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's the perfect cuddle buddy and play partner. A sassy cat, he'll let you know what he wants with his meows and purrs. Admittedly, I've spoiled this boy when it comes to attention, perhaps to make up for my lack of funds to afford medical expenses. He's not up to date on his adult shots and has a problem with excess itching in his ears. These are small expenses I'm sure, though in the middle of saving for a big move I haven't been able to take care of him the way he needs. He is a sweetheart, offering comfort in times of distress and I'll be sad to have to leave him behind. The place I'm moving to does not allow pets, it'll break my heart to leave him behind, though, I'll feel a bit better knowing he's going to a loving home with someone more equipped to give him the care he requires.

Story
Butternoodles had Cleo when she was about 4 months old last year, so they are both still young yet mature. 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
Miel is a young female grey tabby about 1-2 years old as far as we can tell. She came to us after her and her young kitten at the time could not be taken care of her previous owner. Unfortunately, with 3 cats of our own and another foster cat we cannot keep her in our house. She is a very loving cat who does good with our other cats. She is a very quiet cat who does like to meow a lot but does love snuggles, especially when all the other cats join. We are looking for a loving person or family who will give Miel her forever home.

Story
Our poor 2 year old female, Honey has been through a lot. We rescued her from a house with 30-40 cats of all different ages fending for themselves, with 2 litter boxes and only a few bowls of water and food. We found her as this calm little baby, but we knew her calm was because she was giving up. We brought her immediately to our vet and nursed her back to full health. She was separated from our 2 male cats for the month, because of ear mites and other problems that we’d addressed with vet. After that month the three cats mended and bonded so well, and she was the missing link to our family we didn’t know we needed. Then our son was born, and the trauma of her past came back, as we introduced an unpredictable small human (she’d never met kids) into the home. At first, she seemed well. After 6 months, we realize his presence brought out her past. Skittish, hides for days, won’t come out to eat. Will pee where she’s hiding, from fear of coming out. We’ve tried everything, help :( <\3
