Story
This little guy is so precious and I’d love to find him a nice home! He was abandoned and joined the colony of 6 other stray cats on my street. The only difference is that he is a lover and the other cats want nothing to do with humans other than their free food ha. I brought him inside after seeing him come around for a week, and took him to the vet. They let me know he’d already been neutered as a kitten but wasn’t a stray at the time since his ear is not clipped. According to the vet, he is 3-4 years old but he’s tiny (7.7 pounds). He’s all up to date on vaccines and tested + cleared for FIV and leukemia. He’s a cuddly and playful little guy who gives forever kitten energy! I’d love to keep him but I have 2 sibling cats who are really not good with other cats. If you’re looking for a fun and sweet companion, he is your guy!

Story
"Atreyu" was originally purchased by myself in September of 2020 at roughly 10 weeks of age from a breeder who had him listed as a Savannah Lynx Hybrid. From my own research he shares some features of this breed, however "Google Lens" believes he is a Highlander. The registration form on this website does not list either of these breeds, so I just selected "Tabby". Atreyu just celebrated his 6th birthday on July 2nd. He is very much an involved cat who enjoys being where you are, and he is always in search of an open lap. I can confirm that he is non aggressive towards humans (Adults and older children), other cats, however dogs are unknown. Atreyu lives with another cat we have who is 2 years old. NOTE: Atreyu is declawedThe reason we sadly must rehome him is due to our 1 year old daughter. While nothing significantly has happened, Atreyu does show signs of standing ground toward our daughter when she gets close to him. With another baby on the way, we are concerned what could happen.

Story
Hi, my name is Yukie. ❤️ I’m a very sweet boy who has been through more than I ever should have had to. I once had a family and a home, but sadly, they moved away and left me behind to figure things out on my own. Since then, life has been difficult for me, and it has taken some time for me to learn that I can trust people again. I’m a very sweet and food-motivated boy, but I need someone with patience who will give me the time and space I need to adjust. I may be shy and unsure when I first meet you, but once I feel safe and comfortable, you will see my sweet personality come shining through. ❤️ I can also be independent and calm, so I’m perfectly happy relaxing on my own and enjoying some quiet time. I do best in a quiet, peaceful environment where I can feel safe and take things at my own pace. Unfortunately, I am afraid of dogs because I had a very bad experience with them in the past, so I would do best in a dog-free home. It has been a long and difficult journey for me, but I am ready for a fresh start. All I need is someone willing to open their heart, give me patience and love, and show me that I am safe. Will you be the person who gives Yukie the second chance he deserves? 🐾❤️

Story
JJ and Cali were born in our neighborhood and their mom would stash and nurse them in our yard. They have their first round of shots. And I can provide $300 so that you can spay them. JJ is soft and kind. She is playful and cuddly. Cali is silly and energetic. She is also a snuggler and will nap on your lap.

Story
I've had Klaus since he was a kitten. He is 11 years old as of 4/1/26. Klaus would do great with anyone who would love to cuddle. Klaus has done well with other cats and small dogs in the past. Considering his clingy nature and need for attention, he would thrive best in a single cat home or perhaps with one other pet. He is a healthy senior boy outside of a health incident in the past, a urinary blockage, which now requires him to be on prescription food. This looks like $140/month. I will provide new family with 3 months' supply. Klaus is sweet-tempered and outgoing. He is vocal when it comes to mealtimes. His greatest joys are cuddling and eating. As far as cats go, he is quick to warm up to new people. He's befriended and charmed everyone at the vet. Nail clipping is an easy process with him in your lap and a churu treat in hand. I am not in a position to care for him any longer, I would love to see him with a family that can love and adore this sweet cuddlebug.

Schooner is a sweet shy cat that keeps to herself. She is not aggressive. We have a newborn and we are moving soon so unfortunately we can’t keep her. I have a folder with all of her medical records, she is completely healthy and happy. A quiet home would be preferred, as she is very shy.

Story
We love her so much, but Buma is a street kitty that I took in three years ago and she never quite adjusted to living inside in terms of a litterbox. She uses it maybe 80% of the time, but will sometimes poop or pee outside the box. I'm not sure if it's a stress thing because of my other cats that she never quite learned to get along with totally. She's so sweet and would probably thrive as an only cat, but we already had two resident cats that we've had for years and no room to keep them separate. She also developed a weird allergy when we moved to our new apartment that will likely clear up when she is rehomed. The vet is confident it is an environmental allergy because our new place is surrounded with a lot of greenery and different plants. As of now she licks off her fur in one area due to the itching. She's a really sweet girl who deserves a good, loving home.
