Story
Cheeto is a sweet and affectionate 4-year-old cat who absolutely loves being around people. He has a gentle nature, especially with children, and is incredibly patient and well-behaved around our toddler. We also have an older cat and recently welcomed a newborn into our family. With two young kids, full-time jobs, and constant travel plans, we’ve found it increasingly difficult to give both cats the attention and care they truly deserve. As much as it breaks our hearts, we’re hoping to find a warm, loving home for Cheeto where he’ll be cherished and well cared for. He’s a wonderful companion and would thrive in a home where he can be part of the family and receive lots of love. If you think you could be that home, we’d love to hear from you! P.S. Cheeto is also quite the little hunter. He’s always on the lookout and won’t let a single fly get past him!

Story
We adopted pumpkin spice after fostering him from the humane society with his sister Penelope. He's been with us for 10 years. He is a friendly cat who likes pets but mostly does his own thing. He did have a urinary tract problem which means we give him special prescribed food called Hill's urinary care (we get this from Chewy.com) and distilled water. He is very soft 🐈

Story
Adopted a pregnant mother in April. Blackie is a kitten in a litter of 5. If possible, I would like to keep him with his brother (Light Head), also listed for adoption, as they are a bonded pair and do everything together. They are super playful, energetic, and curious! Very well accustomed to both humans and other kitties. All caught up on their current shots as well.
