Story
A very good cat just that she doesn’t get along with our dog and we have no time to give her attention. She would be great in a home with someone that’s home most of the time as she just wants to be around her person unfortunately, that’s something that we can’t give her and it’s frustrating for us and her.

Story
I am a cat rescuer and Sebastian was a feral cat I captured 2 years ago that showed up at my home. I had never tried to train a feral cat, so I thought I could domesticate him into the family of 6 domesticated cats I have. He is fine with the cats when I get everyone in for feeding, but he will run all of the cats away outside and fights with the 2 older male cats. He is very territorial. He would be great for a barn cat/pet. He will follow you around like a dog and is very loving. He sleeps on my shoulder with his head on my pillow. I love him, but I can't sacrifice all 6 cats for him anymore. He likes to play--and is still a little rough (very sharp claws.) I was hoping he could be incorporated, but it just isn't working. He is about 4 years old and his shots are due (I just haven't had time to take him with my work schedule and holiday season.)

Story
Chewie is truly a one of a kind, laid-back, intelligent, and delightfully curious kitten who is always ready for a little fun. If you're looking for a gentle companion who brings joy without the chaos, Chewie might just be your perfect match. Chewie is the daughter of our beloved community cat Roxie (also up for adoption- she has been domesticated), and while they'd love to stay together, both adapt well to new environments. Born indoors on April 19, 2025, Chewie has known love and stability from day one. Because she grew up beside her mother, she's extremely well adjusted and amazingly, she never scratches or bites during play. Ever! (I know, it surprises us too!) Named for her adorable resemblance to Chewbacca from Star Wars, Chewie is sweet, social, and ready to settle into a loving home. If you're looking for a gentle, snuggly soft companion, look no further- Chewie is ready to meet you!
