Story
Figaro and Mr. Sandman are very sweet cats who both love to be near you. They are a bonded pair. Best buddies. Both males a littleover a year old. Both are wonderful with my dogs and my little grandson. I just have too many pets for just me, and work 13 hour shifts so I am having to downsize. They have only been kept indoors. Not eveninterested in going outside. They use a pet pivot (which I will send) and love their huge cat tree (which I will also send) and eat wet & dry food both. Very loving. Figaro loves to lay on your lap, and Mr. Sandman (Sandy) on your chest. They play very well together and have lots of fun. Very entertaining little guys :) Have both been neutered. Figaro has a really cool marbling effect on his coat. Mr. Sandman is a buff color with yellow eyes. 💛They are really cool, gentle, awesome and loving cats.

Hello everyone I have 2 kittens that I can’t keep because of landlord issues. They are free to a good home! They are 5 months old and up to date on shots. I do have paperwork. Please if anyone would love to adopt them please reach out. I do not want to put them in a shelter. Thank you so much! Will come with plenty of toys and a cat tree and a robotic litter box and cat food.

Story
Cookie was 4 months old when we find her on the street. Since then she has been inside only she is now 1year old. When we decided to keep cookie we had no plans on having a baby but now things have change. We currently have two daughters a 4 and 10 year old. Cookie is very sweet and is ok with the girls mainly my oldest with the 4 year old no all the time but i think is because she is rough so sometimes she bites or scratches her so she can leave her alone. I think cookie will be better in a home with just adults or older kids. She likes to be touch but not all the time. Since we have a new baby I've decided is best for her to have a new home i feel like she is not getting the attention and love that she needs. Even tho we love her i think is the best thing for her the girls are not old enough to help with her and i already have alot with a new born.

Story
Meet Stella! She is a sweet 12-year-old girl who loves belly rubs and lounging around the house. Stella is naturally shy and enjoys having her own space, but she can also be playful and affectionate once she feels comfortable. Stella currently takes Prozac daily for anxiety and has a well-established routine for taking her pill. The medication has also helped significantly with a history of occasional urine marking. Her prescription typically costs about $25–40 per month depending on the vet. She has been around dogs and children and generally chooses to hide rather than interact if she feels overwhelmed. She has never shown aggression. We received Stella from a family member, and unfortunately she has not been the best fit for our household. We would love to find her a calm, patient home where she can settle in and be comfortable. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Story
Meet Tinker! I adopted Tinker in 2022 from Chatt HES. Sadly my fiancé is extremely allergic. Tinker turned 5 in August 2026. She is a wonderful cat who I would happily keep if our circumstances were different. She gets along very well with other animals and children. She is an active cat who enjoys playing and running around. She loves to be pet and brushed and has no issue being picked up and held. She also enjoys roaming around my backyard, but typically spends 95% of her time indoors. She loves to snuggle as well, but only on her own terms. She is totally up to date on all her shots and uses the litter box like a champ. Her favorite toys are plastic springs, which she will happily hit around for hours until she wears herself out. Tinker is not shy with guests and will happily get pets from anyone. My friends fall for her instantly. Please let me know if you have any questions! I’d be happy to answer. Also planning to include litter box, feeders, toys as I will no longer need them.

Story
Lex Luthor (lexapro)He is a BIG boy! HUGE, but not fat! He loves the catnip/ silvervine blend and will just stick his face in the bag if you let him. He loves dried spaghetti noodles specifically. Sometimes penne. But with spaghetti noodles, he will beg at our feet until we throw him a couple, and he doesn’t eat them, he just breaks them with his teeth and bats them around the room. He likes cardboard boxes (for chewing, playing, and relaxing) and fuzzy blankets. His favorite toys are any wand toy on a string and anything with feathers, bonus if it’s a wand toy WITH feathers. Though he does try to eat the feathers. The cat tree has a bowl hammock that was his favorite spot to nap. He is extremely curious and too smart and clever for his own good. He has some anxiety and would benefit from a calm home. He gives the BEST head butts and does tippy tappy feet when getting pet or requesting pets. He loves forehead scratches and has a very loud motor purr.
