Not good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Kyo is a sweet and outgoing 7 year old cat. He loves cuddles and being the center of attention. Champa is a loving but reserved 7 year old cat. He is loyal to the bone and just wants his pets. Champa does not enjoy being carried and will set his boundaries by bopping your hand. Both cats are neutered and have their vaccinations. They have never been socialized with dogs. Unfortunately I am not able to keep them due to restrictions in my apartment and my 1 year old having mild allergies. They have been my babies since they were born and it absolutely tears me to have to rehome them. I would prefer they stay together as they have never been apart but if I can find a loving home for each that’s okay too. I am willing to provide 2 cat litters and a big Costco bag of cat food.

Story
Meet Freddy ❤️ After spending many, many years living outside, likely over four, Freddy’s life changed forever last August. He and his best friend, Baby Cat, were absolutely inseparable. They did everything together. But tragically, Baby Cat was taken by coyotes, and Freddy was left completely alone. His longtime caregivers knew they couldn’t risk losing Freddy too. He was too sweet, too social, and too trusting to survive much longer outside. So they reached out for help, and we brought him indoors to safety. Freddy has now been inside for over a month, and he’s thriving. He went to the vet, got full bloodwork, and even had an ear cleaning. Everything came back normal. He does have some arthritis from his years outdoors, but he’s doing great on simple joint supplements. Freddy is absolutely a senior gentleman, and he has the softest soul. He is so cuddly, purrs like a little engine, and just wants to be cozy, comfy, and next to his person. His ideal life is sleeping on you, beside you, or anywhere warm and safe. ✨ Freddy is ready for a forever home where he can spend his golden years being adored. If you’re looking for a gentle, grateful, affectionate companion, this boy will steal your heart.

Lucille is a proper torti kitten; she doesn't offer her love to just anybody. A friend of Lucille's has truly won a prize, a friend for life. She's discerning and smart, taking in the world around her like a scientist. Patience is rewarded with little quacks and tummy time!

My owner passed away and his dear friend took me in. However, I wasn't my happiest in that home with the other kitties. Now, I'm looking for a forever home as a solo kitty! I looooove humans, pets, and headbutts. I'm a super sweet girl.
