Story
She is an affectionate feline that spends time on the bed in the sun. She loves attention and is easy-going. She has been around other cats and two Labrador dogs. She uses an enclosed kitty litter box, she eats Authority dry food, and also enjoys frisky wet canned food. She is free-fed; I would love to keep her, but I moved in with an HOA with an animal limit.

Story
Rome is 3 years old. She is curious, smart, fearless, playful and loves laps to nap in. She was originally my daughter's cat but she needs access to the outdoors. She was not happy being confined to an apartment. Once we took her in, she was much more relaxed and happy being able to go outside- she uses the dog door - since we took her in back in April 2025. She gets along great with our 2 dogs, even rubbing against them or sleeping with them. The reason we are having to rehome her is she is not getting along with one of our other cats. We do have another cat who she does not bother at all - basically ignores her. She will need access to the outdoors in her new home. She is very picky foodwise and will only eat 1 brand of wet food, and 1 brand of dry.

Story
These adorable little girls were found on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere with no house in sight. They were wet, cold, and very tiny. They have thrived in foster care. They are friendly, outgoing, affectionate and have been loved and well cared for. They are a bonded pair so it is important for them to stay together. Petunia is the discoverer of the pair. She is inquisitive and is first to find new mischief. She loves chasing strings and playing with her toy mouse. Paisley is the cuddly one. She is also very outgoing but she is the first one to leave the food bowl and seek human interaction. She loves to be held and cuddle. Both kittens have been Vet checked and dewormed. They tested negative for FEL-FIV Feline Leukemia & Immunodeficiency Virus Antibody. They were found to be very healthy and have cute round tummies, clear eyes and soft fur. They are truly special 💕

Story
Proven Working Cat Pair — Ready for Your Farm/Ranch! We are looking for a caring farm or ranch home for a friendly, bonded pair of littermate cats (Born April 16, 2023). Having spent their lives on our farm, they are experienced hunters who effectively manage pests like ground squirrels, mice, and small birds, keeping feed safe. They are fully acclimated to the challenging, windy weather of SE Wyoming. Both are social, good with children and other pets, and have been neutered and ear-tipped by the Cheyenne Animal Shelter. Downsizing forces us to find them a new post where their skills can be put to good use!

Story
Micky came into my life November of last year. He was 3 months old, bright, bubbly, and the most affectionate and sweet boy. However, Micky has gradually gotten worse and worse liver and GI problems following an e coli infection June of this year. He was vomiting daily for the months of August, September and October, but following a food change he no longer vomits. He weighs 3-4lbs down from 6lb, needs daily medications, and would need a feeding tube and attentive care, but between an extremely busy job it being unreasonable for me to pursue further treatment, it is infeasible for me to keep him for the foreseeable future as of now. I only just graduated college and moved out to Boulder. This is why I am looking to rehome him. He is an extremely strong, clever, and good boy--he loves going outside, he's extremely handleable and never bites. Loves to find innovative parkour routes. At a year and a half old, I don't think he, or I am quite ready to say goodbye.
