Story
Papi is a very sweet boy with a sad backstory. When he was a kitten, he was choked by the young toddler he lived with and survived, but we suspect it might have caused some brain damage. He is sweet and loving but is a little dumb. Unfortunately, he needs to be rehomed because we had a baby last year and the baby has been stressing him out. He has become stressed and territorial, has peed in places of our home, and is very unhappy. This is not the cat we knew. He was very happy and loving before the baby. He is happiest cuddling in our arms and is very sad that he does not get to do so these days. Unfortunately, things are not getting better, so we would like to rehome him to a home without young kids. He does like teenagers and is fine with other cats. He also loves when people come to visit and give him belly rubs. We do not know how he would be with dogs. If you like lots of kitty cuddles and watching the actions of a lovably derpy cat, he would be the perfect kitty for you.

Story
My ex partner adopted Frankie 3 years ago and then a year in, changed his mind. I took him in and kept him and his brother at my home. I am not allowed pets in my building but I’ve snuck around this rule. He is a sweet cat, loves the cat tree, doesn’t love any treats but loves food, loves the laser and playing with his brother. I am in the middle of moving and the new place has no animals allowed at all. I’ve tried rehoming him to friends or family and have had zero luck. I would love for him and his brother Willie to stay together and was just avoiding the shelter life as they are the kings at my house. Would love for him and his brother to remain together as an adopted pair

Story
What can I say about Willie, one eyed Willie to be exact. He was a shelter baby that no one wanted but my ex knew he was special. A year later he changed his mind on the two cats he adopted so I took them in. Willie had his eye removed from a tumor behind the eye they told me. This has zero impact on his life. He thinks he’s a dog, a super cuddler, loves his brother, loves treats and to eat, loves his little bed or anywhere soft to lay, loves to roll around. Willie started getting seizures 2 years ago, he’s only about to be 4, but again, this has zero impact on his life. He only has had 3, takes medicine for it and hasn’t had one in over a year. Nothing is done for it besides a yearly checkup and medicine twice a day. He lives life to the fullest Would love for him to stay with his brother as a pair

Story
Scarpia is approximately 10 year old rescue. She was abused as a kitten. I fostered her and fell in love. There isxa black cat on Scarpia’s profile. That’s Boo! She is also a rescue who was severely abused. Scarpia has taken Boo (approximately 6) under her wing. They have bonded. They are very close. I really want to keep them together. They groom each other and sleep together. I’m moving and unable to keep them. Please consider adopting these lovely ladies. They want to be pet and loved. Nothing more😊
