Story
Bob is a former neighborhood stray we rescued from street life and has flourished as an indoor cat. Approx. 3 yrs old, neutered, utd on vaccinations and overall, very healthy. Bob is FIV+ but don’t let this stop you from adding this amazing gentleman to your life. FIV+ cats can live very long and healthy lives with proper nutrition and veterinary care. Our female cat doesn't like Bob and the two do not get along, making life stressful for both. Bob is incredibly good looking, smart, curious and still figuring out life in a house. He is a fun, playful boy who enjoys bird watching, chasing his feather toys & being up on his high perch. He doesn't scratch furniture/carpets & uses his litter box like a champ. Although he looks like a Bengal, we believe him to be a spotted tabby. He loves to be around people and gets the zoomies from time to time. He is active & clever and likes to keep sharp by solving food puzzles and hunting for hidden treats. Bob deserves a safe, loving home.

Story
We have had Ruby and her sister Penny for 6 years, and it absolutely breaks our hearts to let her go. We have tried everything to deal with the (newly developed) cat allergies in our home. Ruby is quite independent, she enjoys napping in a quiet place and occasionally showing her humans some love. She particularly enjoys action...things being done around the house, whenever I would have a DIY project Ruby would keep me company throughout as my helper. I believe she would be ok in a home with or without her sister Penny, as they are more sisters who tolerate each other than a bonded pair of cats. Ruby has just had her most recent pet visit and is fully up to date on vaccinations and has an overall clean bill of health.

Story
**PLEASE READ** This post is for 2 cats. They have been together since they were kittens and I don’t think they should be separated. They are very sweet and well behaved. Unfortunately they aren’t getting the attention they deserve due to changes and can’t be cared for properly. They should go to a better home. They are 4 years old. They are both spayed/neutered, Walter (male) is orange and MJ (female) is the mix color. No adoption fee but they are a package deal. Looking for a a good home for them.

Story
Moon came to us by way of a Good Samaritan who found him in need of help. He is sad at the shelter, it is overwhelming for him. He had severe matting when he arrived so we had to shave him. Moon feels most comfortable being admired rather than handled. If you`re the type of person who finds joy in watching a beautiful cat (we think he`ll be a glorious floof) do cat things, he might be a good fit for your home. He needs a home where he can be appreciated and loved for being the introvert that his is.
