Story
I adopted Elita at Dakin in Springfield in 2019. Her birthday is September 25, 2018. She’s very affectionate and highly intelligent. 20 minutes of playtime a day in tunnels, toy at end of wand, light chasing, or throwing toys for her to catch helps her, because she likes to groom. Elita also has a heart murmur that may need one day a heart ultrasound to rule out any illness, but many cats with heart murmurs don’t have any sources of issues with it. I feed Elita Iams healthy adult dry food - she asks for it by going into the kitchen but you’re welcome to feed her 2-3 times a day instead of her preference for grazing a little at a time. It’s best to reach your hand out and have her come to you. She lets kids pet her but she first has to get adjusted and might hide with kids. She doesn’t really cry if in pain or ill so notice any behavior changes if you’re worried like not eating. She will cry a little in cat carrier but not the whole way.I am giving away her fancy tunnels, cat tree, etc.

Story
🧶Lucy is adorable, playful, CUDDLY, sometimes shy, and very gentle—like a kitten in a sweet 6-year-old body. She’s been the love of our lives. She snuggles with her brother but is uncomfortable with our older cat. She is best as an only cat likely, & in a home with people around more, a steady routine. (Or 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 & her bro Merlin are secure together. But she might pee around due to competition. We're not home as much, & while she uses her box most of the time, it's hard to manage with us busier. We adore her & have waited for a loving home that fits her needs.1 person, wanting affection, solo pet, ideal!

Story
Meet Babs, a kitty who simply would not give up. Babs defied the odds and survived both hypothermia and starvation. When she was first brought to us, we feared we might be saying goodbye — but Babs had other plans. Not only did she survive, she truly thrived.Lovely Babs went into foster care where she slowly regained her strength and put on the weight she so desperately needed. Her journey is nothing short of a miracle and a testament to her incredible will to live.Babs is now ready to find a home of her own. She is a sweet love bug who adores attention and enjoys being close to her people. Because she did spray in her foster home, we believe Babs would do best as the only pet in the household, where she can feel secure and not have to share her space with other animals.This busy little lady is looking for a home where she can truly be your bestie. She will thrive with people who have the time to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and enrichment to keep her happy and engaged.After everything she has been through, Babs is more than ready for a fresh start — and a family to call her very own.OTHER PETS: Babs MUST be your one and only pet.OWNER EXPERIENCE: Babs adopter should have kitty experience as she's had a rough beginning with us.KIDS: Babs is best suited for a home with teens and up.ACTIVITY LEVEL: Babs is a busy little lady she suggests if you are looking for a couch potato you should look at other TJO kitties.VETERINARY CARE: Babs is looking forward to meeting her new vet and receiving regular vet care. Babs adopter should have a relationship with a vet.LEVEL OF SOCIALIZATION: Babs is a confident kitty who we expect to move pretty easily into her new home.GROOMING: Babs takes great care of her pretty grey tabby coat.April 28, 2026, 6:49 pm
