Story
We are late in life and cannot care for her any longer . Nixy never meows or misses her litter box and stays inside always. She is not a cuddler but very easy to have around. She eats only dry food and a dry treat twice a day besides her dry food.

Story
___ "Chonk" is 7 years old and an indoor-only cat. He's laid back, and very affectionate. ___ He likes to sleep near you, just a little under the covers. ;-) He 'trills' at you to 'talk' to you, and sometimes to wake you up for attention. ;-) ___ He's the best snuggle buddy ever with a sweet temperament. ___ He will tolerate a dog that's not hyper and that will ignore him. ___ He has "issues" with vacuum cleaners & brooms - he hisses at them and will hide. ;-) -- I'm hoping for a new owner who will keep Chonk forever, and care for him the way he deserves.

Story
___ "Girly Girl" is 7 years old and an indoor-only cat. She's very affectionate once she gets to know you. ___ She isn’t a bed-sleeper, but likes to sleep in a cat cushion on a table. She'll be around you if you work from home, laying on the desk near you, and putting her head on your arm while looking up at you adoringly with her big beautiful eyes. ;-) --- She 'chirps' at you to 'talk' to you. And though she doesn't like to be picked up much, she'll need to be where you are. --- She doesn't like brooms or vacuum cleaners, and will hiss, run, and hide until the terror is over. :-)

Story
Domino is a great cat; the perfect mix of attention seeking/purring, playful and aloof. We are trying to train him on a harness/leash, and he's comfortable in the car in his kennel, great at the vet. He does very well being left alone day/night; he knows how to entertain himself, but also loves being played with. He loves food and treats and wants to please. Domino deserves a home where he can roam and play, so we are trying to find him a good home. I think he would do well with adults and kids, and possibly a dog. He is very personable when meeting new humans and super sweet. I can't emphasize enough that he is a good cat, and I'm sad to have to adopt him out, but he deserves somewhere he can be more a part of a family. He came to us one day as a stray and literally walked into our home screaming to be fed. He was definitely a housecat before that. Unfortunately, he and my male cat do not get along, so I'm not sure how he would do with other cats. Otherwise, he's good for a new home.

Story
She’s a sweetheart, I found her 4 years ago in my old neighborhood and started putting food out and gave her a bed on my front porch. She would wander during the day and come back every night. I got her rabies shots early on but haven’t redone them. I moved and took her with me, eventually bringing her inside the house and she’s definitely a house cat now! Got her shots the first year or so and haven’t in a couple years now but she’s healthy and happy!

Story
He need some proper care and he needs his kitty litter cleaned every other day or he will pee under the kitty litter, he doesn’t get along with male cats he gets along with dogs very well, absolutely no female cats he will try to attack and hump the female, he doesn’t like to be picked up very often, he hides away from new people, make sure you get him Nutered. But he’s very loving and he’s a sweet cat and loves attention and loves to sleep with his Humans, his age he’s 8 years old not sure what his birthday is though but overall he’s a cute cat and is very affectionate and happy cat, he can be grumpy at times though (Fair warning you he does meow in the morning for food around 6-7am and his feeding times at night is 7pm on the dot ) feed him every 2 days food in the morning and food at night. (Hope you like him 🧡).
