Story
Tilly was a stray that we took in. She's a very sweet cat, but unfortunately doesn't get along well with our other cat so we are looking for a new home. She would do well in a quieter home, without other animals and probably without young children. We've taken good care of her in terms of vet visits, etc, with last visit 2 months ago. We'd be very happy to answer other questions - thanks!

Story
Meet your new bestie! Charlie is a wonderful cat. She is 8-9 years young and very healthy (and insured). Need company while you watch tv? She’s your girl. Someone to come over when you’re feeling sad? Charlie will. We are sadly rehoming her because she is being bullied by two of the cats in the house. She would thrive as the only pet but I am willing to assess whether a very chill other cat or dog could work. If kids, older and very respectful - she is safe with our infant (always supervised), but does not like crying or erratic movements. Charlie will time to warm up but once she does, she is the most loving cat. She is a not cuddly girl but she will happily lie near you on a bed or in a sunny spot, coming over for occasional nuzzles, poking you gently with her paw for some attention. Seeking an experienced cat owner who is willing to be patient - you will be rewarded with the best and most loyal cat who loves you with all her heart. Contact for any questions or for a meet and greet.

Story
Hi! My name is Luna. I am a very sweet 2-3 year old cat. I had a sad start to life as a street cat but I was rescued and brought to my family with them from Honduras. They have a new baby and because they love me, they can see it’s feeling a little stressful for me at home between the baby and other animals! I am a very healthy girl. I love other cats and would really enjoy a kitty brother or sister who wants to play with me. Sometimes I am so excited that I give little love nibbles and my pawrents are looking for someone experienced in redirecting the behaviors in a positive reinforcement-only way. I would be fine with older kids or a very calm dog. My favorite things to do are curl up on your lap or chase a wand - or sleep in a sun patch! Could you be my forever family?

Story
Are you ready to meet the most charismatic cat of your life? Milo is such a gem - social, confident, lovable, cuddly. We are sadly looking to rehome because as he became an adult, he let us know that he wants to be a solo cat and we have multiple others. Milo is great with (and loves!) dogs, and very sweet with our infant. He has asthma and is on a urinary diet but both are well controlled. We can go over his health history with any potential adopters but he has been very well-maintained and cared for, and he is healthy. Milo takes an anti anxiety med that he may not need in a home without other cats. Anyone who adopts him should be prepared to keep up with his asthma pills and urinary diet but meet him and I promise you’ll be charmed by this extremely charismatic handsome dude! Even if you aren't sure, put in an app and we would love to have a conversation to see if it's a fit. Open to foster to adopt.

Story
Grimm wants to be part of the action! He has the LOUDEST purr and his fave thing is snuggling under the covers or jumping in my lap and smothering me with head butts. He is a MANIAC about food - he will eat anything and everything, you can't ever leave people food out and expect him to leave it alone....the solution is to put him in another room while preparing/eating food. He loves to play and loves leaping in the air if you throw little furry mice. He gets along great with people and md/lg dogs, but is very aggressive with other cats. He would need to always be an only cat, and not live with small animals like rabbits/ferrets/birds etc. I have a 2nd cat and after trying for 2.5 years to integrate them, they will not get along so it is with a heavy heart that I must rehome Grimm, my gorgeous big boy. He could live with older kids who respect him, and he actually loves dogs!

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Cali came into our care when she was surrendered by her family, hoping we could find another family with more time for her. She has a big personality, including very sweet times, playful times, and times she wants absolutely nothing to do with anyone (and she'll tell you, first with body language, then with her teeth, though she has shown much improvement through care at the shelter). Additionally, Cali has occasional digestive upset, for which she eats a specialized diet. Cali needs an experienced cat owner, who will learn her mannerisms, respect her boundaries, and love her when she wants to be loved. Cali would not do well around children or other cats. *Cali has a known bite history and her adopter would need to sign an acknowledgement of it.
