Story
Sony is a 3 year old tabby that is an amazing cat. He was adopted at part of a bonded pair at a petsmart, his sisters name is Lily. Last May my ex-wife and I got 3 new kittens and they seemed to be fine with it. When my ex-wife moved out of the house they started peeing in the house. I have had the two of them sperated from the rest of the house and cats for the past 6 months or so periodically letting them out after trying new things (more litter boxes, calming collers, and calming medication) after about 1 week outside of their space they would start peeing again. I'm hoping a new home with no other cats will suite them. Sony and his sister dont have to be adopted together but they may feel more comfortable if they did stay together. I'm expecting a baby soon so I need to rehome them as soon as possible.

Story
We have to make the incredibly difficult decision to rehome our 2 cats due to allergies. Our cats have been a part of our family since they were kittens and we want to make certain they go to the best home(s). Colby is an orange tabby, approx. 8 years old, and would do best in a quiet home with no young children as he is very nervous when it comes to children and a lot of commotion. He's a super sweet boy who loves attention and cuddles when he gets to know you and is comfortable around you, but this might take a while, so a home that's quiet and patient is ideal. He does have a "sibling," Waffles, who is an orange and white tabby, approx. 5 years old, and would do well in just about any home. She's social and loves attention. They get along great, but aren't super bonded, so it's okay if they go to separate homes, but also great if they could stay together. What's most important to us is that they go to amazing, forever homes so they never have to go through this again.

Story
Lily is a sweet 3 year old cat once she gets for know you. At first she might hiss or growl at new people but eventually will come out and greet everybody. Lily has a brother Sony they were adopted at a petsmart as a "bonded pair". My ex-wife and I got 3 kittens about a year ago and at first everything was good. When the ex-wife moved out last september they started peeing in the house. For the last few months I have kept them seperate from the other cats in their own room, at this time they seem okay with the other cats and they do use the little box but after a week or so outside of their room they start to pee again. They may need a home with no other cats. I have a baby on the way so I need to rehome them as soon as possible.
