allow pets. I’m excellent with people of any and all ages and all other animals as I am truly cats gentle giant. I come with everything including papers verifying I am purebred as well as my cat tower scratching post, bowls and food. I need a permanent and loving home with someone who doesn’t mind me being cuddly. Please do not apply if the price is a problem I am not giving him for $200 or even $500

Story
Meet 21 – Handsome Brown Tabby (1 y/o) 🐾 21 just turned 1 this week! He and his brother, Juke, were rescued together from a neighborhood stray mama cat and have been together since birth. He’s fully vetted: 3 distemper shots (May–July 2025), rabies vaccine, and neutered (Sept 2025). He’s healthy, playful, and sweet, and would thrive in a fun, SAFE, loving home. I would love for him to be adopted with his brother, but I understand if that’s not possible. After a year of trying, my older resident cats have not adjusted, and he deserves a peaceful home where he can truly flourish. Please help give my boy(s) the forever home they deserve. 💛
