Story
Hi, I'm Milka! I am a shy girl with a lot of love to give! My siblings are warming up, but I'm still not sure about you humans - I much prefer other cats! In fact, I've never met another cat I haven't liked! I have a lot of love to give- any time one of my siblings purrs, I purr too and give them some loving headbutts and cuddles - but I'm still nervous about accepting any human affection. I will admit that I like being petted sometimes, but people are just so big and scary! I much prefer to sit near you and watch you so I can figure you out! I do like to keep close by, so maybe one day I will try cuddling up to a human like my siblings are starting to do, but I will need some time and patience before that happens. My purrfect forever home is one where I have lots of patience and quiet from my humans, and another kitty friend or two to love on!

Hello, my name is Dove! I am a shy and affectionate girl who loves to play! I am still very shy around people, but I adore other cats! I would love to have another kitty to play with in my forever home! I may be very shy, but with a little patience I will open up and show you my sweet side! I love being petted - I am usually right behind my brother Hershey to ask for some scritchies! If you scratch my cheeks, I will lean in so hard I sometimes fall over! I also love chasing my feather toys or those jingly balls with a feather attached! My purrfect forever home is one where you have a little patience to let me open up, then provide lots of love!!

My name is Godiva! I am a feisty, sassy girl who knows what she wants! My siblings and I may be a bit nervous around people, but don't think I don't have my eye on you! I'm watching your every move! My trust has to be earned - but I can be bribed with fun toys or treats! My favorites are those toys on a string - they're so fun to chase! I do like being petted, but it's only on my terms. However, if you have a churu treat, I'm much more likely to grant you permission! I'll let you know when I'm done - usually by turning pet time into play time! I still much prefer other cats to people, so I'd really like another kitty to befriend. I'm looking for a home where everyone understands that I'm in charge, and I can get some space to settle in and become the ruler I was meant to be!

Hey I'm Hershey!! I'm a sweet and silly boy who loves attention! I'm the bravest of my siblings, and I'm finding out that humans can be pretty cool! You've got all these fun toys for us to play with - my favorite is those feathers on a string! - and so many tasty treats! I have a lot of energy and love to run and play with my sisters, and my favorite game is a good old-fashioned wrestling match! After playtime, I like to seek out my favorite human for some scritchies! I love being petted, and will find you anytime you are sitting on my level so you can give me some attention! Sometimes I'll even sit in your lap! I'm looking for a home where I can get lots of playtime and even more affection! Maybe that could be your home?

Story
Lee is the kind of cat who always has to be around people, but doesn't want you to know that he needs it. He's a special little chonker who loves food and a good nap. He also is particularly fond of falling asleep on freshly cleaned laundry and sitting on chair arm rests. I am moving in with my girlfriend who has a cat with FIV, and taking Lee with me is not an option, for many other situation reasons, but one of the main reasons being it wouldn't be a healthy option for Lee to be exposed to FIV, and hence I need to rehome him. If you wan't a fluffy chonky companion for your home, consider Lee boy.

Story
Hi! My name is Queso and my mommy is trying to find somewhere I can call home! One thing about me is that I am super friendly! I don't get scared around new people, nor do I hiss or scratch! Instead, I attempt to always jump on your lap to receive hugs. I love to be held and my favorite past time is cuddling up next to my owner and taking naps! In addition to being super loving, I am also playful with people and pets! My mommy says that if you adopt me, she will give you ALL of my favorite toys and even my cat bed. But if you want to buy me new presents, I won't be opposed. :) I will be separating from my mommy AND my little sister, therefore this may be a tough transition for me. So I hope to be with a new family that will welcome me and give me all the love, attention, and treats necessary to make me feel right at home! My mom may be worried, but I adapt quickly to my environment! So if you 'd like a furry companion in your space, don't hesitate to adopt me!

Story
Sophie has been with us since she was a kitten. She is now a spry 14-year-old. Sophie is very independent and entertains herself most of the time (she gets bored with toys but does like to chase the laser from time to time). Sophie greets me at the door every time I come home from work. While it's probably because she knows she'll be fed, it's also because she misses both me and my husband when we're not there. Sophie likes to sleep in the crook of my back when we go to bed, but she'll only stay there until she's bored and wants to do something else. Sophie is not declawed, so her new owners will need to know how to cut a cat's front claws, especially because Sophie can reach out as I or my husband pass by her and a claw can embed in a shirt or skin. It's with affection she's doing that, not aggression, but I want to be sure the adopter knows of that habit once she gets to know you. She has no problems with her cat box and never goes outside of it. Change litter once a week.

Story
Izzy is approximately 17 years old. She was a stray that we took in when my son was about 4 years old. My son is now out on his own and unable to have a pet where he lives. I travel for work during the week and have a busy weekend schedule. She is a mellow cat that only meows when she is out of food or water. She is use to dogs and small children as I have grandkids. I would not say she loves their attention but she has never been mean or aggressive towards my grandkids. Her front feet are declawed. She is strictly an indoor cat but enjoys hanging out on my screened in patio. I have an automatic feeder that will go with her as well as her litter box if interested. I have not kept up with her shots as she is never outdoors.

Story
Taylor and Stevie are a bonded pair of female domestic short hair ~1 year old cats that we adopted last September. Since we adopted them, Taylor has not been using the litter box consistently. A special diet has helped, and while she does use it about 50% of the time, she still leaves “treasures” on the floor to clean up. We have tried several different methods to promote litter box use (multiple boxes, different types of litter, products to entice litter box use, etc.) along with countless vet visits resulting in medications (nothing long term) and ultrasounds. Besides Taylor’s bowel issue, they are perfect cats. They are sisters who were under two pounds when they were found at the shelter and in our home they have grown to be pre-teen kitties with big personalities! They love to cuddle and nap together and play fetch with toy mice. We know there is a loving individual or family who will be able to better support Taylor and give them both an amazing forever home!
