Story
Natasha is a sweet and friendly 3 year old, female, Persian cat. She has been with us since she was about 16 weeks old. She loves people, being petted, being brushed, sitting on her favorite chairs, and going outside/watching outside activity. She is very calm and gentle with our one year old son. We have not had her around other cats and dogs so unsure how she is with them. She spends most of her day chilling on different spots in the house and asking for pets. She does not enjoy being held for long, but loves to sit next to you. She does love going outside as well. She is very playful, but does mostly like to chill. Please note that she does have allergies and takes nasal drops to help with the sneezing. Also, can add on her Litter Robot 4 bought a year ago for additional price. Looking for another owner that can give her the attention that she deserves, it has been difficult for us to love on her as much as she needs with our place in life right now.

Story
🐈‍⬛ 🐾 This special, majestic boy is looking for his purr-fect home — could that be with you? 🐾 🐈‍⬛ Behold: Gideon. A 7-year-old FIV+ velvety cryptid, cloaked in mystery, fluff, and just enough mischief to keep life interesting. He appeared one day like a cursed artifact from a fantasy novel — matted, scarred, missing a few toes, one eye doing its own thing — and immediately decided your office chair was his rightful throne. What makes Gideon special (besides literally everything)? • He has some hind-end weakness, giving him a delightfully dramatic “haunted marionette” walk. • His litter box habits are… selective. Predictable? No. Endearing? Also no. But we love him anyway. • He’s FIV+, which mostly just means he’s got street cred and needs a loving indoor home. • He is fluffy, fabulous, and silently judging you at all times. • He makes biscuits like he’s working overtime in a ghost bakery. Gideon isn’t your average cat — he’s a vibe. A dramatic little weirdo with a tragic backstory and a powerful need to nap on important paperwork. He’s not perfect… unless you’re into handsome, affectionate office goblins who yell for snacks and occasionally poop slightly off target. And here’s the most important part: Gideon is full of love. He meows for attention, seeks out pets, leans into affection, and truly wants to be near his people. Despite his quirks and rough past, he has so much love to give and deserves the same safe, cozy, forever home as any other animal. If you’re looking for a quiet, “normal” cat who fits neatly into a box on command… keep scrolling. But if you’re ready for a lovable, adorable, cursed treasure with a heart of gold and the soul of a gremlin king —✨ Gideon awaits. ✨ Apply to adopt Gideon here 👉 https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/RAR/Cat

Story
I was such a good mama and raised all my kittens! Now it's MY turn to be spoiled! So far, I havent adjusted to rescue life too great. I've never bitten or scratched anyone, but tend to keep to myself most of the time. I will purr for you if you put me in your lap, but once I'm down, I usually go and hide. Inside life can be scary, but it was too dangerous where I came from to go back there, outside. I just need a quiet place with someone who is patient and loving! I may never follow you around the house, but I'm super low maintenance and dont we all deserve a safe, loving home? ##2657929##

Story
Smokey is the sweetest kitty youll ever meet. He is shy at first, but INCREDIBLY affectionate and forms deep bonds with his person once he’s comfortable, as you can see in the photos. He’ll never forget to remind you about breakfast and he loves to cuddle and be held like a baby. Because Smokey is such a sensitive soul, he sometimes shows stress through his bladder (a common condition in cats called FIC). The good news is that with a steady routine, lots of love, and a urinary-support diet, he does wonderfully. In the right home, he’ll be a happy, healthy companion for years to come. He CAN be adopted with his bonded buddy, Little Chef, but it is not required. Smokey would also be perfectly content being someone’s one-and-only. There’s no way to fit all of Smokey’s wonderful qualities into one paragraph. If you think you might be the right fit, please reach out and feel free to ask any questions. He is ready to meet his forever person.

Story
Mikey is an absolute heart-stealer. This fluffy, long-haired tabby with one adorably folded ear (a badge from his street days) has never met a human he didn’t want to be best friends with. Call his name, and he’ll come running — every. single. time. He’s like a little dog in cat form, and people fall for him instantly. He’s also a special needs sweetheart. Mikey is in stage one kidney failure and has arthritis, which means he needs a special diet and daily pain meds. He also has a condition that affects his ability to fully pass stool, so he gets Miralax twice a day — a little sprinkle mixed into his food does the trick. He’s a creature of habit and will let you know (loudly and clearly) if his care routine isn’t up to his standards. Despite his medical needs, Mikey is a playful, affectionate, deeply intuitive boy who loves snuggling up in your lap, chatting about his day, or romping with other cats — as long as he’s feeling good. If he’s acting cranky, it’s usually his gentle way of telling you something’s not right. Mikey would thrive in a home that can meet his needs and shower him with love — because he’ll give it back tenfold. He’s a wise, wobbly little soul with the heart of a lion and the charm of a stand-up comedian.
