Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
The most social of the three! She LOVES playing with all sorts of objects; jingle bell toys, (earbuds if you're not careful), milk carton seals, bottle caps, colored pencils, and straws just to name a few. She also loves the red laser pointer and chicken treats. She purrs a lot and will happy nip and bite (habit since birth.) She's fat and playfully feisty when not sleeping! Also loves fuzzy blankets, full-hand head rubs, and snuggling near me when I'm at my desk, she will rest her chin on my hand and go to sleep purring. Likes to climb in lower kitchen cabinets. Not de-clawed.

Story
Gashar is my miracle kitty who needs a miracle. An amazing emotional support cat, his cuddly personality and soothing purr anchored me post-surgery. By timing my mend to his meals, he also helps manage my disabilities. Despite being an old man (13), he loves to play and chase strings. He's a climber and faithful companion, braving the leap from my bed to my hammock for rocking cuddles. Gashar is in amazing health for being FIV and FeLeuk positive. He's a favorite of the KC Cat Clinic as they marvel at his great health. Unfortunately I need to move internationally where he can't follow. Thus, I am happy to send him to his new home with all his supplies. He would make an excellent first cat for someone wanting to see if cat companionship is right for them long-term, or continuing as an emotional support cat for someone who needs some loving attention.

Story
Tiggy was taken in as a stray a couple of years ago and cared for during her pregnancy and birth to four kittens (the remaining two are also looking for homes.) She needs a calm person and environment ideally, LOVES exploring, noisy mouse toys, and chasing a red laser pointer (and Bonkers chicken filled treats!) If she has these things to help her adjust, I'm sure she'll settle in well. She also loves laying on coats and fuzzy blankets!

Story
Whismur was found in the snow of Roeland Park in 2013, emaciated and pregnant. She is a survivor in every sense of the word. Because of her rough start, she has a big heart and a powerful voice - she never wants to be overlooked again. She is is a world-class snuggler who will melt her entire body into yours, climbing up your chest just to be closer to you. Because of her early trauma, she is never quiet about her needs. She will let you know exactly when it's time to eat, snuggle, or play. She needs a home where her chatting is welcomed as part of her big personality. She has a deep obsession with food and needs an owner who can provide unlimited access to food or a consistent feeding schedule/automatic feeder to help her feel secure. She still has the spirit of a kitten and loves to play every day. She is high-energy and plays hard so she would do best in a home with sturdy furniture or someone who doesn't mind a bit of "character" in their decor. Toys, cat tree, etc included.

Story
We have struggled with the decision to rehome our sweet, cuddly boy, Noodle. He is a wonderfully loving cat who LOVES humans and is good around kids. He does very well with other cats, as well. He is about 9 years old, up to date on shots, and healthy. He is an indoor cat and litterbox trained. Unfortunately, he does not tolerate dogs. We have tried for 3 years to help him acclimate to our pooch, but the poor guy just won't have it. He has developed a compulsive grooming habit out of anxiety since the dog joined us. We've tried separating spaces and even anxiety medication, but he continues to be very nervous around and even aggressive toward our dog. Sadly, this has created enough conflict in our home that it is impacting our relationship with him, and we think it is most fair to him to be in an environment more suitable for his personality. The perfect home for him would be a house with or without cats, with humans who enjoy a couch companion!

Story
When I got Henry I was work from home and he slept between my monitors or on me. I now work in an office and a 2nd job. Henry needs more cuddles than that. He has to have a fountain water bowl. He will not drink flat water. Henry is indoor only, never outside without his person and harness. Henry presents very shy and timid, but he warms up fast. He lived with a medium size dog for 6 months and did ok. He's never been around children. His birthday is April 2022. I have his medical records, where he has a clean bill of health. He does have a tinder tummy when he eats to fast or gets to playing to much with the water.
