Story
Beauty is very playful. She likes to carry around a plus strawberry toy. She loves to lay on her back and roll. She loves her consistent feeding times. She loves high perches, and looking out the window. She enjoys jumping in and out of boxes and hiding under packing paper, she'll at times hunt you lol Her coat is very short, black, shiny and rarely sheds. She makes cat bird call sounds at times when she's looking out the window. She prefers a home that doesn't have small children to chase her around, possibly one active cat or she would be okay alone with attentive parents.

Story
rocket & gemini are strays that my neighbors have found (two separate occasions) and they could not keep him so i took them in. i got them both neutered , microchipped and up to date on shots. Rocket is very shy and takes a while to warm up to ppl. but once he does he is very sweet and likes to cuddle up next to his person. that being said he is also very destructive with his claws and likes to chew on crocs. he doesn’t mind my dogs at at. Gemini we got when he was a kitten and we thought he was a girl (that’s why he has a girly name) but we kept it. he is very playful but can be mean to children and he’s not shy to use his claws he’s also a food hog so he’s a little bit on the chunkier side. gemini does not like dogs. these two are close they like to cuddle and play fight with each other.

Story
Chai is a beautiful black shorthair cat who is very affectionate and loves to play once she feels comfortable. She loves to be pet and does well being picked up and handled; she lets you trim her nails and groom her without fuss. She is potty trained and does not go outside the box, she loves treats and to play with stuffed mice and does very well playing independently! She also is very easy going and will warm up to strangers pretty quickly. She would do best in a home who will show her lots love and affection and is easily able to fit into any lifestyle. She’s spayed and well taken care of, I got her from a lady who fosters a year and a half ago and she has all her shots and no health issues. I will include a litter box, her food, and her stuffed mice. The reason we sadly are having to rehome her is because our baby has horrible eczema and we found out she is allergic to cat dander…

Story
This handsome 4-year-old orange and white boy is a tall, athletic cat with long whiskers, a cute little meow, and a playful personality. He loves his toys and will sometimes even play catch with you. Fast and agile, he can jump VERY high and enjoys making cozy little forts for himself. Homes with cat walls or vertical space would be a dream for him!He enjoys sitting in the window watching birds and chirping at them. While he loves food (you’ll want to keep food put away!), he is not needy and does great with an automatic feeder. He has no issues with eating, drinking, or using the litter box.He grew up in a dog household and does well with dogs but needs to be the only cat, as he is not comfortable with other cats. We are unsure how he does with children.He does well at the vet, handling vaccinations and nail trims without issue. He loves a good photoshoot and does especially well with holiday pictures — a very photogenic boy!

Story
Nami is 2 years old and we got her from Petco. She's a really chill cat, not too cuddly, and is the big back of the century. We made the mistake of getting too many animals and Nami's confidence and sense of independence makes her one of our better suited animals for rehoming.
