Story
Lulu is a beautiful domestic short-haired cat with a Tuxedo colored coat. We adopted her when she was 6 months old and have had her for a year. She can best be described as very shy, a lounger, and will thrive best in a home without a dog and without little kids. We tried for a year to get her used to our doggo (who adores her), but she's just not having it, and we will feel better knowing she is more comfortable and free to thrive in a new home without a dog. As for the kids part, she's extremely shy, and runs away to hide from strangers. Little kids might interpret this as the cat not liking them, but older kids will likely understand her personality. Please consider adopting her if you feel your home can provide the best environment for her to thrive.

Story
Pet Profile: Yumiko (Yumi) Breed: Domestic Shorthair Gender: Female Age: Adult Spayed/Neutered: No Vaccinations: Most likely not vaccinated Adoption Background: Adopted as a stray Personality: Super friendly and social, with a charming chirping meow that will melt your heart. Yumi is a loving and attentive mother to her kitten. She's also very intelligent and attentive to us when we talk to her. She loves to curl up at our feet when we go to sleep. Behavior with Other Pets: Does not get along well with other cats. Special Notes: Yumi is a very sweet and affectionate cat. She thrives in a loving environment but would do best in a home where she is the only cat. She loves to play, especially with laser toys. She's litterbox trained. Why We're Rehoming Her: Despite her sweet nature, Yumi has difficulty getting along with our existing cats. We believe she would be happiest in a loving home where she can be the center of attention.

Story
We got Aura and another cat ( both Female) a couple of years ago from a family that had kittens. Aura has always been a little anxious and had a harder time settling, and after we had a baby she's retreated back to being very reserved and shy. With her anxiousness I believe she would do much better in a home with no other pets and no children. She has had the issue of spraying during heat with the other cat around, which we believe would stop if she got spayed. We do not have the ability to pay for it, which is why we would love to rehome her to someone who can meet all her needs. Aura is independent but also loves to cuddle occasionally. She loves setting in the window to watch outside, her favorite toy is a laser, and of course she loves her catnip.
