Story
Squeak is a super sweet girl who goes crazy for head and chin scratches. She was born to feral mother in my backyard and was taken indoors shortly after birth, along with her mother and siblings. I gave her the name "Squeak" because of the small squeaky meow she had as a baby. She is playful, but does not have a "bouncing off the walls" personality; she prefers spending most of the day stretched across a blanket. She enjoys hiding beneath curtains and under your legs when you're seated in a chair. Squeak is independent and prefers human companionship over that of other cats; she could thrive in a household without other animals as long as there is a loving human there to scratch her head.

Tux was born March 2025 outside in the cold to a feral mom. He has been inside with his siblings since he was born.

He loves attention and will happily come sit on your lap for an extended period of time. He loves to hang out with other humans much more than with other cats. He will bonk his siblings out of the way for pets and honestly good for him.

Story
3 Years ago I went to the animal shelter in search of a cat. Upon sitting down this cat climbed in my lap purred and swatted all other cats away. He wanted to be adopted. Crook is a unique cat that would be satisfied to be on a lap and cuddle with his owner 24/7. It is because of this need for attention that I have elected to look for a new home for my cat. He is calm, laid -back and gentle. He just loves to be held. In many ways Crook acts more like a dog than a cat. He loves all ages and all people and does not know a stranger. He would be a perfect service animal for older adult or one who is struggling with anxiety. He simply just wants to be held and be close. He is a perfect lap cat. I want to find a new home for my cat who can provide all the love and touch that he desires. If you want a beautiful cat that will love you unconditionally, then Crook is your perfect cat.
