Story
Lily MRQ#: S11-22 DOB: 9/15/22 SEX: Female BREED: american shorthair COLOR: Tuxedo Lily her mom and sister (Luna,I think they are paternal twins) were left outside under a shed without food or water the coyotes were trying to get to them, because their owner did not want them. When I saw the mom run up to a coyote that was about 8' from her with her hair raised to protect her babies, I grabbed her and felt in my heart to help. These cats seem to be very healthy they have not had any health issues. Very affectionate when you lie down to sleep. Very inquisitive wants to be watch me when I am doing chores. Plays in the sheets while I change the bed. Her favorite play is chasing the feather toy on a long string so she may jump and do back flips. She can jump about 3' high or higher! She is pretty independent not needy she loves her cat tower to watch the birds. She is an inside cat. She will roll over on her back when she feels safe and let you pet her belly if I could, I would keep her and her sister they are very fun to watch them play together and groom each other. Personality Traits: Is litter box trained Has been around other cats Has been around LARGE dogs Is a very ACTIVE kitty Is a mellow, laid back kitty Does NOT liked to be held Does NOT liked to be picked up Luna Other Personality Traits: She is very cautious and will need patience and kindness to trust. Once she trusts you, you will have a buddy for life she is very loyal but will be scared at first as she has always been with her sister. She will need time to get to know and trust new people but if you play with her and let her figure things out on her own she will do better as she is very independent.

Story
My Coco, an indoor cat, has been with me for 4 years since she was tiny. She loves staying with humans, sometimes talks with me, or maybe complains about me if I do not cuddle with her. Yes, she is a cuddle cat. When you are at home, she will not leave you alone. Sometimes she is naughty, she will bite you if she is not happy, not a real bite, but a very gentle bite. She never scratches you with her claws because she left her mom when she was too little, and she doesn't know how. She is super clever, my friends said she acts like a puppy. She is not current on vaccines because she is indoors. I can not keep her for two main reasons. I have been suffering from hair allergies badly for years, and I will live in the USA for 3 months, then live abroad for 3 months, like this pattern for the next 2 years, starting from July 25. She is a cuddle cat, she cannot leave humans for that long.

Story
Bentley is a sweet and clingy cat who is very shy and timid at first but will be extremely loving and loyal once he warms up to you. He is a bit jumpy at times but is very vocal and sweet when he gets to know you. He is low maintenance, cleans himself, and eats twice a day(dry only). I am moving away to college and my parents are unable to relocate with him so I would need him to be cared for; for about two years until I move into an apartment of my own.

Story
Peter and James are double the cuteness and double the fun. These bonded siblings are about 10 months old. They were rescued out of a garage at about six weeks old and have been in a foster home ever since. These sweet boys are now looking for their forever home. They are playful, affectionate, and love snuggling and playing with each other. They love climbing and chilling in their cat tree, especially if they can watch out a window! We are only looking to home both boys together, and we are happy to gift some of their cat supplies to their new owner. They are neutered and up to date on their vaccinations. If you are interested in these playful boys or have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Story
I found Bertrum on the streets a few weeks ago he’s 1-2 years old and the sweetest boy ever! He’s vaccinated but is FIV+. Looking to see if I can rehome / get some foster resources because I live with a roommate who already has a cat without fiv. This cat is really sweet and non violent but I cannot keep him. He would make a perfect companion to someone who just wants one cat or someone looking to adopt another FIV+ cat. Please lmk! 🐈‍⬛💕
