Story
Rambo was dropped off at the clinic where I work. He is a super sweet boy, loves to snuggle and seems tolerant of everything (medications, dogs, other cats). He is diabetic so does need additional care. He is on a special diet and gets insulin injections twice daily. No adoption fee as we just want him to have a good home. However adopters will need to go through a diabetes care session with me to demonstrate that they can properly care for him.

Story
Loki has been with me for a long time, I've had him since 2012. He does ok with dogs, buts it’s been a few years since he’s been around them and he does ok with cats. I have another cat that he lives with, but he does play rough and likes to chase her. He likes cuddling, he likes being with people and he used to do really well at the vet. My ex used to be very mean to him, so he flinches a bit and tends to run if you raise your voice. I kept him after the divorce, but I can’t keep up with the vet bills. He needs his shots and needs imaging for his stomach, since he vomits too often. I was happy to save him from my ex but I feel like I’m not giving him a good home because of his medical needs. The adoption fee is waive-able of course, I just don’t want him to end up in a bad home. He meows a lot, too, I know some people prefer quiet cats. He’s a little dog-like. He doesn’t like little kids much since he’s older now, but he used to love them.

Story
Otto was adopted from the Denver Animal Shelter a little over a year ago. He was listed as 1-2 years old, but he grew quite a bit after adoption and I believe he was younger than 1 year. He is a very social boy, almost always in the same room as everyone. He loves to snuggle up on your lap but while there he does not like to be pet. He loves to play and needs a lot of it. The reason we need to rehome him is because he has play aggression issues that include biting. We have been trying to work on these issues but have not had success. I think he could benefit from a cat friend but I am not in a place to introduce a new cat into the home. We have an infant and he was ok the first 2 months but recently has taken a major interest to her and we do not feel safe with him around her with his current behavior issues. I love this cat so very much but just cannot seem to give him the home he needs. He gets very frightened by the sound of the baby crying and loud sudden noises in general.
