Hello! Looking for good family to adopt this amazing cat. He’s social, great with children and other cats! Unfortunately due to my new routine I’m barely home, I realize it’s healthier for him to have more social connection. Serious inquiries only!

Story
Grayson is a Russian Blue and a little over a year old. Rory is a small grey and white boy about 9 months old. They are bonded but not brothers. Grayson and Rory were abandoned with 15 other cats on a rural property. They were adopted by a couple that ended up being unable to keep them. We have been fostering them for 2 1/2 months. Although they spent a couple months outside they are very much indoor cats. They are very docile, playful, and cuddly. They love food, treats, and rope. They are very cuddly and well behaved. Grayson was treated for a cut and he was the perfect patient. They have both been treated for ear mites, are up-to-date on their vaccines, and were recently seen by a vet for a check-up. They are not neutered but we would be happy to help with this process. Overall they are two snuggly boys who just want love and a warm bed.

Story
Mew is a loving cat that needs a loving home. She will be 12-years-old in May of this year (2026), and I so want to find a good home for her. She would thrive in the right place. Mew joined our family of 3 (my husband, my daughter, myself) in May of 2014. We had another cat at the time, but, unfortunately, that cat died about 3 years ago. My daughter moved away, my husband died, and now it's just Mew and me. She loves sitting next to me, getting petted and brushed. She is a vocal cat, and that is how she got her name. She "mews" to let you know what she needs. She also likes to play with wand cat toys and laser pointers. Overall, she is a very easy-to-care-for pet. She is an indoor/outdoor cat, which is one big reason why I cannot take her with me in my move to an urban setting where she would not be able to go outside and would not do well. I am very sad to have to say goodbye to her, but want the best for her. Please consider adopting Mew; she will enrich your life!
