Story
Hello, this is Sweetie. I rescued her. Shes a little over a year old. She has all her shots from border animal hospital. She’s a really sweet and affectionate kitten. Really vocal and sassy. She is a little skittish at first because I have an older cat she doesnt really get along with but overall really well trained. She knows her name. Despite being skinny, she eats a lot and will always scream when she sees you pick up her food bowl. Im looking at rehoming her because I’m unfortunately unable to care for her anymore. There are several factors to this decision. She is well loved but I know that she will thrive in another home better than what i can care for her.

Story
Mittens was found on the side of the road — hungry, thirsty, and in need of care. We took her in and gave her a loving home, but unfortunately we've had to make the difficult decision to rehome her due to allergies in our household. She is a sweet, gentle cat who deserves a forever home where she can truly thrive. If you're looking for a calm and affectionate companion, Mittens would be a wonderful addition to your family.

Story
Butter was from a litter of seven. He was one of the three that survived. This lucky boy is a quirky, cuddly, playful and outgoing cat, who absolutely enjoys the presence of other cats. Since he was a kitten, he had always taken us by surprise by how fast he’s able to want to make friends with both cats and humans.There was a time we cared for a frightened aggressive female cat who would not let anyone near her... Butter was not fazed by this behavior. He continued to approach her, sniff her and sit by her side. By the time her visit ended they played, slept and ate together.Butter has had no shots, he is neutered, microchipped, house trained and has always been an indoor cat. You’ll always find Butter interacting with a toy or a dear friend aside from napping on your lap.We would love to keep Butter but because we have a toddler, an infant and a new baby on the way we realized we would not be capable of giving him the love, attention and care he deserves.

Story
This is Bubblegum. She's two years old. She is quiet, gentle, and a little bit shy but, also sweet and playful. Once she warms up to you she loves to show affection and receive belly rubs. She loves to be picked up for snuggles and to play with cat toys she can chase. She gets along well with other cats. She's up to date with vaccines and has had no health issues. I adopted her from the Animal Defense League of San Antonio in December 2024. Bubblegum doesn't seem to care for kids. She's been in our home with my 5-year-hold since she's been adopted and she's never been aggressive with my daughter but she avoids her and doesn't like to be touched by her. I'm looking for anyone who would be a good fit for bubblegum. Someone who lives in a home with no kids preferably. She's perfect for anyone who's looking to adopt a cat for the first time.

Story
Petunia is a sweet and loving girl who loves affection, treats and toys. She can be a very vocal girl but also very shy and introverted. Once she warms up to you, she will not leave you alone and with time you will be her favorite person to sleep and cuddle next to. She is not afraid to show if she dislikes something and will let you know but not with aggression just vocally and sometimes behaviorally. She can be easily stressed which is why I would hope she can be in a household that is just her and her chosen person so she can have all the love and attention she needs without sharing it with other pets. She will thrive in this environment and I only wish nothing but just that for my girl.
