Story
Nina Beans is 6 years old, I got her a couple years ago from a friend who was moving and couldn't keep her. She is extremely affectionate and loving, she adores being petted and scratched, but not being picked up. She loves being brushed. She's easy to play with using just about anything. I wouldn't call her a very smart cat, but she definitely isn't dumb.She can handle a relaxed cat just fine, but isn't much for horseplay. She has hidden from every dog I've had over so far.She tends to hide from strangers, but will come out in the morning if they stay the night. She needs a good hidey-hole to feel safe, but she isn't especially skittish. She like scratching posts, she hunts. She prefers a fountain/sink, running water.She's pretty vocal, especially if she's lonely or hungry. She loves to snuggle in bed, sometimes she'll get under the covers.She's a really wonderful cat to be honest, and she's so beautiful, but honestly rent is getting less certain and I want her somewhere safe forever.

Story
Ash, Poe and Socks were rescued from a garage after their mother abandoned them at about 7 weeks old. When we were called, they were very ill and in need of urgent intervention. After multiple rounds of antibiotics, frequent and aggressive interventions to maintain their health and wellness, and finally ALL of their shots, we have 3 perfect 10 week old kittens. They still need to spayed/neutered, but otherwise, eat well, play well and use the litter box without issues or concerns. We have dogs, cats and children and they have done well with all of them. They are exceptionally playful and though they very much love playing and cuddling with each other, we do not think they need to stay together necessarily. We are happy to separate or keep them together. We will always take them back if there are issues/concerns. We are able to help out with food, litter and vet recommendations.UPDATE: Poe has been adopted. But Ash and Socks are still looking for their forever home(s).

Story
Ricky is the calmest, most gentle, loving kitty. He is also the laziest kitty! He can play with toys, but prefers to be sleeping or cuddling next to you. He has a very chill personality. He has lived with other cats and does great. When he has been around a dog, he usually tries to just stay clear. He is very good with kids and all people. We got Ricky when he was eight weeks old from a British Shorthair breeder in California. His birthday is March 22nd and he turned four this year. He is a chubby kitty but has been very healthy and is neutered. He is a really great cat! We will miss him! We are moving overseas, going to several different countries so will not be able to bring us with him and therefore are needing to find him a new home.

Story
Hello! Happy is 4 years old, and has been with me since he was around 6 months old. He is very loving once he gets to know you, but more standoffish at first.He has just been having a hard time adjusting to having a baby around. He has never been mean towards my 4 month old, he has just started marking around the house since the middle of my pregnancy and it has not gotten any better with treatment. I love him so much and want to see him go to a loving home. He would probably prefer to be an only animal, but does well with my 12 year old small dog as well as the 2 year old cat.We did have him evaluated by a vet to confirm the marking is fully stress related and are trying medications to help keep him happier until we can find him a good home

Story
Penny was found by a caring person in their backyard, she looked rough & in need of vet care. She was taken to our local animal care facility where she received care till she was stable. At that time the facility asked the person who found her to come & get her, as the facility was full - the person was not able to give Penny a home & was going to put her back outside. Penny is not feral, she is friendly & likes people. Some local cat lovers heard the story & took Penny from the person who found her, then put a plea out on FB - I saw the post & sympathized with the story so agreed to take Penny, with the intention of integrating her into my 3 cat/1 dog household. Once she was here, it was clear Penny does not like being around other cats - she & one of my cats fight, so Penny is in her own room, separated from the other cats. She is independent, smart, uses litterbox 100% (and is neat!). Completely healthy, current on all care & shots, spayed & microchipped.
