Story
Kenji is a loving, intelligent, emotionally intelligent and curious cat turning 9 yrs old this July. He’s neutered and has a big personality. Originally found on the streets of Bushwick, Brooklyn, he’s comfortable both indoors and outdoors and would thrive in a home with space, ideally with a safe yard to explore. Kenji is affectionate and enjoys companionship. In my 9 years of ownership, he has brought such comfort in my hard times of grief. I was shocked to see him know when would cry. He does well with adults, kids, and other pets after a proper adjustment period. He’s vocal, expressive, and enjoys being a part of whatever is going on. He enjoys chasing, playing, and relaxing outside during nice weather. With his adventurous nature, Kenji may do also well in a farm setting or with someone who enjoys outdoor activities like hiking. We’re looking for a home that can offer him love, attention, and room to explore—and in return, he’ll bring endless laughs, cuddles, & companionship

Story
It is with a tender heart that I’m rehoming my sweet girl, Moti. She is a 4-year-old spayed cat—loving, playful, and full of personality. Moti may be shy at first, but once comfortable she is very affectionate and interactive. She loves back scratches, enjoys belly rubs when she feels safe, and will sleep with you or in her own cozy space. She adores plush blankets and will bring toys to you, “telling” you when it’s time to play as she thoroughly enjoys human interaction. She is very vocal, chunky, and sweet. Important notes: She has had two surgeries from ingesting thin string/fabric, so these types of items are recommended to be kept out of reach. She also tends to swallow dry food WHOLE, so portion control and wet food are ideal for her health. Vaccines are about 3 years old and can be updated. She’s mainly indoor but is curious of outdoors. Rehoming due to a move—hoping for a loving, attentive home. Ideal home is calm and either has her as only pet or 2 other pets maximum.
