Story
This is Boe. He is the most sweetest loving cat and will purr and lay on top of you all night long. Loves to snuggle and is very patient with kids. He doesn’t get along with other cats in the house so needs to be an only cat. He has a cute little broken tail at the tip but it doesn’t hurt him at all. He sometimes looks a little cross eyed which makes him so much cuter. He is so deserving of all the love and pets and treats!

Story
Nala was born March 3rd, daughter of my coworkers cat. She is spunky, playful, and full of love. One of her favorite things to do is go for rides in the car, or walks (on a leash of course). We are looking for a person (or family) willing to provide her more than just kibble (she loves freeze dried fish, wet food, and other healthy meal additives), supervised (on leash) outside time, and plenty of attention and enrichment. Nala really likes to watch fish, and even mimics birds! She gets a little nervous around new people but opens right up as soon as she gets comfortable.

Story
Bob is a sweet cuddly kitty who loves to be pet and held. He is great with babies and has always been gentle with my son. I adopted Bob from a shelter in 2012 when he was just a few months old. He has been my bff for many years. Now I have a family and moving out of the area. Unfortunately the place we’re moving to won’t allow us to bring Bob so we are looking for him a new home. Bob is an elderly cat, but you would never know it. He loves to play and he loves to cuddle. He loves to run around and he loves his scratching post. His favorite pastime is eating treats and laying in his bed. I am looking for a new home for Bob. The ideal person would be willing to give Bob lots of cuddles, attention and treats. He is an indoor only cat and has no major health issues. I can include his self-cleaning litter box (new), bed, old scratching post, grooming hair trimmer clippers and vacuum, nail clippers, toys, and food bowl.
