Story
Dolly was a 3rd cat in our home 2 years ago and she created some behavioral issues with another cat we had for a few years. The other cat stopped using the litter box. We were able to successfully rehome her 2 years ago but a few months ago she was found as a lost cat and we were still on the microchip. Unable to locate the rehomed owner, we decided to give it a try again. 2 years did not change the behavioral issues and the other cat has stopped using the litter box again. She appears to have had stress issues before she came to us because she has licked herself bald in a few spots. The vet said this was not a skin condition, likely stress from being at the shelter when she was a lost pet.

WILLDSH black/whiteNeutered maleIt's been a long road to trusting humans but food is definitely the way to my heart and I will be flirting in no time with a little coaxing from a churu or a handful of treats. Once you've won me over, I will be all over you asking for more treats and pets and you'll be amazed I was ever even shy! I also have plenty of kitten in me still and love toys-straws or flimsy, long toys in general being my go-to. I do well with other cats, and perhaps a friendly and confident cat friend can help show me how great it is to be loved and spoiled in a home!

Story
Autumn was caught in mid-November as a weaned kitten who was starting to roam with her litter mates and learn hunting from her mother. She is a shy but sweet tabby-calico or caliby (tabby in place of black) beauty who likes peeking out at you from behind doors and other obstacles that she feels secure behind, but is very curious and food-motivated. Despite her shyness, she likes to sit or sleep nearby, especially when she can watch the TV, and loves it when you talk to her. She likes to play with strings and feather toys, but tends to get pushed back by her more assertive siblings. She is very intelligent and well-behaved, and gets along well with older cats. Looking for someone who will give her plenty of attention and patience. Autumn's siblings: Frost Snow

Story
Lacie is 4 years old. We got her from a litter of kittens that my sister had (she adopted a pregnant cat). She is a very sweet cat. She loves to be around people and will want to sleep in your bed with you when she gets to know you. She doesn't like being picked up and cuddled on but she loves long pet sessions and will sometimes lay on your chest or in your lap. Lacie also loves eating. She is a very curious cat and will mess with things and go into places even when you don't want her to. We would want someone who will love her and treat her well. She does well with small dogs and other cats. I haven't seen her with big dogs so I don't want her to go to a place that has big dogs. She misses you if you're gone for too long so her new owner would have to be someone who doesn't leave her for long stretches of time often (ex. longer than a work day).

Story
Luna is 7 years old. I got her from my aunt who found her in her barn. She is a very sweet cat. She is a bit of a recluse and doesn't like being picked up or cuddled on unless you're her number one human. She usually hides away for most of the day. Luna loves the sun and big windows. She will stare outside for hours. We are looking for someone who does not have any other pets and doesn't plan on getting anymore after Luna. She enjoys her space.
