Story
EJ was a stray cat living outside of an office building for the last year or two. She has adapted happily to being an inside kitty over the past 3 months. She is a huge cuddler, has no problem with pets on her head, belly, tail, back, etc! She's an absolute star. She's shown no tendency to escape, no destructive behaviors, and had been completely calm around other animals. She can be shy but quickly opens up when she knows you just want to love her. :) Truly a wonderful kitty. She has been taken to a vet and is fixed and now has her rabies and distemper shots. She did not have a chip. She tested positive for FIV (essentially feline HIV) which means she must be strictly indoor only and should be the only other cat in the household. However she is otherwise in great health and should live a long and normal kitty life. :)

Story
Meet Junie B. Jones (aka Junie) a one-year-old kitty who was a street cat until three weeks ago. I found Junie outside my school (Garfield Elementary) where she was incredibly lethargic and trying to get inside and it was clear right away that she deserved a vet visit and chance at a safe, loving home. I brought her to the vet, got her spayed 4/8 where she also received all her necessary vaccines. I have kept her as she has been recovering and getting comfortable indoors. I truly wish I could keep her, but unfortunately, my allergies make it impossible long-term. In the meantime, she has really started to get more comfortable and is definitely a presence. She is playful, curious, smart, sassy, and has become more cuddly and full of affection each day as she gets more comfortable and confident and trusting. I have plenty of supplies and accessories that I will give to the new family with her! (Food, litter box, scratching post, bed, toys, carrier, collar).

Story
VIDEO just posted! Do you love reading books or watching a movie with a cuddle buddy on your lap? If so, this is your guy! Sassafras Swirl is an introvert. He arrived at my door in November 2023. He was emaciated and wasn't going to make it. I started feeding him, fell in love with him, and brought him inside. He was clearly a former housecat. Sassafras had a PU (perineal urethrostomy) surgery in December 2024. That, a partial prescription diet, and being separated from my other cats, seems to have fully resolved his FLUTD (feline lower urinary tract disease) issues. I have 3 cats and he is bullied by one of them. I've "tried it all" and there is no resolving it. For his health, I keep him separated, but it breaks my heart. He would love a home of his own with no other pets or kids. He has made huge strides! He's a shy, low energy guy, with anxiety who would love a pet parent(s) who can relate, and give him time and space to come out of his shell even more.
