Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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.

Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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
Looking to rehome our sweet boy Nimbus, born 12/28/2023. He is incredibly sweet and gentle, enjoys people, and is a healthy little guy. He has a chronic condition called feline hyperesthesia syndrome, and I am unable to dedicate the time needed off from work, or money to offer him the best care possible. He is completely healthy and normal otherwise. Looking for a person or household that can give him more attention than i can, and more space. He has never lived with a dog or children.

Story
Pepper is around 4 years old. She is very friendly and playful. She loves to be pet and is great with other cats. We are sad to be rehoming Pepper but we recently became new parents and Pepper has been exhibiting signs of stress ever since we brought baby home and we aren’t unable to give her the same amount of attention and care. We would love someone with experience with cats previously to take her and love her like she deserves.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Catch is affectionate, talkative, and loves following his person around like a little shadow. He’s playful but also enjoys cuddling, relaxing in sunny spots, and watching the world from a window. Litter-trained and easygoing, he would do best in a calm home where he can be gently introduced to new experiences.
