Story
Meet Kit (our all-American girl next door). Kit is shy and can be hesitant around new people - stray-kitten street life will do that to a girl - but with patience and gentleness, she warms up. And once she warms up? Oh. My. God. She becomes the sweetest sweetie pie you’ve ever met: 🐾 Walks you to the bathroom like the buddy system is her job. 🐾 Bonks her head into your hand for pets like “hello, it is I, your emotional support biscuit.” 🐾 Suckles her blankie ~ inner child healing 🐾 Cuddles your feet with the devotion of someone who has seen some things and has chosen you as her person. With Feliway and Attract litter, her anxiety has improved tremendously, and she thrives in calm homes where she can trust slowly and deeply. She’s grown up around other cats and tends to be the lowest in the social hierarchy, but when she’s lived alone, she’s really come out of her shell. If you’ve ever dreamed of a best-friendship with a tenderhearted little tabby, she's waiting to meet you ☺️

Story
Buds is an easy and endearing cat to care for. He is ~9 years old, sweet, happy, and affectionate. He loves to bond with gentle and kind adults, but he keeps his distance from our two year old son. He has never been aggressive toward children, even when provoked repeatedly. He simply keeps his distance. He prefers things to be calm and quiet. He likes attention and will often want to be close to us or sit on our lap. Buds is a great house cat for anyone looking for a loyal companion. Before welcoming Buds to your home, you will want to make sure you put away plastic bags laying out, because he has a bad tendency to chew on plastic bags, wrappers, etc. We keep our house pretty free from plastic, but if he does eat some plastic he typically throws up that day. Accidents can be kept to a minimum if plastic is avoided and the typical "sensitive stomach" variety of cat food is purchased (same price as normal). Otherwise Buds has a great health record!

Story
my sweet little orange baby, Gina. She’s 2 years old, spayed, litter box trained and such a beautiful girl inside and out. Gina has the sweetest personality. She’s a very shy cat who loves to keep to herself, but she’s never mean or aggressive. She loves sitting in windows and watching the world outside, and she does well around both people and other cats. HAS NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE She would do best in a calm, loving home where she can take her time to feel safe and comfortable. she’s such an easy, gentle little soul to have around.

Story
Scarlet is an incredibly social, loving, and rambunctious 11-year-old cat. Unfortunately we have had difficulties with her urinating outside of the litter box which has turned into a health issue for our young children. We’ve tried everything including visiting the vet for scans which found she’s in perfect health other than the beginning of some hip arthritis due to her age. Scarlet would do well in a house where she receives lots of love and attention and doesn’t have to share litter boxes with another cat. She also enjoys being outside, and living in the country where it’s safe for her to spend more time outside might solve her urinating in the house issues. We love her so much and are heartbroken that nothing we’ve tried has worked. Our hope is that someone can give her the attention she needs to solve this issue.

Story
Sara is an adorably sweet cat. I adopted her when she was only 4 months. She was in a home with a large, noisy family. I say this because she became traumatized from this. When I went to adopt Sara, the members of the family used to chase after her, and poor Sara would hide in her cat tower. Sara is a very sensitive cat, and needs alot of love and attention that i tried to provide for her. However, Sara does not get along with my other cats, and that's unfortunately why I decided i must find her a better home, preferably one that does not have other pets. Shes a sweetheart, loves to cuddle, sits on your lap, and loves people. She likes fish meals, sitting by the window, rolling in the backyard, and chilling with her loved ones. I hope Sara finds a better home for her :)
