Story
Figaro and Mr. Sandman are very sweet cats who both love to be near you. They are a bonded pair. Best buddies. Both males a littleover a year old. Both are wonderful with my dogs and my little grandson. I just have too many pets for just me, and work 13 hour shifts so I am having to downsize. They have only been kept indoors. Not eveninterested in going outside. They use a pet pivot (which I will send) and love their huge cat tree (which I will also send) and eat wet & dry food both. Very loving. Figaro loves to lay on your lap, and Mr. Sandman (Sandy) on your chest. They play very well together and have lots of fun. Very entertaining little guys :) Have both been neutered. Figaro has a really cool marbling effect on his coat. Mr. Sandman is a buff color with yellow eyes. 💛They are really cool, gentle, awesome and loving cats.

Story
Meet Stella! She is a sweet 12-year-old girl who loves belly rubs and lounging around the house. Stella is naturally shy and enjoys having her own space, but she can also be playful and affectionate once she feels comfortable. Stella currently takes Prozac daily for anxiety and has a well-established routine for taking her pill. The medication has also helped significantly with a history of occasional urine marking. Her prescription typically costs about $25–40 per month depending on the vet. She has been around dogs and children and generally chooses to hide rather than interact if she feels overwhelmed. She has never shown aggression. We received Stella from a family member, and unfortunately she has not been the best fit for our household. We would love to find her a calm, patient home where she can settle in and be comfortable. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Story
Lex Luthor (lexapro)He is a BIG boy! HUGE, but not fat! He loves the catnip/ silvervine blend and will just stick his face in the bag if you let him. He loves dried spaghetti noodles specifically. Sometimes penne. But with spaghetti noodles, he will beg at our feet until we throw him a couple, and he doesn’t eat them, he just breaks them with his teeth and bats them around the room. He likes cardboard boxes (for chewing, playing, and relaxing) and fuzzy blankets. His favorite toys are any wand toy on a string and anything with feathers, bonus if it’s a wand toy WITH feathers. Though he does try to eat the feathers. The cat tree has a bowl hammock that was his favorite spot to nap. He is extremely curious and too smart and clever for his own good. He has some anxiety and would benefit from a calm home. He gives the BEST head butts and does tippy tappy feet when getting pet or requesting pets. He loves forehead scratches and has a very loud motor purr.

Leia is a fun playful young cat(3yrs old). She’s energetic and fun to be around. She splooches and loves to lay on top of boxes. She has an older sister(adopted) and for her whole life so far they were fine until they got into a really bad fight while I was gone one day and they have had to be seperated since. The little reactions they’ve had together leia does her cute little meows of excitement seeing her sister but knows her boundaries and doesn’t go towards her or tries to attack her. Leia loves her space but sometimes likes to cuddle.Need gone ASAP, she is still very young and although she gets all the attention she desires when I’m not working, when I am working, she is alone. She has maybe another 17yrs of life and deserves a better one. I found her sick and almost dying when she was a kitten and took care of her since and she is ready for the next chapter in her life, she may be fine with other pets but not with her sister, she was fine with her for 3yrs up until the incident..

Story
Meet Tinker! I adopted Tinker in 2022 from Chatt HES. Sadly my fiancé is extremely allergic. Tinker turned 5 in August 2026. She is a wonderful cat who I would happily keep if our circumstances were different. She gets along very well with other animals and children. She is an active cat who enjoys playing and running around. She loves to be pet and brushed and has no issue being picked up and held. She also enjoys roaming around my backyard, but typically spends 95% of her time indoors. She loves to snuggle as well, but only on her own terms. She is totally up to date on all her shots and uses the litter box like a champ. Her favorite toys are plastic springs, which she will happily hit around for hours until she wears herself out. Tinker is not shy with guests and will happily get pets from anyone. My friends fall for her instantly. Please let me know if you have any questions! I’d be happy to answer. Also planning to include litter box, feeders, toys as I will no longer need them.

Story
Cali is a stray that we adopted when she was a young kitten between 8 and 10 weeks old. She loves to play and cuddle but does not get along well with other cats or children. She would make a perfect companion for a childless couple or a single person. She also does not like riding in vehicles and the garbage truck is her sworn enemy.

Talia is a very active, playful kitten who loves other cats! She purrs and makes biscuits when she sees her humans. She may be a bit timid at first, but she will warm up with treats and patience.
