Story
Scooter was adopted with his brother Lucky from a shelter in Cleveland Oh in April of 2021. They are a bonded pair and are very cuddly, not aggressive and fine around children. We are expecting our second child in August and it’s getting too hard to manage a toddler, a pregnancy and two cats. We feel they deserve a home where they can be loved and cuddled as much as they want. They’ve always been on very healthy cat food, science diet and grain free wet food options. They’ve never been outdoors and they’re up-to-date on their vet visits. They are very docile and friendly and have had a life full of cuddling. We just can’t maintain the same level of love they deserve with the new baby coming.

Story
Lizzie is a sweet, 5 year old mixed breed tabby. I took her in when her owner moved to an assisted living facility. Unfortunately, one of my existing senior kitties is stressed with the addition of a new cat in the house. I took Lizzie in back in October, 2025 and have been hoping the situation would resolve itself but it hasn't. Lizzie is very loving to me and enjoys being petted. She is very active and kitten like. She plays with her toys and especially enjoys the catnip filled ones. She is litter trained and has never had an accident outside her box. She was a little shy when I first brought her home but she has since come out of her shell. I would love to find this sweet baby a loving forever home.

Story
Squirrel is a 6 year old cat who I call the forever kitten. She is only six pounds and tiny as can be. She’s adorable and so so cuddly. She gets along with other cats, but does best on her own. Dogs are a no for her. She is shy and cautious, but she is super cuddly and just wants to follow you around and snuggle up to be pet. She doesn’t play much, she just likes to watch the toy move. She likes to sleep by your head. She takes a few days to warm up to you, but then she wants tons of love!

Story
Medical WaiverMeet Figaro. I’m a little older than some of these kids but I’ve had time to increase my sweetness level. Toys are fun, even a laser pointer. Love to sleep on the cat tree in a sunny window. If you are sitting down I will gladly jump in your lap for pets and belly rubs. I’m a pretty chill guy but I’m quite nosy and like to check out what you’re doing. I get along with adults and children.
