Story
We need to give our lovely Koko away. We adopted her together with her sister, Sashimi, from a shelter in 2022 when they were 3 months old. We were looking to add these kitties to our home, which already included an older cat we've had for years. Unfortunately, Koko simply has not been able to co-exist with our older cat. They do not get along and have caused behavioral issues. Koko is a loving, communicative and warm cat who loves humans. We believe she would thrive in a single-pet home, ideally with someone who has had cats and understands them well.

Story
Handsome was just 2 months old when he ran into the house I was staying at, he was being chased by coyotes and I happened to open door same time he was running by he turned and ran in. He was very feral. I bought him a tent put it in my room so he could decompress it literally to him 3 months to come out and let me pet him. Hes a one person cat very big and he is a scaredy cat indoor only no kids. He would do well with experienced cat person he needs lots of love and patience Im not in a big hurry to adopt he really needs a place he can run around as hes been living in my bedroom for 3 years he deserves better where he can have run of whole place. I prefer you own your home and he doesn’t have to move anymore hes a very clean cat as well hes not destructive I trained him with squirt bottle just have to shake it. He will go under a bed and tear up a box spring so he can hide. Other than that hes never done anything bad hes a great guy..

Story
Oliver is an extremely sweet, gentle 3 legged kitty. He was unfortunately hit by a car and suffered an injured front leg and a broken jaw. We got him the surgery and care that he needed and now he gets around just fine, jumping and playing like any other kitty. He has been neutered and has had all his vaccines, tested negative for disease and is in perfect health. The vet estimates him to be about 2 years old at the most. He happily eats canned pate style food and lives for affection. He is a beautiful cream colored boy with tan ears and a striped tail! He's got big dark eyes and has the loveliest personality. He uses his litterbox and is a good boy. He also has the cutest meow. He has lived with other cats as well as calm dogs and is friendly to everyone. He has been through a lot and deserves a loving, permanent home. (He doesn't really have any "special needs" but I'm checking that box so that people are aware he has 3 legs now so is a bit different.) A home check will need to happen for any serious inquiries. Thank you for choosing adoption!
