Story
Wednesday is an affectionate cat that loves sleeping under the covers and sitting with her person in the evening. She would do best with an owner who can be home and keep her company during the day. She has some support needs: she has food allergies that cause her to pick at her skin, and while she is house-trained, she will pee on fabric left on the floor if stressed. She's also vocal, and will complain if she isn't able to be in the same room as all the people if you're congregated, i.e. while eating, having guests over, etc. While she has been an indoor/outdoor cat in the past, for the last several years she has been only indoors, and therefore has not had her most recent feline leukemia shot.

Story
Pico is a very sweet boy. He is very calm and relaxed and would rather be outside to be honest. The sad part is we found him and planned on giving him the home he needs, but we have many many plants. I know this is a crappy excuse, but he will not stop eating the plants. I know you are thinking get rid of the plants, but it is part of our business and we just simply cannot get rid of over 250 plants. The plants are making him sick and we just know he would do better in a different home. He is fine with our two dogs and our other cat so that is not an issue. He does tend to hide when new people come over but he follows you if you pet him

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!

Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Zonker is a loving and intelligent lap cat who would thrive in a single cat home. He craves human affection and loves being the center of attention. Zonker is energetic and loves playing with all variety of toys! He loves getting pets and head scratches, but just gets a bit touchy if you pet his belly. He currently has 2 cat siblings. He has not been able to receive as much of the human attention he definitely craves since we had a baby and he sometimes plays roughly with one of the cats. We believe Zonker would be much happier and in a better situation if he found a home where he could be the sole cat and receive all of the humans loving.
