Story
Tuxie is a Tuxedo cat born in early 2020. She's pretty independent and a bit shy, but she LOVES stick-and-feather toys and can get along well with other cats, provided she's given ample time to get to know them. She also loves sleeping on beds, and likes watching people work (she loves hanging out with my dad and watching him work on his computer!) For some context, she is one of many cats I and my family are currently trying to rehome. My late mother had an unfortunate habit of taking on any cat she could in her last few years. We are downsizing and cannot afford to care for all of them anymore, however dearly we care for them. Please contact for more details.

Story
Jeeves (or Jeevesy) is a little tuxedo guy, born in the Spring of 2023 alongside his sister Sniffy. He's very shy, and thus, very camera shy! Hence the few good photos we have of him. Despite his shyness, he's very curious, and is always the first to jump on a toy once he sees one (his favorites are feathers on strings/sticks). He might take a little time to get used to being in a new place, but give him time to acclimate and he would be an amazing little playmate! May need additional support for potty training. For some context, he is one of many cats I and my family are currently trying to rehome. My late mother had an unfortunate habit of taking on any cat she could in her last few years. We are downsizing and cannot afford to care for all of them anymore, however dearly we care for them. We don't want to profit off of them, we just want to find them loving forever homes, hence the low adoption fee. Please contact for any further details.

Story
Grumpy is a 5 year old cow cat, born in early 2020. True to her name, she's a bit spicy, and tends to keep to herself. She may need additional attention to care because of her temperament, and I recommend her for an owner experienced with cats like her. Despite being more independent, she LOVES her sister, Marie, and I think she would adapt best if they were adopted together. For some context, she is one of many cats I and my family are currently trying to rehome. My late mother had an unfortunate habit of taking on any cat she could in her last few years. We are downsizing and cannot afford to care for all of them anymore, however dearly we care for them. We do not want to profit on them, only find them loving homes, hence the low fee.

Story
Marie is a cow cat born in 2019. She's very sweet, if a bit shy. She LOVES pets and loves hanging out with other cats, particularly her brother Stripey and her sister Grumpy. She's very much the nurturing type. She loves naps, especially in cuddle piles with other cats she's comfortable with, and loves cat trees! For some context, she is one of many cats I and my family are currently trying to rehome. My late mother had an unfortunate habit of taking on any cat she could in her last few years.

He loves hanging out with his sister, window-watching, playing, and napping! For some context, he is one of many cats I and my family are currently trying to rehome.

Story
Apple is a sweet but skittish cat, we got her when she was 2 years old. We’ve been fostering her for a year. She is now 3 years give or take. She is a sweet cat that craves attention both from humans and from other cats, she is just often afraid and needs time to warm up. She needs somebody with patience and love who can give her the support she needs.

This little girl's picture totally does not show her beautiful, exotic self!  She panther slilm and has a long, long tail.  She is a bundle of play and energy.  Only thing is, you must have another kitty for her to romp and get crazy with or TAG - you're it and you must be a seriously veteran cat person to get pummeled and enjoy it!September 19, 2024, 12:18 am
