Story
BONDED PAIR -- Must be adopted together. Applications for only one cat will not be considered. Salem came into my life unexpectedly about five years ago. She appeared outside my door when she was around six months old and stayed there for hours. When it became clear no one was coming for her, I took her in and brought her to the vet, where I discovered she was pregnant with two kittens. Casper was one of them. Salem is affectionate, playful, curious, and loves being in your lap. Casper is a little more shy, but incredibly sweet and happiest simply being near you. They have spent their entire lives together and are truly a bonded pair. Due to an upcoming relocation and change in living circumstances, I am looking for a loving, permanent home where they can stay together and continue to be cared for as family.

Story
Lily is a 7 year old cat that we adopted when she was 6 months old. She is very cuddly and loves to get pets. A perfect home for her would be someone that could give her more attention than we are able to. We have 2 little boxes, a cat tree, and a cat carrier that you can have.

Fopsy is a sweet little boy. I've had him since he was a kitten. A stray Moma I took in was already pregnant. He has a lot of energy but also a lot of love. He just wants to play with his toys and cuddle! He's got a bunny tail which is just too cute! Very healthy and sweet I just can't keep all these kittens as they are about 5 months. He will make a great cat for someone. He's never been outside so he does Great indoors!

Story
Peperoni is a lovely 6 year old black cat. She is a head bumper and she will come to you when she is ready. She is very talkative when she wants you to give her iced water. Yes, water with ice in it. And when she wants you to give her a 👊🏼 fist bump (with your hands or your feet) she will throw herself on the ground.She will prefer the attention only for her. She will co- exist with other cats and dogs but will also let them know her territory. She likes to be brushed out. And to be talked to. Pepe is how we call her. She would be happier if she is the only cat around since she is an attention seeker but have lived with all of our rescued ones. We had 11 rescued cats a dog and a fish. Yes we save the fish as well lol. He is now 2.

Story
I took in a very skinny stray calico right before moving from New Orleans. Apparently she was already pregnant at that point and had her kittens as soon as I moved. I love them all and I've been raising them, but I can't keep them all in my neighborhood. Especially since there's many dogs. So I don't feel comfortable having them go outside too much, and five cats is too much. I love them all but they need good homes. I have three white male cats that are 5 months old and need adoption. I really appreciate anyone who will love them as much as I do.
