Spayed or Neutered,

Story

My name is Kitty and I am a black domestic shorthair. I am a spayed female and I am 2 years and 10 months old. I am here because I was given up by my owner on 12/08/2023 due to the fact I have never gotten along with the other cats in the home. They were my family for 2 years and 7 months. I am used to staying inside during the day and inside during the night. I am a good kitty who uses the litterbox! I am a medium energy cat and I can live with an owner with no prior pet owning experience. I do not have a history of trying to escape the home, but the shelter staff always recommends owners be mindful that I do not accidentally sneak out on their way out the door. I can be good with men and women. I do not do well with children, because they scare me. I cannot live with other cats and it is unknown if I can live with dogs. I love to play, but can be shy at first around new people or in new places.All cats are tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, and cats over 6 months of age are tested for heartworms. They are also tested for intestinal parasites and receive routine dewormings. Cats are vaccinated against distemper and rabies, receive a flea preventative, are spayed/neutered before adoption, and have a microchip. Adoption fees include the initial automated registration of the microchip at the time of adoption.

We brought them into our house to assess them and keep them safe until we could make arrangements for their future, since we already have a full cat household.`Ross` and `Fiona` got along well with our cats and turned out to be affectionate people-friendlySweeties. Ross is more relaxed and persistently curious, and he likes to snuggle on laps. Fiona is bolder and faster to explore, and she likes being picked up and petted. They enjoy grooming each other and are enthusiastic playmates. Chasing each other and batting crumpled-paper balls across the kitchen were favorite games.

Story

We have had Parker since 2017! He has been raised with dogs mostly, and around 5 years old he got introduced to cats, but he was aggressive (he is not a fan of cats). He can handle dogs. When we had our daughter and had to move a few times for military purposes it really made him on edge and does not like children. He is super playful with toys, lasers, and VERY food driven. He is a cat who will sleep near you once comfortable but takes a few months to adjust to change. He likes to just exist and watch the birds. Parker is not a cat that likes being picked up and held, just likes to be near. He would really thrive in a quieter home with maybe a dog and no kids. We had him at our grandparents and he is happy, but they are unable to keep him at this time.

Story

Luke is a pure breed Bengal cat. His father was a regional winner and multiple grand champion. I got him from very well known Bengal cat breeder since he was almost 3 months. Now he is 5 years old and will turn 6 at the end of this year. He is shy cat for stranger, but actually he is a loving and affectionate companion. He just needs time to adjust to new things. He likes to play fetch and follow me everywhere. He likes to sleep on our lap. He allow us to trim his nail or brush his hair. He has never bit or scratch anyone. He get along with our 2.5 years old toddler very well. I’m finding new home for Luke because sometime he pee outside litter box. I consult with breeder and cat behaviorist. They think Luke might not get along with another cat we have, and we don’t have enough time to play with him, so we need a family that can give him more time. If you have more questions about Luke, please text me at (515) 708-2025
