Story
Gunther is a 7 year old boy that is such a sweetie. I have had him since he was a kitten and I have struggled to adapt him to a household with other cats since he has been an adult. Gunther will be best in a home without other pets, children are ok. He loves to play fetch with toys, get belly rubs and cuddle. Gunther will always eat a good snack and let you know when he is feeling a little hungry. He is up to date on all of his vaccines and house trained. I feel sad to see him go but recognize I want the best situation for him and unfortunately my current house with other cats is not a good fit. Please reach out if you are interested!

Story
Butterscotch is a 14-year-old cat who just wants to be loved and sit on someone’s lap all the time. He is also quite vocal and likes to meow a lot to get attention and can be particularly active at night. We love him dearly, but we now have a new dog and he just terrorizes the cat and the cat just aggravates the dog and it is not sustainable. I am trying to find a loving home for him to spend out the next few years of his life. He has no other issues except needing attention.

Story
Meet Gracie 👑 Gracie is a 14-year-old sweetheart with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She’s incredibly affectionate and loves to share her opinions—especially when it’s breakfast or dinner time! If you enjoy a chatty companion who will happily keep you company, Gracie will fit right in. This lovely senior would do well in a calm home with cat-savvy children who understand and respect feline boundaries. Gracie prefers to be the queen bee, so a home without other cats is ideal for her to feel secure and confident. Gracie is currently available through our Special Medical / Hospice Adoption program. She has several age-related conditions, including hyperthyroidism, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and dental disease. She is medically stable and receiving ongoing care, including medication for her thyroid and a prescription renal diet to support her kidney health. With close partnership with a veterinarian and thoughtful monitoring, many cats like Gracie can continue to enjoy comfort and a good quality of life. While her lifespan may be more limited due to her chronic conditions, Gracie has so much love left to give. She would thrive in a peaceful, supportive home with adopters who are comfortable providing ongoing medical care, regular check-ins with a vet, and—most importantly—lots of affection. If you’re looking to make a meaningful difference in a senior cat’s life and are ready to open your heart to a special soul, Gracie would love nothing more than to spend her golden years cherished and adored. 💕 Gracie is in our special medical adoption program, If you are interested in meeting her please complete an adopter’s profile at parl.org and email clinic@parl.org to set up a meet and greet
