Story
This poor girl had to be rehomed cuz she lost her first owner, she was taken by another, to keep her out of the shelter. She did not get along with the resident cat. She was rehomed again, to me. I was supposed to be forever. But now my heart is failing. So sadly she needs rehomed again. I really want it to be forever for her this time. She needs someone who will understand her quirks and love her for them. She is loving and well behaved. But a spicey little thing. She likes to bite and claw, but she is always gentile. She needs time to trust you. It took her 97 days to become a lap cat. She does not even get in the trash. If she starts acting bratty it's because she wants something. Food, treats, to play. All her toys, dishes, 2 big cat trees, a soft sided carrier and litter box and litter mats go with her. I want to send the things that have her scent on them already. So rehoming is less traumatic. I would love updates. You will need to come here to meet her. Thanks

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Turk is a mysterious and shy black cat with a wild side that only those who take the time to get to know him will truly appreciate. Named after the spirited gorilla from Disney's Tarzan, Turk is often reserved, preferring to observe the world from a safe distance but underneath his quiet exterior is a heart just waiting to connect with the right family! Turk is still learning that humans aren't all that bad to be around and is looking for a family who will accept him just as he is—quiet, quirky, and full of potential! If you're looking for a low maintenance cat to make the house feel less empty, Turk will show you how wonderful it is to love a cat who’s one-of-a-kind.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Janet — a shy beauty with a story to tell. Janet is a stunning orange kitty with striking eyes, but she’s a bit on the skittish side. She may take some time to warm up to new people and environments, so she’s best suited for a calm, patient home where she can take things at her own pace. While Janet isn’t the cuddliest or most outgoing cat, she has her own quiet charm and enjoys observing the world from a safe, comfortable spot. With the right person who understands her boundaries, she can feel secure and even start to show glimpses of her personality. If you’re looking for a cat who thrives in a peaceful environment and you’re willing to let her come out of her shell in her own time, Janet could be the perfect companion for you.
