Story

Swizzle is a sweet and cuddly cat. He loves cuddles and playing with toys. He might take some time to get adjusted but once he does he tends to choose one person and stick with them loyally. Swizzle is playful and vocal, often times able to play by himself by throwing his toys high in the air, but loves to play with his owner as well. He is 4 years old, and we saved him from going to the pound from a mutual friend. In the time since however, we have moved apartments and he is no longer allowed at our new apartment. We are sad to see him go, but we have to rehome him as soon as possible so as not to be in violation of our lease. Hopefully there is someone else who can keep him in a loving home so he doesn't have to go back to a shelter.

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Sheamus is the sole survivor of a small litter of three kittens and is 9 years old. He grew up around another cat for the first few years of his life and got a long mostly with the other cat. There is another cat in the house for the past 2 years, but neither get a long, mostly due to the other cat not agreeing with others due. He has also been around dogs and been relatively good with them, but between both cats and dogs, does not hesitate to scratch if he is irritated. He loves to get attention, pets and making biscuits on people when content. He is a cautious cat and takes a while to warm up to others and new spaces, often jumping at random noises and things. He is relatively vocal when he needs or wants things. He has anxiety with food, needing to make sure he has some at all times, but also be limited as he'll just eat and eat, gaining weight. He has a bad tendency to scratch furniture. His new home will need a safe space he can be comfy in and lots of attention.

Not good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi, this is Millie. Millie is a diluted calico cat who is approximately 3 years old. She needs an experienced person to handle her. She can be spicy, but also a love bug. I have to rehome her, as for some reason she gets aggressive with my sister and got aggressive with me one time. She can be incredibly sweet, but she needs to go to a good home with someone who can meet her needs, love her, and appreciate her. I'm not sure how well she gets along with other cats or dogs, as I don't have any other animals. She has her rabies shots and FRVCP vaccine; she is also spayed. Her shots are recent, as we got them in August 2025. She will lie and cuddle with you and loves to play a lot. She still has that kitten energy!

Story

😢 Why are we rehoming? This was truly our last resort, we love him so much, but my husbands severe allergies and asthma have made it impossible for us to keep him. 💛About Him: His name is Chicken, hes 2 years old, playful, and incredibly well-behaved. Obedient, smart, and affectionate. Neutered, chipped, vaxxed. Hes friendly with people right away and great with other cats. Hes energetic and loves to play, but also loves to curl up in your lap or nap right beside you. 🏡 Ideal Home: Were looking for someone with experience who genuinely loves cats and will give him plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. A home with another friendly cat (even a kitten) is a big plus - he thrives with companionship. Most importantly, we want him in a safe, stable home where he will be cared for, not ignored or mistreated. The $100 fee helps us ensure this. Hes the sweetest, most gentle boy and we are heartbroken to be losing him. Please message us if you think you are a good fit. 🩵
