Story
Cuddlecake is a big personality in a little body. From the moment you meet him he will charm you with his nuzzles and love of petting. He really enjoys playing with toys, laying in the cat tower, and getting plenty of treats. His ideal home would be one where he is the only cat, or possibly in a house with another high energy young cat, but should not live with older cats. If you're looking for a cat to both curl up with you at night and play with you during the day, he's your guy!

Story
Meet Luna!Luna is a beautiful 6-year-old cat with a gentle, loving personality. She is a calm, affectionate companion with a gentle heart and a soothing purr. She may be a little shy when meeting new people, but it doesn't take long for her sweet nature to shine through. Once she's comfortable, she'll reward you with loud, happy purrs and plenty of cuddles.Luna loves curling up next to you at night and is the perfect bedtime companion. While she's affectionate, she's also independent and enjoys having her own quiet moments. One of her most endearing qualities is how gentle she is—she has never been a cat to bite or scratch.Luna is also a talented bug hunter and takes her household "security" duties seriously.Luna doesn't mind dogs, though she'd likely be happiest in a calm home. She has a very close bond with her lifelong companion, Stormy, and we would love for them to find a forever home together. They bring out the best in each other and make a wonderful pair.

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.

Hi everyone, meet Milo. He is a friendly and playful cat. He’s full of energy and loves playing. He’s good with kids and has been fine with other cats he’s met. We got him from my late aunt but we unfortunately have to give him up due to a new horns allergies. We will miss him but we don’t want to isolate him from the family and we feel he deserves to be with a family who can give him more affection and attention. Please let me know if you have any questions about him.

Story
Meet Stormy! Stormy is a 5-year-old sweetheart with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She absolutely loves people and thrives on attention, making friends with just about everyone she meets. If you're looking for a cat who wants to be part of everything you do, Stormy is your girl. She's incredibly affectionate and loves to cuddle, especially at bedtime. Don't be surprised if she curls up next to you every night—sleeping with her favorite humans is one of her favorite things. Stormy also has a playful, silly side and enjoys hiding in the funniest places, always keeping you entertained. She's an excellent little bug hunter, so she'll happily help keep unwanted critters out of the house. Stormy is not a fan of dogs and would do best in a dog-free home. She shares a special bond with her best friend, Luna, and we would love for them to be adopted together if possible. They complement each other wonderfully and have been lifelong companions.

Story
Professor Peaches is one of the most loving cats you will ever meet. He loves laps, especially while you're sitting down for a meal, and cuddling in bed, especially as the little spoon. It's like he’s trying to make up for all the comfort he lost. He once had a family, but when their apartment complex was condemned and everyone moved out, he returned home one day to find nobody there to let him back inside. He waited and waited, but no one ever came back for him. When he first arrived in foster care, he would jolt awake in panic and cry out for his foster mom, terrified of being abandoned again. He does have some health issues: mild heart murmur, stage 1 kidney disease, back leg pain. He will need a specific diet and pain management therapies. He also is not very trusting of other cats and dogs, but will cohabit with them as long as they are quiet and gentle. This sweetie has already survived heartbreak once and deserves to feel safe, cherished, and home again.
