Story
Meet Mojito! 🤎 Mojito is a sweet 3-year-old boy with a gentle and shy personality. He can be a little skittish when meeting new people and may need some time to feel comfortable, but there’s one easy way to win him over—treats! Give this boy a few treats and a little patience, and you’ll be well on your way to becoming his favorite person. Mojito would love a home with someone who understands that the best relationships sometimes take a little time to build. Once he learns that he can trust you, his sweet personality starts to shine through. His brother, Mylo, is also available for adoption! 🐱🐱 They are not bonded and can be adopted separately, but they enjoy having another cat around, so adopting them together would be a great option for anyone looking for two furry companions. If you have a soft spot for shy kitties and don’t mind using a few treats to earn their heart, Mojito might just be your perfect match. 🤎🐾

Story
These bounded brother littermates (Bossman and Loopy) are so lovable and ready for a new forever home! We adopted them from a friend and wanted to keep the boys, but our conflict in schedule does not allow time for the attention they so deserve. They are neutered and rabies vaccinated. (We’ll hand over the documentation papers) Their testosterone has calmed down a lot since neutering, so they still scuffle sometimes (like all siblings do- human and kitten alike) but you’ll still find them napping on your lap together at the end of the day. This guy is Loopy, he is the one that gets bossed around between the two. He is the introvert between the brothers, but just as lovable as his brother. He’ll let you know when he wants attention-“look but don’t touch”. He loves head rubs and will lay on the couch with you. *****THEY ARE BONDED BOTH MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER Any questions or concerns please let me know! We also have extra food, toys and an automatic feeder we can give as well.

Story
Comet is a very affectionate cat and is ok with love and attention from people. He does not like any other pets in his space. *MUST BE ONLY PET IN HOME* Comet is a vocal guy and very punctual when it comes to feeding times. He likes to nap in sun and moon light but also under blankets or beds. Comet is a great cat for a family that is looking to have just ONE pet to care for and love on. *Current family/owners are happy to continue paying 2 mos of Banfield OTP (Optimum Wellness Plan) after rehoming.

Story
Jackie was adopted in 2019 and is 9 years old now. She’s an energetic, extremely loving cat that’s very devoted. She’ll run to chase treats if you throw them, and loves feather toys and tunnels. Her favorite things are soft blankets, warm laps to sleep on, and wet food. She never uses her claws on people or children and is very gentle. Needs-wise she has sensitive paws so prefers fine-textured litter like regular clay (she’ll use pellets or other bigger textures but won’t dig). She’s never gone outside of the litter box. She can only have grain-free foods or she’ll get GI issues. She’s not picky with food otherwise.
