Story
Sigtryggr, was a frightened stray, too afraid to let anyone approach for several months. He started sleeping in bushes at the end of my street. It was during the rain storm this past October. I made him a shelter and put food out. Soon he trusted me and was a loving and appreciative cat. I set him up in a bathroom with a window bed, toys and a heavily screened door, to get acquainted with my cat. Sigtryggr was taken to the vet, fixed, chipped, given a clean bill of health. The vet guessed him to be about one year. I love him,but sadly he can't get along with my other cat. I’ve shifted them from room to room, shutting doors and giving them turns on the back porch. I've introduced cats before, but this isn't working. Sigtryggr would be much happier wandering his own house without other cats, playing,or lounging on a sofa. He always uses his box, hasn't clawed furniture. Would love to see someone with cat experience and no cats adopt him! You deserve it and so does he!

Story
**🌿 Meet Greta – Your Calm, Gentle Companion 🌿** Greta is a beautiful 5-year-old sweetheart with the most peaceful soul. She’s the kind of cat who brings a quiet, comforting presence into your home, happy to simply be near you, soaking up the calm. A steady companion. Greta loves her cozy cubbies and little hiding spots where she can relax and feel safe. She’s not demanding or high-energy — she truly enjoys her peace. While she gets along just fine with other animals, Greta would really shine as a solo pet where she can have her own space and form a special bond with her person. She has been such a loving and wonderful pet to us, and making this decision has been incredibly heartbreaking. Due to recent circumstances, we have to find her a new home — and we are hoping to find someone who will cherish her as much as we do. Please reach out if you think you could give Greta the safe and loving space she deserves. 💛

Story
I am in an extremely hard situation right with my cat Felix and can no longer care for him. Over the past couple years I’ve had two babies and I have an older child. Felix doesn't seem to like the kids (more so scared of them) and hisses at my oldest child whenever they walk past him. He is truly a sweet cat but he fears children. He is great around other cats and gets along very well with them. I am hoping to find him a loving home with someone who doesn't have small children and can be patient with letting him warm up to them. I am not seeking a donation fee. I just want to rehome my cat to someone who can give him the best household for him bc mine unfortunately no longer is. He is 6 years old and enjoys treats, solid food, and wet food. His vaccines are up to date and just had his annual this past January. I have all his information from the vet.

Story
I got him at a move-out sale, he was so skinny but so loving, we joked - is the cat for sale too? The owner said he was actually free - could not take Unagi with him when he moved. The previous owner said he was 16 years old, had spent time on a farm, which is where he got him from. The vet said he was 10 years old , but could be anywhere in that range. I have had Unagi since Nov 2025. He is a chill old man, he is neutral/positive towards other cats, very sociable with all people, and loves his pets and his treats. I do have him primarily eating salmon food as alternatives impact his stool and can cause vomiting. He is a FAT LARD though and loves his treats and anything else he can beg off of you :) He does water tappies before drinking. Overall sweetie, calm, loves attention. He is a Professional biscuit maker with a raspy meow, he can use it too! Caution: Penchant for plant chewing, very mild anal gland expression issue - a quarterly vet visit is the solution

Story
I found a litter of cats outside. Shortly after finding them I was hospitalized and diagnosed with lung cancer. I am not able to take care of them like I was before I was diagnosed and I am sick a lot of the time. I just want to find them loving homes where they can have individual attention. Dempsey is a sweet fun loving active cat. He gets along with other cats. Keisha: very talkative, loves short walks under the sheets and air kisses. Gets along well with other cats. Bob: Pending application: Lap cat. Loves the window and following his person around. Gets along well with cats. George: I call him gentle George. He is the sweetest cat and loves to play and carry his toys in his mouth around the house. Richard: He is a lover boy. He loves to cuddle and play. He loves the window as well. He gets along with other cats well. He can fall asleep anywhere anytime. I only have 4 boxes. If you are interested in Richard please let me know and I can send you a picture of him.

Story
Yeti is a 4ish year old spayed shorthaired female cat that needs to be the only cat in the household. She has been outside most her life, but has decided she would like to be an indoor cat finally. She is up to date on all her shots and had a clean bill of health from the vet. She is the sweetest girl and will sit on your lap for hours. Yeti is a very vocal girl. She will chirp at you every time she sees you, and patiently wait for you to sit down so she can come and sit on your lap and make biscuits. She loves the attention, love treats and absolutely LOVES catnip. She is litter boxed trained as well.
