Story
Brioche is a young mother who was an outdoor stray cat left and locked in a house with other cats. When the cats were discovered they were kicked out of the house and she was found still in the house on Easter 2024 with her 3 newborn kittens At first she was very territorial and hesitant around people, but she has since become more friendly around people after being taken care of. She is a bit shy and will run off to hide but once she gets to know them she is very friendly and enjoys pets and chatting about her day. She loves belly rubs and getting pets and scritches on her head. She is the mother to 3 kittens: Gouda, Colby Jack, and Brie.

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 would probably prefer home that does not have small children in it because loud noises make him scared. 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.

Story
Salem is a good cat. He's about 31/2 years old. He's an indoor cat, very quiet and keeps to himself. Salem loves looking out an open window at the birds. Salem is playful at times. He sleeps through the night, for the most part, no worry about night zoomies. Not much of a lap cat. He will lay on the bed/couch, but not too close to you. Bathing hasn't really been an issue, as long as you get in and get out. He will sit, 5 - 10 minutes max. He hates towel or anything covering him. I guess some kind of tramatic thing before we got him from the shelter. I dry him as quickly as much as I can after bathing, then let him air dry on his own. I try bathing when the weather is warmest. Salem doesn't like to be held, older kids ages 12+ would be ideal for him, as younger children are tempted to pick up a cat, and he will scratch and/or bite when he don't want to be bother.
