Story
One dark & stormy night this little cuddle bug showed up at our door demanding to be let in! She is affectionate, a quick learner (she avoids table tops and stays off counters) playful, a tiny bit spicy but doesnt bite hard, just slaps/nibbles if her boundaries arent respected. I have trimmed her toenails with no drama!! After over a week of found cat posters, posting her profile online, haunting cafes with her picture, stopping in at the local shelter to have her scanned for micro-chip (she is chipped and spayed but chip is not registered) we fear she was abandoned. We call her Kēki (Japanese for cake) because she is so sweet!! She does kitty pancake flops & waves her paws when she wants loves. She is potty box trained, & has obviously been around people her whole life which we think is about a year. Sadly we cannot keep her as my spouse & I both travel frequently to help our aging parents. Shes met kids & is fine but prefers calm energy. Shes great & deserves a furever home!

Story
Patches is 1 and a half years old. She is an amazing, gentle, cuddly, soft sweet girl. She is the best cat I have ever met, she never scratches, has no issues with litterbox and is overall super sweet. Unfortunately I am not able to keep her as I live in a one bedroom with my partner and our one week old baby and she is not getting the space or love she needs. I want her to go to someone with more time and space to take care of the most wonderful kitty.

Story
Tony was found in an alley with his litter during COVID. We adopted him and one of his sisters. They have not gotten along. He fights with her and frequently tries to mount her. We recently learned that keeping a brother and sister together is unnatural as that is not how wild cats behave. We are making the hard decision to rehome Tony and keep his sister. He's a real sweetie! We are very sad that we can't keep him and hope that he is happier in his new home.
