Story
Brody found my deck after I was attempting to trap a feral cat with food. He talked to me, rubbed my leg and let me pet him while he was eating. I realized this was a kitty who had lived with someone and either was dumped or got lost. So I decided to trap him and get him fixed and get all his shots. The vet kept him for a week to make sure he was healed and well enough to come back to me. She thinks he's about 3 years old. Unfortunately, he is FIV+ and I have a FIV negative cat. The vet has advised me not to keep the cats together because if they get in a fight or exchange bodily fluids my cat is at risk. So he is living in a spare bedroom. Brody is a sweet cat who likes to be brushed and pet. He's very food-motivated. He hasn't been with me long enough for me to know if he wants to be cuddled or held; he loves attention! I've been taking it slowly with him so I dont scare him. I definitely think he'd be great in an only cat situation or a home with other FIV+ cats.

Story
These cats just showed up at our house. We feed them so they won't starve but they can't come inside because of our house cats. These cats are friendly. The solid black one LOVES to be petted and lays in your lap and PURRS!! She follows us everywhere! So SWEET!!! They both deserve better than living outside in the cold. We have cared for them for a while but with the issues their presence creates for the dogs they absolutely must find a home! I do not want to take them to the shelter but if I can't find an adopter, I may have no other choice. The little black one would love to lay in your lap while you read or watch TV. And she purrs so loud! Please consider adopting one of these kitties. They are already spayed! Rabies is up to date and I will provide other vaccines prior to adoption. Please don't let them spend another cold winter outside.

Story
Blu is a very sweet cat that loves people and food 😂 He wants to cuddle and is very vocal when he wants something. He can be mischievous and get into treats before you even realize what he is doing. He is litter trained and loves to play with motion activated toys. His favorite toy is the laser. Unfortunately, with some recent mental health issues and my husband's aversion to cats, I need to rehome him. I love him and want him to go to a family that would allow him to be a cat. He can take a little bit to get used to other cats but does fine eventually. He is terrified of dogs and the broom. We have had him for less than a year so I'm unsure of when his last shots were. Other than that, he is fixed and healthy. I love him and want him to enjoy life, but I just cannot give that to him right now.
