Not good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
He is very good with Adults. Not sure about kids. When he gets to know you he is very affectionate. He will lick your forehead or give nosey kisses. He doesn’t play much, but keep a soft ball around. Sometimes he will play with those. He knows the command IN. Once he becomes accustomed to your home, and if you take him out, he will come inside when you command IN. He can only go outside with you; he doesn’t know how to be outside on his own. He doesn’t know how to deal with cars. He is about 10 years old and his only special need is that he needs special food. It’s dry food called Hills c/d. Although the food helps him it may not be the healthiest for him so I also give him a half can or more of tuna or chicken every day. The wet food Hills c/d may be better for him but we haven’t been able to afford it all the time. The Special food is about $43.00 for a bag of the dry food. The dry food lasts for about a month if you give him that and tuna every day.

Story
Pumpkin is a 4 year old female tabby born May 31st 2022. I adopted her at 3 months old and she’s such a loving kind cat, but gets extreme anxiety around other pets. She’s shy and takes a while to warm up but will be your very best friend when comfortable. Looking for someone to take her into a home with no other pets that has time to give her the love she deserves! I am rehoming Pumpkin due to her not getting along with other pets and having to move into a smaller space. She is a loving angel who is so deeply kind when warmed up to the right family

Story
I am currently living in my car with my two cats Abee and Brownee and both are siblings. They were both born in 2020. Brownee the sister of Abee came from the first litter . Abee is also very sweet temperament and loves to be petted and rubbed . They both love to play with Lasor lights and toys with catnip. Unfortunately I unable to keep them due to homelessness and hot car is not good place to keep them. They both deserve a loving home with plenty of attention. But due to losing my job and living on my vehicle it has been rough to support them and keep them healthy . So please contact me asap they need homes before this summer starts to get hotter

Story
Kyra and her brother were saved from a harsh life under a deck in sweltering 109-degree heat. While Kyra eagerly approached us, her brother Mavis was too timid and scared to emerge. With the homeowners' consent, we carefully unscrewed the deck to ensure Mavis's safe rescue. Kyra is an adventurous and affectionate cat who thrives on interaction, while Mavis, though shy, blossoms in her presence. We believe that adopting them together would provide the best environment for both, as Mavis gains confidence with Kyra by his side. Don't miss the chance to welcome this charming pair into your home.

Story
Nala is a 3 year old cat. Our neighbor one year had found her and her sister in a dumpster and didn’t have room to take her in. So we gave her a home. She is very playful and filled with energy but unfortunately doesn’t get along with other pets or kids. We call her our sour patch kid because she can be sooooo sweet one minute but gets easily overstimulated and will be sour the next. She loves soft blankets to make biscuits on, this turns on her snuggle mode and this is usually when you can give her unlimited love.
