Story
My pet is a rescue cat, her name is Monkae (Monk-Aye) Monkae has a very bubbly and eccentric personality. Very affectionate and needy as well. She constantly follows me around the house and at any interval that you take a seat, rest, or crouch down. She will immediately demand pets or for you to play. When you come home from work she will come up to you and welcome you home with love and demands for pets! Aside from all of that, Monkae does well with other cats. But hasn't had much interaction with dogs. So I'm unaware how she may handle them. She is skittish at first when meeting new people. But once she bonds with you she'll be your best friend/needy pet for a lifetime!

Story
Pollita (Poy-yeet-aa) was born April 2023 but was taken in by my husband and I in June 2023. She is super cuddly and loves smelling anything you’re eating although she won’t try to eat it unless it’s a fruit. She LOVES to play fetch with legos because of the tapping noise on hardwood floor. She literally waits to drop the piece in your hand and watches you until you throw it. I hate to see her go but I am newly pregnant and my husband is gone on deployment so there is no one to clean the litter and I have no other help. (Pregnant women are not advised to clean litter box) It would also be too much for us with the baby coming. She is a super sweet girl who will cuddle and lay with you when you’re laying or sitting and she will keep you company while you’re moving around your home as well.

Kiana is a senior cat but surprisingly healthy. We took her in about a year ago as she was abandoned in a garage and honestly she was in bad shape. With some love and attention though she is doing well. She can only eat wet food or squeeze packets but does not require medications. Heating pad with bed, toys, and a little tower included with rehoming. She loves playing in her tube and chasing toys. We are moving out of country soon and are unable to take her with us.

Story
Tela is a fully indoor cat. She is calm, independent and shy a little bit but well behaved. So, it won't take too much time to warm her up. She loves her wet food and treats. She will definitely sit and sleep always near you once she gets used to be with you. It is very hard to make this decision, but she really deserves a better home... I have a very young infant of twins. I don't want to make up the reason why I'm looking for her new home. To be honest, being twin mom is not easy at all... Taking care of two babies alone all day and animal including households are very difficult unfortunately. I really hope that she will find her forever home with a right person. If you are interested, you are most welcome to our house for a meet and greet. If you decide to take her with you, every items for her are also included with no charge. Thank you.

Story
Ziggy is 6 years old, and I acquired him from a friend. My family has too many cats-5 cats, and I want Ziggy to be cared for in the best way possible. Additionally, I have seen that one of my other male cats bullies Ziggy, and I think it is best to rehome him. He is a healthy gentle happy cat, is up to date on shots, is extremely gentle with people and other cats, and uses the litter box well all the time. He is gentle with young children who pet him and is okay (just a little fearful) around neighbors' dogs even though he has never lived with kids or dogs in the household. He is both an outside and inside cat, but is happy staying inside all the time too. He is neutered and has a microchip. He also loves to snuggle with you and he makes a wonderful lap cat. He tends to knead a lot and will headbutt to show his love for you.

Kitty aka Kit-Kat, Pudge, Meowskers is 8 years old, spayed, and declawed on front paws. She is sweet and snuggly, but on her terms. When Kitty sees your lap she hops on, purrs and kneads for as long as you let her. She loves treats and will tell you when she wants one. Her favorite toy is a bottle cap, any bottle cap will entertain her for hours.

Story
Vader is a very loving and energetic cat. He loves laying with you and getting pets! He does have some issues as far as spraying, but I think that getting neutered and being the only cat will mitigate some of it. He gets along with other cats, but has an alpha-type personality that I think makes him better by himself. He's very confident and loves attention, but can be shy with new people. He's only about 4 years old.
