Story
Sweet Josie is 5 years old. We adopted her when she was just a tiny baby. She does have extra toes- making her extra special. She is sweet, spunky, loves to play. She is mostly an indoor cat but does like to occasionally go outside. She is a fantastic mouse and snake hunter.Over the past 2 years she has started to pee outside of her litter box sometimes. We have taken her to the vet and ruled out any medical issues, this seems to be a behavioral issue brought on by stress. I have a busy household with 3 children, that she is very sweet and loving to. Our kids like to have friends over and that will cause Josie to become anxious, even though the kids leave her alone. It seems that our home and lifestyle is causing her stress and anxiety. We just want her to be in a loving and happy home that she feels comfortable in at all times. This is a very hard choice for us but ultimately feel that it is the right thing to do for our sweet Josie.

Story
This sweet kitty survived a devoted owner who took her out for walks. She is understandably quite sad that her person is no longer here. She needs someone who is patient, loving, gentle, and who can offer a quiet home with no other animals or children. She will likely need a while to get used to someone new before she comes out of her shell. Kitty comes with all her cat things, including a backpack carrier, hard carrier, leash and harness, food, litter, toys and scratchers. She is approximately 8 years old.Adoption fee covers transportation costs. Kitty is currently located in the Denver metro area.

Story
Milo is about to turn 7 years old. I adopted him when he was 15 weeks old from a cat rescue in TN. He is so loving and spunky, with silly orange cat energy. My hope is to find him someone that can be at home with him more than just a few hours a day. I work long hours and I go to bed very soon after I get home. He loves to be outside and explore, but also needs his cuddles on the couch. I just want someone to give him the love and attention he deserves.

Story
Timothy is a sweet, loving, and playful 8 year old cat who needs to be rehome to a calmer environment.We have a very stressful environment with multiple babies and frequent military moves. The stress can affect his body and make him ill, but it is very well managed with a less stressful environment. He is good with kids, dogs and cats once he is settled.We need him a new home immediately due to another baby arriving soon.He will come with food and water dishes, food bag, litter, litter robot, cat bed and scratching post. All for free to a great and stable home.

Story
Midnight is a feisty 2 year old feline who is very playful and tends to be too rough sometimes. She has never lived with other pets before, only lived with one kid and does not take kindly to strangers. I got her as a kitten and she has grown to be somewhat temperamental. She can be super loving, but prefers to be left alone. She chases bugs and spiders and is a master hunter. Loves cords, especially phone cords. I’d like to see her go to a good home that can be patient with her and give her the attention and respect she needs and deserves. She should be an only pet, as I do not know what she would be like with other animals. Once she warms up to someone, she’s a good kitty. As of right now, she’s more than I can handle. I can provide all of her essentials, litter box, food and water bowl, toys, etc.
