Story
We got PK back in 2020. She was a stray that we saved, we got her at a very young age. She is now around 5 years old. I am hoping that she can go to a loving home where she can be cared for and loved. She is very sweet and loves to cuddle. But she is very independent and can get a little on the aggressive side when you do something she doesn’t like, for example she doesn’t like to be picked up and she doesn’t like being touched in the belly and sometimes the paws. It’s best to not mess with her too much. But with the people she loves and really warms up too she rarely ever acts that way and is a loving cat who likes to lick and cuddle. She is a pretty calm cat who occasionally gets the zoomies. She used to cuddle with my dog back home until I moved out for college. I l don’t know if she is good with all dogs though. She is very good on her own and she isn’t much of a bother. As long as you’re there to give her attention when she chooses she needs it, she will live a happy life.

Story
Mango has been my grandparents cat for about 5 years. We found her in a little alleyway near the Frisco IKEA and the first thing she did when she got to our house was gobble up a bag of frozen mangoes! She is an incredibly sweet and human-loving kitty, but due to recent family dynamics and my grandmothers recent development of intense dementia, she is unable to be properly cared for without being rehomed. I am a full time vet student who has 4 cats of my own, so I unfortunately cannot pass on the responsibility. She tends to be very shy around new people and cats, but when she warms up she is the most cuddly and sweet cat you’ll meet! I ask that she goes into a loving home where she can be given love, safety, patience, and affection. She is spayed but is NOT currently up to date on her annual vaccinations and I ask that you affirm that you are going to to do if you are interested in her. Please contact me if you have any questions!

Story
Missy is almost 3 years old, was adopted in April 2025 from the Denton animal shelter. She’s a great cat, affectionate, playful, very clean, doesn’t scratch the furniture, minds very well. She loves to play, especially if you wave a toy on a string, she will happily run and jump around chasing it. She loves affection and being petted and will give you sweet love bites when you do it. She likes to sleep with you at night and generally likes to be around you or cuddle with you. Unfortunately, I have another cat, Wolfie, whom Missy doesn’t tolerate. Wolfie’s a sweet guy who tried his best to befriend her, but she rejects him, sometimes she hits him and he’s become miserable and depressed. She can’t stand him, and his presence stresses her as well. I never saw them fighting, but I keep finding tufts of hair when I get home from work. It breaks my heart, I really love her, but I think it’s better if Missy found another home. She’s a great pet, but maybe she should be an only cat.

Story
Ivy is a beautiful calico who is just over a year old. We have to rehome her due to financial constraints from losing an income. My MIL is also moving in and is very allergic to cats. Ivy is an indoor only cat right now, but was an indoor/outdoor cat for some time. She loves to play with cat toys and other cats. She loves tunnels and laser pointers. She is a talkative thing and loves to be in the same room as her humans. She will cuddle you, but doesn't like being picked up or pet. She is sweet and sociable and will greet everyone who comes over. She only likes dry food so it doesn't cost a lot to care for her. Nor does she like human food, so you will never have to deal with begging or jumping on the table.

Story
I've had the joy of raising this adorable little guy since he was born, and while it breaks my heart to consider rehoming him, we're unable to give him the love and attention he truly deserves. This affectionate 3-year-old, born in April, is a sweet and trusting companion. Once he warms up to you, he'll happily let you hold him and enjoy your company. He loves attention, and occasionally enjoys a brief adventure outside, always returning within 10-15 minutes. He even likes to play fetch from time to time! If you're looking for a loving and playful feline friend, he could be the perfect addition to your home.
