Story
Princess is a 10-month-old cat born on June 5, 2025. She’s sweet, playful, and full of energy. She’s more independent and not a big cuddler, especially with younger kids, and may run off when things get too busy—but she’s starting to come around more each day. She would do best in a calmer home or with someone who understands that she just needs a little time and space to feel comfortable. Once she trusts you, she has a gentle and loving personality. This wasn’t an easy decision, and we just want to find her a safe, patient, and loving home where she can thrive.

Story
I am listing Chai because my living situation has drastically changed as well as my health. I am disabled and no longer able to care for her and she’s not getting the care she needs and doesn’t care for other pets. So because of that she needs a home without pets or small children. She’s very loyal and loves to be near you but head scritches are her favorite. She comes with everything she needs and has had recent veterinary care in the last week. She needs to be an only pet with a responsible owner who can make sure she always has a clean box, fresh water, and food in her bowl. She free feeds and has her whole life. She is one of those that hates if she can see the bottom and will let you know. She got such a mischievous little personality. I know it will take time to adjust but she’s a fun loving cat. I have everything she needs to go to her new home with. I really hope someone can take a chance on her because I’m terrified of having to take her to the shelter. She deserves better.

Snowball has been part of the family since September of 2023 and has been a great cat. She shared a home with a tabby cat most of her life, however, due to a divorce and my travel schedule i can no longer keep her. I have 3 young kids and she’s amazing with the children. She’ been inside all her life and is litter box trained. Please take Snowball to a good home!! James

Story
Frankie was a stray I found sitting on my AC unit one night years ago. He was starving and needed someone to love him. He’s been with me for 3 years now, and has been nothing but sweet. He is litter box trained, great with strangers, and the ultimate lap cat. I have had a lot of life changes including moving in with my partner who is extremely allergic. Frankie deserves someone who can spend more time with him than I can, as he is staying with a friend of mine until I can give him another home. Please reach out if you have any questions. Rehoming fee is just to secure his safety.

Story
Bob Ross always said "You have to have darkness in order to show light." I escaped from the darkness of cruel confinement, but that doesn't even matter now, because there is sunshine on my horizon!I've got a great foster mom who is teaching me how to play with toys, but I like to try and tackle your arms with gentle grabs and nips. Sometimes I may chase you and grab your legs, but my absolute FAVORITE are toys with feathers, and I like to jump up in the air to catch them.I'm affectionate and LOVE lap snuggles. The vet says I'm a Manx mix, as I was born without a tail. I'm very vocal and we can have long conversations about anything! I LOVE to eat and will let you know if I'm out of food. My favorite toys are the ones with feathers, and I like to jump up in the air to catch them.I'm absolutely petrified of other cats, but I get along fine with my 75 pound lab foster dog brother. I've made it this far, so I must be destined to be someone's loving new best friend.

Story
Eloise is a three-year-old cat that was born in a stray litter, in downtown Kansas City, on my friend's front porch. I've had her since she was a baby, but unfortunately she has never been fully potty trained. I've tried *everything* to change this, short of pharmaceutical anxiety medication and more medical examinations, which possibly would resolve her issues but has always been out of reach financially for us. We just had a baby and I no longer have the energy to clean up her pee and poop off the floor every day. She's currently sequestered because she has about five places around the house that she pees in, no matter how often I shampoo the carpets and use every product invented to keep her away from them. Eloise is extremely affectionate and sweet. If you think you might be able to address her behavioral issues, please consider reaching out. She's been my whole world and I want her to have the life she deserves.
