Story
Edward is around 4 years old and is a very sweet cat but has a ongoing problem of marking in the house. We've tried everything from medication to pheromone diffusers to help with this problem but he continues to do it. I think he may be better off as an outdoor or indoor/outdoor cat as he used to be a stray before he was rescued and we adopted him.

Story
Born on the streets of Missouri, this kitty has some territorial issues with other cats and trouble with eating his food too fast. Other than this, he is the perfect cuddle buddy and play partner. A sassy cat, he will let you know what he wants with his meows and purrs. He is a sweetheart, offering comfort in times of distress and I will be sad to have to leave him behind. The place I am moving to does not allow pets, it will break my heart to leave him behind, though, I will feel a bit better knowing he is going to a loving home with someone more equipped to give him the care he requires. He comes with his own supplies including: food and water bowls, food container, litterbox, nail clippers, carrier, cat toys and tower. All of these are optional, of course, and provided free of charge with pick up.

Story
Butternoodles had Cleo when she was about 4 months old last year, so they are both still young. They look just like each other (Cleo is a little rounder), and have been best friends since they first met. They come together as a pair. They are very laid back and relaxed, but also love to play with ribbons and toys. They grew up in a loving, calm and peaceful house. With their perfect stripes and long whiskers, they will make a lucky cat lover very happy.

Story
My name is Tobias and was born on a farm in northern Illinois. My human mom adopted me as a 12 week old and I’ve been living the quiet life ever since. I played often with the grandchildren, but now they are grown and flown. I enjoy lounging in the sun and exploring the outdoors after twilight. My “mom” is moving to assisted living and I’m not able to join her. I prefer to be your only pet, as I have never had other animal friends. I’m easy to please & promise to behave. I am a gentleman after all.

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

Story
Adopted squishy from animal shelter around 7 months of age in March 2023. Squishy loves to bird watch during the day and loves to snuggle and sleep next to you. Enjoys his daily naps under the sunlight. Amazing with other cats. Likes to play and run around the house with his brother Chotoo. Non dramatic and easy maintenance. Looking for new home where he can enjoy all these things and be comfortable . Over all where squishy can be loved more then he was loved by us.

Story
I'm Fizzy. I have spent the last chapter of her life being an incredible, attentive mother to my kittens—even joining in on their playtime! Now that my "mom duties" are over, I am looking for a forever home where I can finally be the center of attention. I am a world-class snuggler who loves nothing more than being a lap cat. If you’re in a recliner, expect a nap buddy to join you immediately. Don't let my "lap cat" status fool you; I have plenty of kitten-like energy. I love chasing toys and am a big fan of cardboard scratchers and climbing cat trees. I have a healthy appreciation for treats and mealtime, which makes me very easy to bond with. I am a high-energy, affectionate cat who sometimes gets a little too "into" the moment. When I become overstimulated during play or petting, I may give "love bites" or get a bit mouthy to let you know I need a break. Because I am still learning to navigate my excitement, I would thrive best in: A home with adults or older children who can recognize my body language and give me space when I have had enough "love." An environment with plenty of vertical space (like cat trees) and enrichment to keep my mind and claws busy. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will play hard and nap harder, I'm the one for you! Stop by PetCo to meet me.
