House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Cloe is between 10-12 months. I adopted her in Dec. 2025. She is a very sweet girl. I'm not sure how she would be with other cats or dogs but I feel she would enjoy having another cat to play with. She loves playing with her toys and chasing treats that I toss her way. She is healthy and has all her shots. I took her to the vet again after I adopted her and made sure she was up to date. I would like to keep her but feel she would enjoy being with a family or with someone who could give her more attention. I would include a bag of litter and some of her toys.

This is Dotty, named for the three dots on her back (nickname Mushtagot, because she has a mustache and a goatee). She is curious, affectionate, and playful. We found Dotty, her mom Betty, and three other kittens abandoned out in the country. She is spayed and has her rabies vaccine. She likes to run around the house exploring.

Story
We found Stir Fry outside in our backyard as a kitten before a big freeze, and we have had her in the house ever since. However, she's a very anxious cat and has been scared of everything in our house since she moved in. Two of my three cats do not like her and we'll go out of their way to pick on her, but she did make friends with my older cat. She sticks to him like glue, but we're getting really close to having to make a decision to put him down due to his health. She is a really sweet cat and wants affection, but I have tried everything over the years to make her comfortable in my home, and I don't think my home is the best place for her, especially after we have to put down her friend. Her constant anxiety in my home has caused her to gain weight, but I think it will be corrected after she finds a place where she would be comfortable. She has a really cute chirp when shes asking for attention, loves watching Cat TV, and will do anything for you if you brush her.
