Story
Aki is a great cat who is very low maintenance. He is usually relaxed and enjoys a good head and cheek rub, but can nip a little when overstimulated. We adopted Aki as a kitten 6 years ago from a barn litter up in Maine with the intent to have him be an indoor/outdoor cat. This has been great for him as he likes the outdoors and does not need to use the litter box during the spring, fall and winter. The problem that has arisen this summer is that he has become an extremely avid hunter. While this has been terrific for controlling rats and mice, he will often range into all of our nearby neighbors' yards and leave a substantial number of dead rabbits behind. We would love to keep him here but we know he would be unhappy as an indoor cat. We're looking for a home where he could happily roam outside with more room to keep from traumatizing the neighbors.

Story
She is 4 years old, very healthy and active. She is always curious about where you are and what you're doing but still wants to be left alone. She is social and gets along with strangers or acquaintances. She shows affection in her own way: she loves to sleep next to your feet at night and comes to you when you call her name. She isnt always a lap cat but if she is fed and the house is cold, she will definitely use a portion of your blanket. She is okay with kids but usually tries to avoid them. She has never scratched my toddler. She is a huge foodie and will often ask you for a bite of whatever you're eating.

I'm looking for a loving home where I can enjoy plenty of attention and affection. I love relaxing with my people and get along well with other cats. Dogs make me nervous, so I'd be happiest in a home without them. 9296
