Story
Hello this is Bella. She’s about 4 years old. Got her in 2021. I have had her since she was a few weeks old. Unfortunately my new born is allergic so we must rehome her. She’s quiet, somewhat of a ninja lol. She loves to cuddle and be rubbed. She has had 5 litters within our time together with our male cat. She is strictly indoor! She has never been outside besides being brought home. She is house trained. Bella is small but long! Her favorite food is MeowMix Tender Centers or wet food mixed with the dry food. She’s only had one owner (me) so I’m hoping she can be with someone who plans to keep a cat for the long run. She has never had any health issues in my care. She recently gave birth 5th litter) so I’d love to see her gain some weight! She may be spayed by the time she gets adopted depending how soon we find a home. We hope to have some communication on how she’s doing once in a blue if the adoptee is up for that. I feel she would be good with someone older and not too busy.

Story
🧶Lucy is adorable, playful, sometimes shy, and very gentle—like a kitten in a sweet 5-year-old body. She’s been the love of our lives. She snuggles with her brother but is uncomfortable with our older cat, so she may do best as an only cat or in a home with people around more, a steady routine, or even a mostly-outdoor/unique setup. 🐈‍⬛ Her challenge is occasional peeing outside the litter box. The vet believes it’s behavioral—loneliness, late meals, or territorial stress. She has her own box for pee, cleaned daily, and uses it, mostly reliably. She’s had a couple mild UTIs that respond well to meds, sometimes with a spot of blood, but further tests are costly. (Less than 1x/ year) 🐾She and her brother may feel more secure together; we’re open to rehoming them as a pair. We aren’t home as much now, and while she uses her box most of the time, the issue has become hard to manage. We adore her and hope she finds a home that fits her needs.

She loves soft cuddles, calm company, and spending time gazing out the window, watching the world go by.

She is hoping for a quiet home and a kind heart to help her feel safe again.OTHER PETS: Samantha would be happiest as your only pet.OWNER EXPERIENCE: Samantha's adopter must be experienced with having a kitty needing to make a major life change.KIDS: Samantha is best suited for a quiet adult only home.ACTIVITY LEVEL: Samantha is the queen of couch potato's.VETERINARY CARE: Being a senior girl, Samantha may need vet care a little more frequently.LEVEL OF SOCIALIZATION: Samantha will need time to adjust to her new family and home.GROOMING: Samantha will need regular brushing to keep her coat mat free.January 13, 2026, 3:00 pm
