Story
I am a sweet boy! My mom is just a kitten herself and I had 6 brothers and sisters! We were born outside in Trinity by a busy road. Some nice people found us and raised us in their lanai. Now I'm ready for a safe indoor home with a family who loves me and will never leave me behind!  I would LOVE a kitty playmate in my forever home, but most importantly I need a family who will spend LOTS of time with me! ##2618398##

Story
2 years and 2 months I have been with my foster momma! I was just a wee baby when she got me and my brothers. I have been with her for a long time because I have anxiety and prefer to be the only cat, no dogs, and no kids. I am the usual housecat that likes to lounge around the house in the sun, and in my special bed! I take an oral medication daily for my anxiety. When my foster momma comes in the door I am waiting for her because she knows I love to be pet from my neck down to my tail. If you want a loyal girl who will come to you on her terms give her a loving home! Please give foster mom a call before adopting (813-928-9252, Audrey) ##1641320##

Story
I have kind of a crazy story to share. I was picked up when I was just a tiny baby with ringworm, which is pretty common in outdoor kittens around Florida and also pretty easily treated. Usually. But mine would just not go away, and at one point my whole body was covered in terrible gray, crusty lesions! I had a bacterial skin infection too, so I was on all sorts of medication. I felt so sick! I saw a dermatologist and even they could not really help. But FINALLY after a very long course of antibiotics and anti-fungals, I am ringworm free and cleared for adoption! I will probably always have alopecia (hair loss) from my ordeal, and hyperkeratosis, which means I get little scabs here and there that will eventually fall off. But I'm such a good cat! I am a little skittish sometimes and I have trouble retracting my claws, probably due to scarring from everything I went through, so young kids might not be a great match. When I want love, though, I will be ALL up in your lap/face demanding attention! I cannot get enough! Just be patient with me when we get home; I'll probably hide the first day or so, but it wont be for too long. I get along GREAT with other kitties and sweet doggies, too!! ##1843425##

Story
Please contact Olivia (oliviagu@aol.com) for more information about this pet.Hi, I'm Belia! I was rescued with my littermates near my foster mom’s gym I can be a bit shy at first. But don’t let that fool you—I have a lot of love to give once I get to know you. I absolutely adore being petted and have a wonderfully loud purr that lets you know how much I enjoy it. If my foster mom ever stops, I give her a gentle tap to remind her that the petting should continue. You know how humans can be! I’m best buddies with my sister, Lexi. We love cuddling together in a cozy bed and enjoy each other’s company immensely. If you’re looking for a pair of sweet kittens to bring into your home, we might just be the perfect fit! Come meet us and see if we’re the purr-fect match for you!February 11, 2025, 4:24 pm

Please contact Larry (larryburghdorf84@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Say hello to Armenia, a kitten with a world of charm and a hint of mystery! This little sweetheart might just be bilingual—sometimes, when he meows, it sounds like he’s speaking Spanish! Whether he’s asking for cuddles or announcing it’s playtime, Armenia’s chatter is sure to bring a smile to your face. Armenia is a curious and playful kitten who loves exploring her surroundings and making new friends. Toys, other cats, and even the occasional sunbeam are all part of his daily adventures. Despite his playful energy, he has a soft, affectionate side that comes out when it’s time to curl up and relax. Armenia is ready to bring joy, laughter, and maybe a little multilingual conversation into his forever home. Could your family be the one to give this unique kitten the love and happiness he deserves?February 11, 2025, 3:38 pm

Story
Frederick A gentle, slightly reserved tuxedo Domestic Shorthair with a soft heart and soulful eyes. While he may not be as outgoing as his brother, Lovey, Frederick is a quiet sweetheart who thrives on calm companionship and meaningful connection. He’s also quite the little conversationalist—this boy loves to talk and isn’t shy about sharing his thoughts (especially when it’s mealtime or cuddle o’clock!). Frederick is bonded with Lovey, and we’re hoping to find them a forever home together where they can continue to balance each other out beautifully. He’s fully vetted, vaccinated, and ready for a home filled with love, patience, and gentle affection. Looking for a pair of tuxedo brothers who bring both calm and charm? Frederick is ready to meet you.

Lovey A cuddly, affectionate tuxedo Domestic Shorthair who truly lives up to his name. This sweet boy is always ready for snuggles, pets, and a cozy spot to curl up next to you. With his soft purrs and loving nature, he’s the definition of a lap cat. Lovey is bonded with his brother Frederick, and we’re hoping to find them a forever home together where they can continue their close-knit companionship. They’re a dynamic duo—full of charm, personality, and heart. Lovey is fully vetted, vaccinated, and ready to fill your home with love (and probably a few head boops along the way). Looking for a feline pair with a whole lot of heart? Lovey might just be your guy.

Story
Jasper is a 4-5 yo male. Chipped & neutered. He is an absolute lover boy! He previously lived on a farm (as the only cat) and moved with me to a house that already had two established adult outdoor cats. We have found out that he needs to be a "one and only" cat. He is territorial and does not tolerate other cats in his space. He has been indoor & indoor/outdoor before and is litter trained. He will go to the door first and cry to be let outside, but will use a litter box. He is happy inside and outside. He is a lap cat and LOVES to kiss and cuddle. He will sleep with you through the night if inside. It absolutely breaks my heart to let him go, but he needs to be in a home where 100% of the love and attention is his and only his.

Story
Kaia is 1 year and a half old. She's a sweet girl and can be very affectionate. She is extremely playful and loves toys. I have a 6 month old baby and Kaia has been great with her since birth. I just put that she isn't good with children bc whenever I've had small kids come around she seems to perceive them as a threat. I haven't had her around other cats but we did used to have my ex's very calm sweet pitbull in the house and Kaia got along well with her. We love Kaia and don't want to part with her but i feel she deserves a home where she can get all of the attention and cuddles that i can't give her anymore.
