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.

Story
This is Suzie ! She is 3 years old, spayed, and up to date on vaccines! She is the sweetest girl who loves to cuddle and burrow under the covers with you, She is extremely playful and loves any sort of attention. I am looking to rehome her due to financial reasons, I have 3 cats currently, it’s too much on me and is overwhelming for the other cats. She would do fine with 1 or 2 other animals if in a big enough space and properly introduced. She’s an only indoor cat I am very particular about who I rehome her to. I would like to keep contact with her new owners and get updates on her. There will be a rehoming fee.

Story
Hi my name is Gigi I’ve been a pampered house cat since I was a kitten. Recently my mom and dad have had a baby and I’m a bit overwhelmed by my fellow cats and dogs and the new baby. I’d be most happy in a house with either only female cats or one male cat. Best I’d be the center of attention in a single cat home. I’m very friendly and happy. My rabies isn’t up to date because I’m a strictly inside only cat. All other shots have been done and I’ve been dewormed and check for FIV and I’m all good. I’m very friendly but I’m overwhelmed by my current environment and just need somewhere quiet to rest my paws.

Chun Li is 2 years old. We rescued her from the woods behind our house in February 2025. We are looking for a home where she is the ONLY cat. She is very sweet, very affectionate, she will follow you everywhere and be your best friend! She loves to play! We already have cats and she doesn’t get along with them, I wish we could keep her because she’s such a great kitty.
