Story
6 years old. Cloud loves attention and pets. He also loves butt spanks and pats. Anytime he sees a hand, he just wants to be petted. He is a very affectionate cat but also very vocal and chatty. He enjoys laser toys, watching birds, squirrels, and laying on designated areas in the home. He is a very chonky cat. Unfortunately, his mother was diagnosed with early Alzheimers so she tends to overfeed at times. I believe that he needs a loving home that is able to give him the attention and care that he deserves. I can't find any of his paper work at his home but he is fixed. He is playful with other cats and sociable. Eats Friskies wet food seafood and chicken variety. Purina cat chow for indoor cats. Prefer those who are experienced with owning cats.UPDATE: the urgency to rehome has increased. His mother can no longer care for him and has progressed to severe dementia and needing 24/7 support at a facility & can't be home. Reactivating his account again, hoping for a chance.

Story
Missy is the sweetest girl. She loves head bunting, head pets, brushing, and laser toys. She was raised as an indoor cat only but loves window watching and talking to birds. She is talkative but won't wake you.She is mainly independent but I've noticed she'll follow you and give you attention when she is ready. She'll lay on your chest and give the most therapeutic purrs. Unfortunately due to the living circumstances with an elderly mother with early Alzheimers I believe she needs a lot more care than she's getting now. I have not been able to find any paperwork for her in her home but she is fixed. Eats Friskies wet food seafood and chicken variety and Purina cat chow for indoor cats. Just want a loving home with someone experienced with cats. UPDATE: the urgency to rehome has increased. Her mother can no longer care for her and has progressed to severe dementia and needing 24/7 support at a facility& can't be home. Reactivating account, Just hoping for a chance. Atleast 10 years old

Story
This is Kitty Softpaws named by my nephews after the character on Puss in Boots. We’re only giving her up because we have family members with really bad cat allergies. She’s afraid of new dogs but can eventually be ok with them. She’s an outdoor cat and usually comes to the door or window and meows to be let in for food and water. She’s super chill and doesn't require much attention. She just needs a door person and food for the most part, but will ask for cuddles from time to time. Hoping to find her a good home with a nice yard to explore or someone willing to put in the effort of making her an indoor cat.

Story
This slender beautiful lady is Sassafras - a 2-year-old Calico DSH. She is done with the responsibilities of being a young mother and is ready for a new life of luxury and independence furr-ever! Sassafras is incredibly clever, fearless, and curious. She is also very playful, affectionate, and sociable; so the constraints of foster life have not been for her – sheneeds more human attention, interaction and space to roam. She would appreciate a home with cat loving humans who are not “grabby” and will respect her quiet time when she wants it(recommend 12 years of age and older). Sassafras is FeLV negative, up to date on her vaccines, uses the litter box at all times,and exercises good nail etiquette by only using a cardboard scratching box.  See her video here: https://youtu.be/YQQ6qruZlm4?si=OK9ZT8soIF3LajOR ##2451234##

Story
Meet Rasputin — the Rootin’ Tootin’ Rasputin himself! (Also answering to Ras, Rassy-poo, and Raspoopin’ when he’s feeling extra silly… or extra stinky )   At just 3 weeks old and a mere 0.86 lbs, Rasputin faced the deadly Panleukopenia virus — and won. This tiny fighter pulled through like an absolute champ, and today he’s a thriving 9-week-old kitten with a clean bill of health, a full belly, and plenty of pep in his toe beans. Now over 2 lbs and growing fast, he’s ready to trade his survival story for a forever-home love story.   Personality & Playfulness: Rasputin is a tough little man with a soft heart. He plays beautifully with other cats, both young and old, and enjoys joining in on tag, chase, and general kitten chaos. Sometimes he prefers to sit back and watch the big kids play — he’s an observer and a participant, depending on his mood.   This boy loves his food. If another kitty gets too close to his plate, he might give a few “grumbly nom noms” to remind them of his boundaries, but it’s all harmless and pretty adorable.   His absolute favorite toy? The wand toy. Wave it once, and you’ll have Rasputin’s full attention.   Ready for Adoption: Rasputin is scheduled to be neutered on December 4th and will be all set for adoption shortly after. This brave, goofy, big-hearted survivor is ready to bring joy, laughs, and a whole lot of love to his forever family.   Could Rasputin be your tiny hero with a big personality?  ##2547372##
