Otto was found in the engine bay of a co-worker's car. Don't think he's quite a year yet probably close to a year. Has been neutered and up to date on all shots. Having to move in with someone allergic and cannot take with me unfortunately. Pretty laid back fat boy, likes to be near his food bowl LOL will come with a half of a large bag of food and decent size cat tree

Story
Looking for a loving home for two amazing male cats, Wayne & Bruce. I do love them dearly. However, they need space to roam outside freely. They love outdoors! Wayne, [ginger tabby] is more of a hunter! Bruce is lover of people!💖 Unfortunately, my yard isn’t large enough to cater to their needs. They have been neutered and need a loving home. All items pictured will be given to their new owner including cat food and litter. Please inbox me if you’re interested.🐈🐈‍⬛

House-trained,
Story
We acquired Doxie through a friend who took her in after a major storm event. Doxie was found with her sister in their front yard in the rain. Our friend wasn’t able to fully care for Doxie (she had a few dogs that weren’t friendly with cats) and we were hoping to find a friend for our cat, Minnie. We have tried to introduce them for many months but we think Minnie prefers to be an only child. Doxie is very sweet, chatty and playful but just not too socialized with other cats. Doxie is a little less than a year old and is still very much in ‘kitten-mode.’ She loves feather toys and she is a climber. Doxie definitely prefers play time over cuddle time. She is curious and wants to be where you are at all times. We wish things could work between Minnie and Doxie, however Minnie is a bit too territorial. Doxie needs a home to roam, climbing space and lots of play time.
