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 them. He is very territorial. He would be a great pet if he is the only outside cat. He will follow you around like a dog and is very loving (lap cat for sure). 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.

Story
Buzz is a shy but lovable cat that needs to be rehoused due to a change in personal circumstance. He is litter trained, eats dry food for most meals and wet once a day. He gets along well with small dogs when he feels like it, and is just fine with other cats. He’s smart, but never did play well with the toys I would get him. I hope that I can find him a good owner soon so that he won’t have to spend time waiting at a shelter.

Story
If you've ever loved a truly special orange tabby- the affectionate, loyal kind who feels like family, Sherbert is the cat you've been waiting for. He's incredibly social, loving, and happiest when he's close to people. Sherbert found his way to us as an outdoor cat, but everything about him suggests he'd much prefer life indoors, whether because he once had a home or simply has the friendliest heart we've ever met. He is neutered, vaccinated, and in excellent health. His ear tip reflects his outdoor status, not his personality. Sherbert is EXCELLENT with other cats and has never met a stranger. He is one of those rare cats that will give you his belly whenever he can. He loves warmth, comfort, and companionship and deserves far more than a shelter. We'd adopt him in a heartbeat if we didn't already have four housecats. Sherbert is ready for a loving home and a family to call his own. No obligation to adopt by submitting an application- feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Story
Willow was living in the woods all alone as a very tiny kitten. We worked hard to trap her and within a surprisingly short amount of time, she became extremely friendly and loving...as you can see in her pictures! She attaches to humans amazingly well (perhaps since she was separated from her mama at such a young age-she seeks affection). She has been living and playing with our two housecats and they get along very well (we estimate she is 4-5 months old). She has a clean bill of health, has been spayed, vaccinated, and has reliably been given flea medicine to ensure she has none from her time outside. As much as we've bonded and would LOVE to keep her, we care for many community cats in our neighborhood that aren't as friendly, domesticated, and adoptable as Willow - so we hope to find her a forever home who can give her the time and energy she deserves!
