Story
Tammy is a very playful and sweet kitten. I got her from someone I don't really know. She wanted me to take care of her for a while, but I haven't heard from her since, and I can't keep her anymore because I'm having a baby soon and I don't know how Tammy will react to my baby since she's so playful. I want a Family who can protect and love her.

Story
Looking to Rehome Our Two Siamese Cats – Must Stay Together This is a very hard post to write, but due to my daughter’s allergies, and another child on the way, we need to find a new loving home for our two indoor Siamese cats, Benny and Winston.  Winston is striking chocolate point and Benny is a sweet flame point. Both are neutered, healthy, and fully up to date on vaccinations. Located Raleigh/Durham NC  They are brothers, almost 3 years old, full of energy, and deeply bonded . They must stay together! They are both super sweet, affectionate, and love to cuddle (when they’re not climbing to the highest spot in the house!). Benny is a little shy and doesn’t like being picked up, but he’ll happily snuggle up next to you on his own terms. They’re indoor-only cats, and because they love to jump and explore, a house would be better than an apartment. We’re heartbroken to let them go, so we’re looking for a caring, stable home that will give them the attention and space they need.

Story
I got Roman when he was a kitten. He is 10 years old, neutered and healthy. He has slowly become a lap cat and more cuddle as he’s gotten older. He loves to play. Any toy on a string is his favorite. He would do well in a home with other cats, a dog or children. He is super sweet and loves treats.

Story
I got Jäger when she was a kitten. She is 11 years old, spayed and healthy. She has never had any health issues. Jäger is sweet and loves to cuddle. She will play with toys but only by herself when you’re not watching. She would do well alone, with another cat or with a dog. She is generally very chill and cuddly.

Story
Kisa is the sweetest little pumpkin at just 8 lbs! I am helping her find a permanent home after someone in my community was no longer able to care for her. Kisa loves people, she really has never met a stranger. She loves to sit right beside you, get pets, chin scritches, or ride on your shoulders if you let her. She is also good at entertaining herself. She's a chill cat. She also is pretty trainable and at points has been trained to high five or jump into her cat stroller, etc. She is good with children and is patient with other cats, although I am not sure about dogs. She is very clean and fastidious and I have never had issues with accidents or any problems related to using the litterbox. She is also a breeze at the vet. One callout: Kisa must be a completely indoor car. She is allergic to anything pine-related as it makes her fur fall out.
