Story
Pancake is the most loving cat you will ever meet. Super needy and extra snuggly. She'll never claw or hiss at you. Great with kids. Kind and patient. Unfortunately she wants to be the queen of cats and is very aggressive with her sister Bacon. She needs to be an only cat so she can rule the cat tree. Under stress she does pee outside the litter box but she is very smart and will do it infront of you to tell you something is going on. Peeing outside of the litter box happens occasionally. She has been checked for problems and has been treated for UTI. After it all she really is an amazing cat and Im sad to let her go but I must. I will provide food and a container of litter for her. You must bring your own carrier.

Nina is a very sweet cat. She is 12 years old and loves attention. If you're sitting on the couch, she will jump up and come lay with you. She loves pets and belly rubs. Unfortunately we are moving in May and our new place doesn't allow for animals. We are looking for a responsible, caring individual or family that can take her in. She doesn't work well with other pets--we've tried. She gets anxious and territorial. If she will be the only pet, she will thrive and live a happy life with you.

Story
Leilo is such a lovable cat. He loves attention and loves to be around his favorite human. We’re unable to afford his shots, or his neutering and no one is home with him and he stays in one room all day and night and it’s breaking my heart. We are not allowed pets in my new place and he’s spraying everywhere and I’m afraid if I don’t do something soon then I’ll be at risk of eviction with my two children. We love Leilo, but we are no longer able to give him what he needs. He cries for us all day and it breaks my heart because he can’t walk around without fear of him spraying and destroying my home. He needs attention and the love from a family that has time for him. He’s a year old and we’ve had him since he was 5wks old, the last 3wks has been hard for him because he no longer sees us. Please help me!!

Story
Atlas is a stunning lilac point male with soft, cream-colored fur and delicate gray-lilac markings on his face, ears, paws, and tail. This big, gentle boy has overcome a rough patch; he arrived as a stray with an injured front leg, clearly having once known the comfort of a loving home before finding himself struggling on the streets. Despite his difficult time outdoors, Atlas's sweet nature shines through. He quickly formed an unbreakable bond with Ozzy, a local feral cat, and the two became inseparable within days. Now safely back to indoor life, Atlas is absolutely thriving. You'll find him basking in sunny spots, playfully batting toys around the house, wrestling with his best friend Ozzy, and shadowing his favorite people from room to room like a devoted companion. This affectionate boy is the definition of a love bug—a true clinger who craves attention, praise, and quality time with his humans. He lives to hear what a good boy he is and would be happiest with an owner who can offer plenty of bonding, play sessions, and reassurance. Atlas is wonderfully social with other cats and tends to be easygoing, even a bit of a pushover with more assertive felines. While he can be insecure at times (understandable given his past), he bounces back quickly and is steadily rebuilding his confidence and trust in people. Atlas would do best in a calm, loving home where he can continue healing emotionally and truly settle into the safe, pampered life he deserves. Atlas is bonded with Ozzy, and the two must be adopted together.  All Stray to Spay cats & kittens are: Fully vaccinated, Spayed/neutered, Dewormed, Triple tested (FeLV, FIV, Heartworm). Adoption includes an application, vet/reference check & virtual home visit. All of our cats are fostered indoors in loving Omaha-area homes until they find their forever family!    ##2650397##

Story
Ozzy is a handsome black male, approximately 2-3 years old, and a former feral who has blossomed beautifully into indoor life. This bright, gentle-natured boy has proven that with patience and love, even cats who've known only the streets can become wonderful companions. Don't let his feral past fool you; Ozzy is outgoing, relaxed, and gets along famously with everyone he meets. He's curious about the world around him and approaches new experiences with an open mind (though he's decided the vacuum and fast-moving feet aren't for him!). His best friendship with Atlas is the stuff of legend; the two are inseparable, spending their days sumo wrestling and cuddling together in equal measure. Ozzy is remarkably well-mannered with excellent litter box habits, and he's shown absolutely no interest in returning to his rough outdoor life. When he greets you, he does so with the most polite, endearing meow you'll ever hear. While he can be cautious with newcomers at first, his silly, playful personality quickly emerges once he feels comfortable. This intelligent boy thrives on petting (belly rubs included!), engaging playtime, and mental stimulation—he has so much intellect and heart to share. What's particularly impressive is his gentle play style with humans; he's always mindful and never uses his claws, showing just how much he's learned about trust and kindness. Ozzy would be perfect for someone patient and understanding who can appreciate his journey from feral to fabulous. He's proof that every cat deserves a chance, and he's ready to reward his forever family with loyalty, affection, and endless entertainment. Ozzy is bonded with Atlas and the two must be adopted together.  Ozzy is FIV positive, but that should not affect his ability to live in a home with other cats as long as introductions are slow. He is bonded with Atlas, who does not have FIV. To learn more about FIV, please read: https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-infection All Stray to Spay cats & kittens are:  Fully vaccinated, Spayed/neutered, Dewormed, Triple tested (FeLV, FIV, Heartworm).

Junie will be 2 years old in July and surprisingly small for a 2 yr old cat. She is the sweetest cat Ive ever had I am truly sad to re home her this is my only option or I’ll have to surrender her. I move within the next week and my new lease only allows 2 pet limit. Shes a bit shy with other cats at first but warms up to them. Shes good with smaller dogs but scared of larger dogs. When she’s the only kitty in a room thats when she truly blossoms and comes out of her bubble. She loves belly rubs and cleaning your fingernails. She is very calm and just loves to get pets and snuggle. She does get spooked to small noises or sudden movement and might run away but she comes back around eventually. Other than that she is the ideal cat!

Story
We call him Lupa.. we have had him since he was a kitten. He has had urinary issues following an injury about 10 years ago, requiring special food. He needs to have two litter boxes. He is SO SWEET and cuddly and loving. He still has his claws, he is neutered. He will come with everything he needs and I really hope I can get updates/ pictures in his new home. We have 2 big dogs that he is fine with but he has grown up with them so I think he would do best as an only fur child. He is WONDERFUL with children though (we have a 4yo and 10mo old and he is great with both). We love him and this has been such a hard decision, but my husband's allergic reactions have been getting worse and worse unfortunately.
