Story
This is our wonderful kitty Kesla to whom I have developed strong allergies. Kesla is now a bit isolated and lonely. This makes us very sad and we would like her to have a new home where she can be well integrated in to a family. She is an indoor cat, in great health,13 years old and declawed. She has lived with dogs but might do best in a dog free home. At her age it can be difficult to introduce her to other cats and she has lived as the only cat for most of her life. She is gentle and affectionate and would be a wonderful low-maintenance companion.

Story
I received this cute boy back in October 2021, at 4 months old. His birthday is June 29, 2021 making him a little over 2.5 years old. Rocco is a very sweet and stubborn boy. Born as the sole survivor of his litter, he develops big attachments. He is super energetic and requires lots of one on one play time throughout the day! I require a home with a lot of knowledge and experience with cats because patience is the #1 thing Rocco needs. He has been in a home with other cats and a dog. He can be very antagonistic but also playful. Rocco does better with dogs than cats, I can imagine he would not do very well with children as he gets overwhelmed. Cuddles in bed are his favorite! He has a strong sense of boundaries and will let you know when he does and doesn't want pets. Rocco has never had an accident outside of his litter box. Very sweet boy who just needs a better structure than I can offer. Most importantly, he works very long hours at the biscuit making factory.

Story
Meet Lewy--which means "left" in the Polish language. His head tilts to the left due to a severe ear infection which had gone undetected and untreated. This fearful kitty is looking for a special home—with a temporary foster, or in a forever home with someone who has experience with kitties like him. He is quite timid, but he loves to be petted; if you put your hand out slowly he will come and rub his head all over your hand while purring. Lewy needs someone patient who will work with him to build his confidence, give him lots of love, and teach him how to play with cat toys. He is FIV positive and he seems to have some hearing loss as a result of his ear infection. We recommend a home with no children, and no other pets.

Story
Who's packed full of sugar, a bit of spice and everything nice?Say hello to Emma!At 3-years-old Emma is an adorable lady packed full of love. When Emma came into our care, she was a little unsure of things. She was a bit spicy, letting us know that she was uncomfortable. But once she settled in, Emma's sweet, loving nature came shining through. She is truly an affectionate lady and greets everyone with a scratchy meow, followed by some rubs against your leg. Emma will gladly accept some soft rubs of her head or under her chin; those are her favorites. But what really brings Emma joy is an empty lap to snuggle into. She is an absolutely crazy cuddler and will nuzzle her head into you. It's Emma's kitty fist-bump to let you know how happy and content she is. Emma will hang out in your lap, purring and snuggling, for as long as you'll allow. This special kitty might enjoy another feline friend in her new home, but she would be just as happy to be the one and only apple of your eye.If you've got an empty lap to fill, then come by and visit with Emma and experience this loving lady. She will truly capture your heart.
