Story
We found Bob in late October 2025, I brought him in because he was abandoned and it was getting very cold. I was expecting him to stay a few nights and find a rescue for him. But all shelters were full so he has stayed with us. We got him fixed and up to date on vaccines, wormed, and treated for ear mites. Bob is about 11 months old, Since he was a stray we are not sure, going by Vet's estimate We have to rehome Bob because he is special needs and my mother in law is moving in due to serious health issue. She can not be around pets, especially Bob because of his bowel issues, she needs sterile environment Bob is very friendly, playful, loves to come into bed and cuddle up with you. He gets along well with other pets, dogs and cats. Bob has problems controlling his bowels, Vet removed most of his colon, believing Bob suffered from Megacolon, but this did not help is incontinence. Vet has recommended taking Bob to neurologist, with possible nerve issues ( Spina-Bifada)

Story
She’s the sweetest baby once she gets comfortable with you. Unfortunately after 3 years she still hasn’t been able to be with other animals which is why I want her to have a home that is safe and welcoming to living her single cat life. She is 7 years old, loves to play, is a little chunky, and is soooo loving and sweet. She loves to sun bathe and has lots of zoomies. She doesn’t do well at vet visits so she’s had her vaccines before but her vet recommended that we stop bringing her in unless necessary with how stressed she gets at appointments. With her being a strictly indoor cat with no other animals in her area we thought that was the best way to go. I just want her to have more space and time with human interaction instead of being separated from everyone in the basement.

Story
Archie was born on July 28, 2020 and has been with us since he was a kitten. We adopted him from a litter born to a family member. He is up to date on his routine vaccinations (last updated last year). Archie is a calm and independent cat who enjoys cuddling on his own terms. He especially loves sitting on the window sill and watching the outdoors. He is primarily an indoor cat; on the rare occasions he goes outside, he stays close and does not wander far. He is okay around children, but not very playful and usually prefers to keep his distance. Archie also avoids other animals, so he would do best in a quiet, low‑activity home, ideally as the only pet. He is well adjusted to modern conveniences and currently uses an automatic litter box, automatic water dispenser, and an automatic food dispenser with a camera, all of which can go with him to his new home. Archie would be a great companion for someone looking for a low‑key, affectionate cat who enjoys a peaceful environment.
