Story
Lilo was sold to us as a ragdoll mix. I payed way to much for her. The photo of mom appeared she had long hair so lilo might but I doubt it... We quickly realized she is not a ragdoll. She is starting to tolerate being held like a baby. She is litter box trained with pine pellets. She bites our daughter and does not get along with our other cats, shes very aggressive towards them. She also tears up carpet. She is great with me, lays on my pillow at night, and has the cutest trilling noises. But would do best in a adult home with no other cats .She is fully vaccinated and dewormed, I have her full records I will give you. Shes scheduled to be spayed in february. I have payed $50 of the $85 towards it if your still interested. Sadly I need to rehome as she is not happy with our kids or other cats. She is loving towards me but prefers females to males. Her birthday is August 7th 2025 so shes a little over 4 months old. Pick up in melbourne text is best 321-591-1480. Thank you♡

Story
Cocoa is a 10 year old, very loving cat who likes to be snuggled! She would never scratch or bite and is very easy handle. She does well with other boy cats but can be territorial around other female cats. She is not picky over food, but needs to be limited on how much she eats. She likes to go out on the porch but is mainly an indoor cat.

Story
Meet Booker, he was found as a tiny kitten at the New Jersey airport 13 years ago and has been part of our family ever since. He filled our home with love, laughter, and countless cuddles over the years. Booker is our little social butterfly. He’ll happily greet you throughout the day and even hold a “conversation” with you! He’s a total foodie who loves cozy spots, attention, and snuggles. Most of the time, you’ll find him lounging in his favorite spot. Sadly, since welcoming our baby, we haven’t been able to give him the time and cuddles he deserves, but we were making it work. Yet, I recently found out I'm pregnant, we just moved to FL, my husband travels a lot for work, and we have no family or friends here that can help with the litter. So, after much thought and heartbreak, we’ve made the very difficult decision to rehome him. We’re hoping to find him a loving home! He is healthy, spayed/neutered, up to date on shots, litter box trained, and strictly an indoor cat.
