Story
This is Gringo. He is a house cat and has been litter-box trained. He has been outside in the past and has come back, but that was a long time ago. Later on, he started refusing to be caught and wouldn't listen when it was time to come in. Since then, he’s been kept indoors with cat towers, toys, and open windows with screens. He is an adult cat. I think he is about 12 years old. He has been neutered. It’s unknown if his shots are up to date. He has been sharing his living space with another cat named Sabrina. She was less than a year old when she was first fostered, and she is now about 3. They've been staying with a good friend of mine for a while, buying time so I could try to find a way to avoid separating them. Nina has spent most of life with Gringo, so keeping the two together is highly preferred. While I want to keep them, I can't have animals where I live currently, and my dad and I are both allergic. I truly hope to find them a good home so they don’t have to end

Story
Xena has a special story, making her way in life, not receiving the care and understanding she needed. She originally belonged to a family with a busy home with children. She was not spayed by the family. She was allowed to go in and out of the house (despite the dangers of outdoor life). Of course, she turned up pregnant and birthed her 4 kittens in the home. When the kittens were 4 weeks old, the family ejected her and 3 of her babies onto the lawn in the middle of summer with no protection, because the babies were still learning to use the litter box, and they didn't want to tolerate this phase. Xena and kittens were fostered together until the kittens were old enough to get spayed and neutered and have all found homes.  Mama Xena is also scheduled to be spayed.  It is now her turn to find a home that will love her unconditionally. We think she's had a hard life, and enjoys the comforts of being in a home receiving love and companionship from people. She shows no interest in returning to a life of running around outside. Xena is a delightful, curious, calm, and affectionate cat.
