Story
Sonja is a kitty I rescued, she has been inside with me since she was attacked by a dog in August '22. She is FIV+, which just means she needs to be indoors and well cared for. She is a sweet, smart, feisty girl, with a unique look. She loves being combed, playing with wand toys, horizontal scratchers are LIFE for her. She likes to sing the song of her people sometimes but I think it is because she is lonely, I have 3 resident cats and work long hours so I can’t be with her as much I she needs.

Story
Rescued cats need new home Meet Laverne and Shirley. I have been taking care of these cuties for a couple of years now, ever since they were abandoned by their owners, who used to be my neighbors. The landlord does not allow pets, and I never intended to have pets, so I am looking for a new home for them. They are sisters, about five years old. They are very tame, house-trained and like human contact. They can be good with other cats and kids, once they are acclimated. From what I have observed, they are calm around dogs as long as the dogs are calm around them. They have both been spayed and vaccinated for rabies and FVRCP. It would be nice if they were adopted together, but what is most important is that the find new homes.

Story
In search of a home for my playful and affectionate 4.5 year old tortoiseshell, Penelope. She is very social and friendly with adults. Overall a healthy cat, though a little on the chunky side. She also does have a habit of chewing plastic grocery bags when left in her reach. The reason we are rehoming is because we have a toddler that loves our cat in a not so gentle way. We have tried working with her to be more gentle with the cat, and our many attempts have not helped. Penelope has scratched our daughter many times when she is provoked in this way. We are not asking for any payment, we just want her to have a good home, one without small children where she can relax and be herself.

Story
Seeking Loving Home for My Sweet Senior Cats, Leo (male) and Bella (female) Leo is incredibly sweet and affectionate, while Bella his petite sister, (about the size of a six-month-old cat) is equally loving and snuggly as well as talkative. Due to a recent move to a smaller house, I am facing severe allergies that prevent me from keeping them. Although this is a difficult decision, I want to ensure they find a caring environment where they can thrive. * To help ensure a smooth transition, I will provide food and litter for an entire year for both cats and a cat tree. Additionally, I will reimburse the new owner for updating their shots if needed. It is also essential that Leo and Bella be adopted together, as their bond is strong as they are from the same litter and have never been apart.
