Story
Both cats are from the humane society and are spayed/neutered. The black cat is a boy named Cayden. He is 1. I would love for someone to take both because they have become very close. I also have a cat tree for them as well. I have to surrender them because my families allergies have gotten worse over time and would rather them be with some one that can fully take care of them

Story
Bubble is a sweet 1 year old boy. He seems shy at first, but really he is just calm and quiet. He warms up easily to people and is loveable and affectionate. He likes to be held, pet, and snuggled. He loves other cats and needs a home where he can have a buddy, another cat that is accepting and will welcome him as a companion.

Story
Valerie is a sweet girl who had a rough start in life. She was a young feral cat who found a nice lady to feed her outside and look out for her. She became pregnant and the lady called the rescue for help. We got her safe into foster and she gave birth one week later. She was able to nurse and care for her babies until they were ready for adoption. Then she was fixed and settled into a longer term foster home where she could be socialized with people. She was very skiddish and afraid of everything. Never aggressive, she would just freeze in place like a statue and hope you go away. It took a lot of one-on-one with her foster, but she finally came around. She learned that she loves to be pet and a good back scratching. She has been with a terrific bunch of cats in foster known as the trio. You couldnt ask for a better set of role-models. Observing the trio interact with people and each other has been very beneficial for Valerie. They are friendly, welcoming, gentle, and fun. At first Valerie wanted nothing to with them, mainly because she was just afraid of everything. She would stay as far away in her own area, while they played and had a ball. They always tried to befriend her and welcome her in, but she always remained independent of them and closely observed all their behaviors and games and routines. She began to show interest in toys and try playing with fuzzy mice and a spinning feather toy. She learned to relax and feel safe and let her guard down. Eventually she began to cohabitate very well with the trio. She still remains independent of them and has her own cat tree that everyone respects as hers, but she is no longer afraid of them, she will occasionally share a window seat with one of them. She watched the other cats get individual attention from their foster and finally decided she would like a turn. She created her own routine to let her foster know she is ready for pets. She goes on her cat tree and sits on her favorite perch watches everyone get their turn. She used to run away when it was her turn. Now she gives a look like, "don't forget me!". When you make that eye contact with her she knows she is understood and it has built her confidence tremendously to be able to communicate with the human. Then she flops over and rolls around with delight while you pet and scratch her for as long as you will. When you stop, she acts stunned and the look says "how dare you stop petting me". She has worked so hard to overcome her fears and form a sense of belonging. It's so great finally being able to pet her and her hair is extra soft like velvet. For a long time there was no sign of a personality in there, but now she has facial expressions, and purring, and the puppy dog eyes. I think she has come to enjoy the companionship of the trio, even if she doesn't join their group. So she doesn't have to be an only cat, but she would probably prefer to be. She has learned what she needed to from them and they have been glad to help her succeed. Now she's ready to bond with someone and learn what it means to have a home of her own. She will need a quiet home, one or two people, no kids or dogs. She is petite, and a pretty light silver color tabby.

Story
Luvbug is a special little fella who is wonderfully good-natured. He is a young boy 11 months old that was homeless. He caught a cold during the chilly rains and without proper care, he began to struggle out there on his own. A good samaritan who fed him regularly saw his need for medical attention and got him to a vet and into rescue for placement. He was easily treated with antibiotics for a quick and full recovery. We then had him fixed and fully vetted. He now has a clean bill of health and ready for adoption. He is a sweet, loving boy, very gentle, patient, and thankful for everything. We are told he was born outside and never had a real home, so it is incredible how trusting, friendly, and lovable he is - hence the name Luvbug. He's very well mannered with perfect litter box and grooming habits. His hair is softer than a bunny and he LOVES to be pet. He allows handling and has been very cooperative with the rescue process. He trusted strangers to help him when he was vulnerable and now he has the confidence to be himself and accept all the comforts of a real home. We are told he once had a sibling who went missing after the winter (as it's a tough survival out there and our hearts go out to him for his loss). Therefore, he would probably be a good friend for another cat his age who needs a nice companion. His personality is very mellow, calm, gentle and sweet. He could also do well as an only cat with someone who can shower him with all the love and attention he deserves. He is a great cat that will make someone very happy, so don't hesitate to inquire about this handsome, healthy young luvbug!
