Story
Jr. is one of five born on July 5th in our yard. His mother is a community cat that we look after. We took the litter in and have been looking after Mom and the babies ever since. Unfortunately, we have too many animals, and we can't keep him permanently. Jr is the biggest personality of his litter. He loves to sit in weird positions and is often seen sleeping fully on his back or draped over pillows. Like his twin, Hunter, Jr is very vocal when he is playing. He will cry or complain when wrestling, but the second they let up, he'll attack, proving it was all an act. When he isn't playing, he is snuggling. Jr LOVES a good head scratch or belly rub. He never hesitates to claim a lap, even if it's already occupied. He is very bonded with his brother Hunter, but would be ok being adopted alone. Medical note: A case of tapeworms hit the litter, two of them caught it pretty bad and were actively treated, but he was not affected.

Story
Hunter was one of five born on July 5th in our yard. His mother is a community cat that we look after (although I'm pretty sure she adopted herself). We took the litter in and have been looking after Mom and the babies ever since. Unfortunately, we have too many animals, and can't keep him permanently. He is a sweet, playful boy. We started calling him Hunter after we noticed how enthusiastically he plays with the toy mice we got for them. He is extremely affectionate. He recently discovered his powerful purr and the joys of rubbing his cheeks on things. He is very comfortable around our 60lb dog and has been seen playing with our older cats. Hunter is very sweet and will make a great addition to any home. He is intact, unvaccinated (he just came of age and we haven't been able to take him in), and litter trained. Medical note: A case of tapeworms hit the litter. Two of them caught it pretty badly and were actively treated, but he was not affected, and treatment was unneeded.

Story
She is about three years old. Super cuddly and sweet as well as playful and spunky. One of her favorite games to play is fetch (with a ball! like a dog). She is great with children and sociable in general towards humans and other cats! She loves to be snuggled and hang out a lot. She is good with other cats and fairly playful. We have always really loved her and cherished her but sadly after having to move she does not have adequate space and we feel we need to rehome her. She really flourished when our living situation was different. ***She cannot live with dogs: she is very terrified of them.

Found her on the street. Have had her for several years now but my schedule and allergies make this a difficult relationship to maintain. She has been to the vet more than the average cat. If the past is an indicator of the future, you should have pet insurance for this one.

Story
My name is Stella and I’m 3 years old. I’ve only lived with my mom and dog sister and brother. I sometimes try to groom my dog siblings and they get mad at me. If they were a kitten I’m sure they wouldn’t mind. Mom works full time and I get bored. She buys me toys but I get bored with them soon. I hope mom can find me a home with maybe no cats or a kitten that I can mother. Stella’s mom: I love Stella but I need to rehome her because we just moved here and they only allow two pets. Plus…Stella is a great cat and so beautiful but she’s not having much fun. I’m hoping someone will be able to take her and love her and be able to interact with her more than I can. If you’re looking for a healthy good cat please consider Stella. She’s only ever been around a kitten, never a grown cat so I’m unsure how she would do. She lives with small dogs and does fine but I don’t know how she would do with big dogs. Ok with my grandkids.
