These two are a mother and daughter and need to be adopted as a pair. They are about 3 and 2, respectfully and have good health. I would be willingly to pay to help support the two if needed. (I know two at once is a bit much)

Story
We adopted Leopold and her brother Fred after catching them as strays for neutering/spaying when they were less than a year old probably. While we were holding them for recovery, we attached to them and decided to bring them inside and adopt.Leopold is fairly shy and tends to hide when people first arrive at home, especially newcomers. She warms up pretty quickly, especially when sitting on a couch quietly. That’s when she will come for as many pets and belly rubs as she can get, asking for them with a very demure little mew. She will headbutt you for more pets incessantly, she is such a cuddler. She also has the softest fur on a cat I have ever felt. Leopold is about 7 years old and still gets big bursts of energy and runs around the house once or twice a day.Ideally, I'd like to find someone to adopt both Leopold and Fred so they can stay together as they are sister and brother and have lived together all their lives.

Story
Yeti is a cat with an odd personality. A family friend found him in the woods and raised him from a kitten. He's not very socialized with cats and only really does well with small dogs. He's Angora through and through, with a beautiful white/grey coat and hair that is soothing to the touch. He's the opposite of shy. He likes sleeping in people's laps, kisses on the forehead, and boxes. He's especially ravenous and will pester you for food if you're not careful, so try to feed him at the same time you eat. Bottom line, Yeti really needs a home where he can feel like a boss. We hope any prospective cat people are interested in taking in this big ball of fluff!

Story
We adopted Fred and his sister Leopold after catching them as strays for neutering/spaying when they were less than a year old probably. While we were holding them for recovery, we attached to them and decided to bring them inside and adopt. Fred is a talkative fellow and loves attention. He tends to over groom himself, hence the pheromone collar, which helps a ton. He likes to lay at the foot of the bed, especially during cold months!Fred is about 7 years old and still gets big bursts of energy and runs around the house once or twice a day. Ideally, I'd like to find someone to adopt both Fred and Leopold so they can stay together as they are brother and sister and have lived together all their lives.

Meet Nora – A Sweet, Playful Girl Ready for Her Forever Home! Nora is a beautiful short-haired tabby with stunning Bengal-like markings, born on March 20, 2026. She is spayed, up to date on all of her vaccinations, and has tested negative for feline leukemia, so she’s healthy and ready to join her forever family. When Nora first came into foster care, she was a shy little girl who needed time to feel safe. With patience and love, she’s blossomed into a confident, affectionate sweetheart. Watching her come out of her shell has been such a joy! Nora is full of playful energy and absolutely loves chasing and wrestling with her four siblings. Whether she’s racing through the house or pouncing on her favorite spring toy, she’s always ready for fun. After playtime, she’s happy to soak up attention and melts for gentle back scratches. Nora would do wonderfully with a family that will continue to encourage her confidence and give her plenty of love, playtime, and affection. In return, she’ll reward you with her sweet personality, playful antics, and loyal companionship. If you’re looking for a beautiful, loving, and playful young cat to become part of your family, Nora just might be the perfect match!   Approx. birth date: 3/20/23 Foster:  LM October 29, 2026, 12:23 am
