Story
Lovely Luna is so ready for a home to call her very own! Luna is a senior cat who is blind and has special needs. Luna is about 9 years old, weighs 10 pounds, and has an adorable little bobtail. Despite her blindness, Luna has a very sweet and low-key personality. She finds her way around well and always uses her litter box. She loves being held and petted; when she is happy, she will even drool! She also likes to sleep in stuffed toys, which is just one of the many cute and endearing things about her.  She is getting used to being around other cats in her foster home, but she may do best in a home where she is the only cat and can receive all your love, attention, and care. Luna needs someone patient and willing to acclimate her to a new environment. It may take a little time for her to feel comfortable in a new home, but she will warm up and become a loyal companion with a grateful heart. If you are considering adopting a cat and have a big heart for senior and special needs animals, Luna could be the perfect addition to your family. Please consider giving Miss Luna the comfortable and loving home she deserves, won't you? Apply to adopt today! This cat is in Tennessee.

Story
Oscar is around 8 years old, we have had him since he was 12 weeks old. We got him from a Siamese rescue, that had an event in a Petsmart store in North Carolina. He is not in anyway aggressive, he has never bitten/attacked anyone, not even a scratch to my knowledge. He is however an extremely nervous and skittish cat. We have a large family where there is always something going on. We’ve moved twice since getting him and around 2 years ago, we moved to a new house and my elderly mom moved in to live with us. He has really become her cat and stays mostly in her room and away from everyone else, except when it’s time for his food. But he has started to pee outside of his litter box periodically now, something he randomly seems to do when there are periods of change in the home. We really feel that he just needs a new home that is much more calm and quieter than ours, with less people. Ideally an older person/couple on their own, or perhaps somebody with no young kids in the house.
