Hi. Eli is 7 years old. He’s friendly and cuddly. He’s missing a bone in his leg so he has issues running but otherwise he’s a happy and from what we were told from the Vet, experiences no pain.

Story
This 3-legged Male Kitty Kat is 11 years old. He truly likes adul has tolerated children. He comes from a family which just added to their family by 1 Baby! . He knew enough to run when the child learned how to crawl! I have kn this cat from when my son adopted it 11 years ago from a shelter where he did have to have a back leg amputated. He's done quite well with mobility and never strayed too far away from home. Right now, this family is in the process of moving to Florida and I, as Grandmother, offered to take care of him thinking he'd be ok with living with me. Unfortunate my dog is not good at all with new animals, let alone a Cat. And a 17 year old female has "met" him which did not go well either. I need to find a loving family which preferable has just adults, no dogs, other cats or children. Just a nice quiet home. He adjusted really well to me (love to feed him, brush him, etc). But this temporary home just is not the best for him at all.

Story
George is a sweet, curious, roly-poly of a cat. His markings are gorgeous, down to the two strips on his chin and his lighter colored belly. He took some time to gain confidence in our home, but following the lead of his best bud, Stella, he has learned the way. He is a bit shy and hesitant at first, but once he knows who his “people” are, he is an extremely silly, cuddly, and loving guy. He loves to play, tearing around the house, especially fun chases with Stella. He enjoys playing with wand toys and also anything that slides around, making noise on the hardwood floor. We laugh everyday at something he does. Once his energy has burned off, he will find his favorite cozy spot and relax. George LOVES watching birds and squirrels and bugs. He will demand lap time and make sure you pet his head exactly where he likes it and the giant purrs will start. George and Stella are bonded and must be adopted together but should be the only two cats in the home. Reach out for more info.

Story
Stella Bella, with her long, tall frame and eyes that look like a galaxy contained inside, is full of love for her people and her best bud, George. She is a vigilant kitty, always aware of what is going on in the house. She seems to be a social patroller– always wanting to make sure things are how she expects them to be. She is the smartest kitty we’ve ever seen. She has even mastered some commands with clicker training (she is incredibly food motivated). Stella gets really proud of herself when she knows she did something awesome. She enjoys puzzles, exploring, and wand toys. When she settles, she enjoys stretching her long self out in a lap with lots of purring to go along with her cuddles. Stella is a vocal kitty who will make sure you know when she needs something or has thoughts she wants to share. We find our “conversations” with her very entertaining. Stella and George are very bonded and must be adopted together but be the only two cats in the home. Reach out for more info

Story
Adopted Chotoo at a petsmart June 2024 at the age of 9 months . Fell in love with his big brown eyes. Though he was very sad in the beginning days as his sister had been adopted months prior. With lots of love and patience Chotoo came out his shell and showed us what a loving baby he is. Chotoo has big personality, as loving as he is he is pretty vocal when he wants to play or get head rubs. Loves to chase around his Older brother Squishy. For more relaxed fun, he enjoys watching birds and squirrels out the window. Usually pretty independent. Would love to find him a loving home where he can continue to live his best life
