She forms strong bonds with trusted humans and can be affectionate and social on her own terms.Luna does best in a calm environment where her boundaries are respected. Luna is looking for a patient home where she can settle in at her own pace and build trust with her person. She has a lot of personality and may be a great match for someone looking for a companion cat who prefers a quieter, one-pet household.What to KnowEnjoys being near her peopleCan be affectionate once trust is establishedDoes not do well with other catsHas a history of hissing when frightened, overstimulated, or under significant stressNeeds an owner who understands cat body language and will respect her boundaries

Story
This is perri. A friend of mine found her outdoors as a stray cat years ago. We got her from that friend 7/8 years ago and had her since. She gets super stressed with other animals and would do better in a calm house like a senior house. She does not like to be picked up but will gladly sit next to you. Since she is a senior, she has senior cat issues. She doesn’t gain weight like she used to. She gets dry and wet food. She goes crazy from the gems wet food. She’s at least 10 years old. When my friend found her, they estimated 1 year-5 year old at the time. She is super sweet and does love to be petted. She loves food! As a senior cat, she’s not excatly the cleanest cat 😆, but at her age, don’t blame her. I put unknown for shots, but she had them 2/3 years ago.

Story
Roughly 4 years ago, I adopted this female cat, Norah, from a shelter in Akron. She is around 5 years old now and I have the original adoption paperwork. At that time, I also had a much older male cat, named Blake, who passed away at the end of 2026. Both were indoor/outdoor cats, not especially cuddly/lovable, but very independent. This past June, I needed to have heart surgery, and being in long-term recovery, I am no longer able to take care of this remaining cat. My long-term solution is to surrender Norah to an adoption agency, both for my own health and lifestyle considerations, but also to improve Norah's living situation while she is still relatively young. This is not a decision that I am taking lightly, it is more of a decision driven by necessity. Please consider this request and contact me when space is available.

She is 3 months old. She’s playful and affectionate and overall a gentle and sweet-girl. She requires 2 weeks more medication daily after being recently spayed. She’s house trained and very adaptable to her environment. Brisket is a wonderful addition to a loving home

Story
I am placing this for my elderly Mother who is on Hospice care but knows she will soon need someone to take her cats. She has 2 total. It is my Mom's goal to both find a great home for her cats but also keep them as long as possible, up to 6 months, and an adopter will need to be flexible with the adoption date. He is a Long haired cat who she adopted as a kitten about 1.5 years ago. He is an indoor cat who is extremely lovable but shy to strangers. She wishes others could see how sweet he is but he runs away with strangers. He gets along great with the other cat and they are best friends. We believe he is part Maine Coon because of his noticably larger size relative to a typical cat. The groomer confirmed that he is probably part Maine Coon. The groomer said he is very gentle, never hissed, bit or clawed. Once he becomes comfortable with you he will lay on his back next to you to get his belly rubbed and be with you as you watch TV at night.

Story
🐾 Meet Grayson! 🐾 Grayson has been in foster care since January after surviving a devastating accident. He spent 6 weeks in the hospital after being hit by a car and ultimately had to have his left rear leg amputated. Before his accident, Grayson lived outdoors with his siblings in a cat colony. Because of his injury, he is now an indoor-only kitty and has adjusted wonderfully to life inside. Grayson is a shy, gentle boy who takes a little time to trust people, but he’s making great progress every day. His absolute favorite thing is other cats, so he would thrive in a home with feline friends. He also does well with dogs! He enjoys lounging in sunny windows, napping, and playing with his foster brothers. He gets around amazingly well on three legs, uses the litter box perfectly, and is otherwise a healthy, happy cat. Grayson is: ● 🩶 Neutered ● 💉 Up to date on vaccinations ● ✅ FeLV/FIV negative ● 🏡 Indoor-only ● 🐱 Great with other cats ● 🐶 Good with dogs ● ❤️ Looking for a
