BONDED WITH JINGLES. This is Mika! She is a very sweet, but vocal cat. She lives with her sister, Jingles, and they will need to be placed in a home together. Both of them are indoor cats. Jingles was diagnosed with feline herpes when we first adopted her, so we are under the assumption that Mika has it as well. This isn’t a life-threatening condition, and I recommend researching it to understand the condition. Both of the cats I am listing are very sweet, and I love them so much, but unfortunately, two people in our home are allergic to cats.

Story
***I need them gone ASAP. Been trying on here for like two months and I’m going to have to bring them to the shelter where they could be separated. I do not want them to be separated but i need them gone ASAP.***I have two cats, brothers, I need to rehome. They are wonderful pets, but I’m pregnant and I don’t want pets when my baby gets here. We’ve had them since March of 2025 and they’ve been great but I just can’t handle the extra responsibility on top of having a baby. I have a litter box with a swing door, a litter catching pad for underneath, whatever food is left for both of them (dry in the morning and wet food at night), I have some toys too. I’d like them gone sooner than later because I’m paranoid having them around with baby stuff. Also important to note, Lil Wayne (first pic) is timid and stays away from people unless Bev is there, and Bev is a big cuddler. It’s nice that they have each other anyways though.

Story
You haven't been loved until Stella has curled up against you, her head resting against you like she's been waiting all day just for that moment. Stella is spayed and microchipped. She's playful, deeply affectionate, and wants nothing more than to be near her people, cuddling on the couch or following you room to room. She's an easy, low-drama presence in a home. She's a little picky with wet food but loves Temptations Puree. Stella survived neurological FIP as a kitten, a serious illness that many cats don't come back from, and she no longer needs medication for FIP. That fight left her with permanent incontinence and she's a little clumsy so she sticks to safe spaces. She needs a home set up for easy cleanup and she works well with a designated overnight space and pee pads. Her people describe her as resilient and sweet-natured, never letting her medical history slow down her love of being close to you.

Story
I rescued Finley as a very young kitten. He has been socialized with my other cats and quickly adapted to cat box and eating dry and wet foods. Very playful and lovable, enjoys being handled and carried around. He was recently neutered and has had rabies shots. No fleas or health issues. Will make a very good family pet.

Story
Nyx is an extremely brave and social cat that loves life. She loves being the center of attention. She loves water, activity, nature and other animals (including big dogs). Her favorite things are playing with spring toys on laminate flooring and watching the world outside. Her favorite food is plain boiled pinto beans. Nyx has an Irregular heartbeat (found on the day of her spaying surgery June 2026). She needs an echocardiogram before being spayed. I am on SSI and have no way to finance an echocardiogram. I was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta. I live alone and use a power wheelchair (I've used one my entire life). I cannot physically take care of an unspayed cat. She has gone into heat multiple times since her scheduled surgery date and her behavior has changed to the point where I can no longer manage. I think she would benefit from a larger home with a securely fenced back yard. She would love watering a garden. She loves following along with activities.

Story
Discovered this little boy at my work. Brought him home, cleaned him up, my existing cats didn't care for the interruption. Sent him to a shelter where he got shots, a microchip and fixed. Brought him back from the shelter because I wasn't feeling good about them. Existing cats tolerating him, but they are so much older and not ready for kitten energy. I named him Cosmo, but don't use it - you can pick your own name!
