Story
Looking for a loving home for our sweet Zumi 🖤Meet Zumi — a handsome 6-year-old black shorthair with the softest coat, bright green-yellow eyes, and a little white patch on his chest. He's neutered, fully vaccinated (no microchip), and in great health.Zumi has the kind of quiet, regal energy that makes a house feel like home. He's gentle with other pets — he's been an absolute sweetheart with our 16-year-old dog, basically acting like his parent. In the mornings, he loves to chat with you and politely (or not so politely) remind you it's breakfast time. Otherwise, he's calm and easygoing: happy curled up on a cushion, lounging in a sunbeam, or supervising from the kitchen table.We sadly can't keep him, and we want to make sure he goes to a kind person or family who will give him the love he deserves.If you're interested, please send a message and tell me a little about your home. Happy to chat and meet in person. 💛

Story
Arriving during the pandemic, Cappuccino wasn't an "instant coffee" cat. He was a slow-pour - initially shy, watching from the shadows until he decided the humans met his standards. Once caution settled, he revealed his true flavor: a playful, deeply affectionate explorer who treats the home as his personal kingdom.An elite athlete, Cappuccino is an excellent jumper, scaling heights with ease to survey his domain. He is also a connoisseur of the "clink," preferring "industrial" toys like metallic pins and paperclips; feathers are welcomed as well. A natural investigator, a dedicated digger, he even loves splashing and playing with water.He is happy to be held but prefers to set the pace. He’ll sit loyally by your side, but he decides exactly when the petting session begins and ends. While he loves the luxury of being brushed, he has a strict "no cut" policy. He fully embraces high-tech living - like his automated feeder and litter box - proving he is a modern cat for a modern home.

Story
Shadow is 17 and acts half his age. We inherited him when my mother passed last fall. He is very loving and needs a lot of attention. The best situation would be someone who is home most of the time. He has a thyroid condition and takes a pill a day (willingly, stuffed inside a treat!) He has never been around other animals and I don't know how he would be around small children. He mostly ignored the great grandchildren when they visited my mother. He is very giving and affectionate one-on-one. Our spring/summer/fall travel back and forth to NH is the reason to find him another home. We don't think bringing him back and forth would be a good idea.

Story
I have a beautiful super friendly and affectionate long hair tortoiseshell female cat for rehoming. She has soft and silky long fur in black and orange colors. She loves to be with people, gentle to kids and other small animals (I had chicks before). She is 5 years old, very healthy. I have her full spray and vaccinates records. She is ok to stay home alone by herself when I am away, but she could be happier with a loving person or family that she can meet every day. With a small rehoming fee, I will include all her belongs including tree tower, bed house, litter box, carrier, toys, tons of cat food and snacks etc to help her feel comfortable and familiar in her new home.
