Story
Maggie was living in a wood pile, but was taken in when she had 4 adorable kittens. She is now looking for an inside home as she is not feral and is very well behaved. She is sweet and beautiful! She is currently recovering from taking care of her babies, having ear mites and being generally underweight and stressed living outside. She's ready for the good life. Are you the person she's been waiting for? She is a tabby with just a touch of torbie - orange patches on her back and paw mixed with gorgeous tiger stripes. Her son is Magnolia and she has 3 daughters - they are not fixed yet - one tiger with orange on her paw like her Mom. One tabico (tabby + calico) and one black kitten. Maggie tested positive for FIV. She is our first cat to test positive. Even with FIV, she can still live a long and healthy life. She will need to be an indoor cat and fed a healthy diet to keep her immune system strong. Caring for an FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) positive cat primarily requires strict indoor living to prevent the spread of the virus and shield their compromised immune system from outside pathogens. How to care for an FIV cat: - Regular vet check-ups - Provide a safe, stable indoor environment - Minimize environmental stress, which can suppress the immune system. - Provide a stable routine, comfortable resting areas, and regular playtime. - Feed a nutritionally complete and well-balanced diet to maintain optimal health and weight. - No Raw Diets because FIV+ cats have a weakened immune system, they are highly susceptible to severe food-borne bacteria and parasites. Can an FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) Cat Safely Live with Other Cats? Yes. Because the virus is primarily transmitted through deep, penetrating bite wounds, it rarely spreads during peaceful cohabitation or casual grooming. Follow these key steps to ensure a safe, multi-cat household: - Ensure all cats are spayed/neutered. - Perform slow introductions: Do not rush. Use scent-swapping and gradual visual contact before allowing your new cat to roam the house freely. - Maintain a stable environment: Keep your cats indoors to prevent them from engaging in territorial fights with neighborhood animals. Ensure there are plenty of resources (food bowls, litter boxes, and vertical perches) so the cats never feel the need to compete. - Monitor personalities: The biggest risk is a serious, blood-drawing fight. If your existing cats are known to be aggressive or highly reactive, introducing a new cat may not be the best fit.

Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Theo is 10 months old, 15 lbs and growing. He needs a carefully selected new home due to a major upcoming family caregiving transition resulting in household incompatibility. This is a heartbreaking decision. Theo is deeply loved, healthy, neutered, indoor-only, litter box reliable, and has full veterinary and breeding records. He is affectionate, independent, socially confident, intelligent, playful, and highly interactive with his environment, and has no history of aggression. He enjoys fetch, climbing/perching, enrichment activities, and spending time near the people in his household. He comes when called, enjoys being groomed, and is comfortable around visitors. Theo is extremely athletic, highly exploratory, persistent, and very motivated by access to elevated spaces. He is not a good fit for households requiring strict counter/surface boundaries. Please reach out to schedule a brief virtual meet and greet to learn more about Theo and discuss the type of home you can provide.
