Story
We inherited Peggy Sue from a family member in Feb 2025. Her name was Boe, she was stressed, fearful and lashed out at everything and everyone. At the time we had two other cats, she hid for three weeks. She finally bonded with me and became my shadow. She is quite the lap cat! I renamed her Peggy Sue because it fit. My husband and I hoped that she would eventually adjust to our quieter lifestyle and our multiple cat household. But she has not. She is so sweet with me, following me everywhere and wanting in my lap, but she only tolerates my husband, and she lashes out at the other cats, hissing and growling. It seems like her only language is hissing and growling! She needs to be the only pet in the household, ideally with one person that she can claim as her own. She needs someone who will be gentle and patient with her and tolerant of her quirks. Somewhere out there is her perfect home. Adoption fee is negotiable with right home.

This popped, she was born on Sept 11, 2022, she is a very loving cat and is an indoor cat, she has never been outside. I raised from a kitten because her mother was a stray and her mother was pregnant and we did not know it, she is very playfully but also shy, she loves cat towers and cat nip, she don't like to be picked up much she is very layed back, I have to find a good home for her someone that will care for and give her lots of love, she is good with dogs and other cats, she also has a sister they look all most alike I also have other cats that need good homes. If interested let us know. She has no shots because she is an indoor cats. She did have them when she was spayed.

Story
Cherry is an incredibly loving, talkative, and cuddly cat. Shes about 4 years old and is such a sweetheart. Rehoming her is a very difficult decision that I have taken a long time to come to but its the best option for her and my home. The reason ive come to this decision is because she hasnt adjusted well to my home with my female cat. She does wonderful with my male cat and she loves him dearly, shes good with small dogs, big dogs im unsure of. Shes a very sweet girl and she deserves a calm home with no other female cats and unfortunately I can not provide that. I want whats best for her, and I know shed be a great addition to the right home

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!
