Story
Muskie is great with people. He gets along with our dog and bearded dragon. Recently he has been aggressive with our other cats. He uses the litter box. No medical issues. He had a complete work up and everything was normal. He really is a good cat but we just can't keep him. He would do great in a home where he can be the only cat. We bottled fed him and his siblings. His mom got hit by a car. We just want the best for him.

Story
Lucy is a sweet, calm 6-year-old domestic shorthair who has been part of our family for years. She’s spayed, up to date on her vaccines, and sadly, we’re having to find her a new home because we’ll be moving in the future.Lucy is such a sweet girl and really enjoys having a quiet, peaceful space to call her own. She would do best in a calm home where she can have some room to herself and take things at her own pace. She has lived with other cats her whole life and can do well with them once she gets comfortable, but she definitely prefers having her own space.Lucy does have some litter box preferences, and if those needs aren’t met, she may sometimes go outside the box. We want to be honest about that so she can find someone patient and understanding.This is incredibly hard for us because Lucy is loved so much. More than anything, we want her next home to be one where comfortable, and loved for the sweet girl she is 🤍
