Story
Looking for a forever home for Bowie 💔🐱 This is a hard decision made with love. My 5-year-old gray tabby, Bowie, is a sweet, vocal, and very affectionate boy who deserves a calmer home than I can currently provide. He’s 5 years old and very vocal and affectionate as well. He loves making biscuits at bedtime. He truly loves and bonds with his person and enjoys a peaceful household/environment. Unfortunately with a couple of roommates and another cat and dog he is feeling stressed and unhappy. This is not a decision taken lightly. My priority is finding Bowie a loving, permanent home where he can feel safe and content. Please reach out if you think you could be the right fit or would like to learn more about him.

Story
Hi my name his Helena, and I am a 1 year old stray cat looking for a forever home! I was spayed and given all my required vaccines/shots recently so I am good to go. About me: I am not the most cuddly cat you’ll ever meet; I appreciate my space. But I like a good head rub and forehead kisses on my terms. I’m very social if there’s any mention of food! I’m also technically a teenager, so when I warm up I definitely like to play with small toys and get the zoomies! I havent done very well in my current owners home as its too small for separated introductions and I dont like the other cat who lives here and doesnt respect personal boundaries. I would do better in a household where Im the only cat and there aren’t little children since Im very particular on boundaries. I can teach them to you, I just need to be respected! Contact my owner if you are interested in adopting me!

Story
I got Silly when he was just a baby from someone online. I've had him for somewhere between 4-5 years now. I love him more than anything in the world but I live in a small studio apartment and I just don't have the time available to give him my attention often enough. As much as it kills me to do this, I don't think it's fair for Silly to be cooped up here especially when I'm so busy and gone all the time. I'm looking for someone that has good space for Silly to roam, preferable a house but a 1-bedroom or multi person apartment would be fine as-well. He is spayed and neutered and up to date with vaccinations. He loves to play and be pet! Will cuddle when he warms up to you.

Everett is such a sweet boy! Timid at times but then very brave at others. He enjoys playing with feathers and likes to use a scratching pad. He enjoys his foster brother and would probably enjoy being with another cat to learn from and play with. He enjoys a butt rub and is ready to purr at every touch. We love the white mountain peak on his forehead and the white tip of his tail. He is timid around dogs but would definitely take his cues from other pets that dogs are ok. He was born in September 2024. He has been neutered & is up to date on his vaccinations. This animal is being fostered in the South but transport to a location near you is included in your adoption fee. We use Rescue Riders Pet Transport, (www.rescueridersllc.net), the most animal-friendly transport on the road.

Story
Amber is a very loving 8 month old boy cat. I’ve taken to calling him Slimey after Oscar the Grouch’s pet on Sesame Street because I think that’s cute >:~). He wants to cuddle, play, and sleep curled up with his person. I do not have time in my schedule to give him the affection that he needs, but he would be perfect for somebody who is looking for a constant companion! A home with other cats would be great for him as well - he is a little love bug with a lot of energy and would probably really appreciate having other cats to cuddle and play with.

Story
Bonded pair of adult neutered males, Phantom and Midnight. SW Minneapolis. Roughly 7 years old. Good with kids and humans (kind of attention hogs), not sure how they'd do with other pets, although they are generally chill bois. They belonged to a human who used to live with me and now doesn't, and who chose to leave them here and get a new cat instead. I'm allergic and just not able to give them the attention they need, and it's not fair to them. They are healthy and up to date on shots. I will ask for a donation to Alley Cat Allies (they're former strays) as part of the adoption. I don't need the money but they're not "free" bc I've heard too many horror stories. I'm probably going to want to see where they'd be living. They may not be my cats, but I care about them and want a good place for them.

Healthy , happy Severus Snape and his sister, Bellatrix were rescued from a storm drain when they were 4 weeks old. They were bottle fed by my kids and have been with us ever since. Lovely cuddly cats once they warm up to you. He weighs around 15 pounds and will be 6 years old in The summer. Bellatrix is around 13 pounds and is one of the kitties in the 4th photo I would love it if someone could adopt both cats but they have lived separately at various times due to my living situation I need to rehome Snape and his sister because I am moving out of the US this summer and can’t take them with me
