Story
Bagheera is an 8-year-old male "lap cat" that I adopted as a kitten. I am getting married and moving. My new family has allergy issues. Bagheera is healthy and at his ideal weight. He has been vaccinated at regular intervals since he was a kitten. He recently had a teeth cleaning. He is an indoor cat, but is allowed to explore a patio from time to time. Bagheera lived with a female cat for many years before she passed. He is chill and well behaved. He is a perfect companion cat. He likes to be around humans. He'll lay on your chest while you pet his head and give him chin rubs. Bagheera plays chase with small balls and especially likes crumpled sticky notes. He'll retrieve them when thrown. Bagheera has a lot of love to give. I hope he can find a home that will return his love.

Story
This is Sean. He is a playful, energetic, and cuddly cat. I adopted him back in October before I was aware that I was about to experience some major issues with housing and roommates which has caused Sean stress. He needs stability and space that I cannot offer him and a patient, experienced cat owner. He needs someone that is able to keep up with him, and someone who can hold a consistent routine. He might be okay with another cat but it may take some time and effort. It is unlikely that he will be okay with dogs or small children. He loves nothing more than some toy mice and cuddles in the morning. I know that if given the opportunity, he would be someone’s perfect cat.

Story
Meet Meow Meow, our affectionate, vocal boy who's looking for a new forever home. He’s about 2 years old, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. He’s very loving once he feels safe. He’ll greet you at the door after work and loves chatting with his people. Meow Meow is shy at first and needs a calm environment to settle in. It took him about a month to feel at home when we moved, but once he’s comfortable, he becomes a sweet companion who just wants to be near you. We’re heartbroken to rehome him, but with two small toddlers and allergies in the household, it’s no longer a good environment for him. He’s been stressed, which has led to some inappropriate urination and scratching, and we believe he would thrive in a quieter home without young children or other pets. We’re looking for a patient, cat-experienced person or family who can give him the calm, stable space he needs to feel safe and loved. If you’re interested or have questions, please reach out.

Story
5/15/25 update from foster: "Phoebe is extremely people oriented, curious and confident, and quite a dominant cat. She's interested in some cats in her foster home which she chases and freaks out at times." Meet Phoebe! Phoebe is an 11 pound spayed female Tortie. She is a true gem… very sweet, loving, and will sleep in your lap all day. She is a fan of everyone, is not shy, and not the typical tortie as she is not aggressive whatsoever! She gets along well with other cats, dogs, and kids. She has cloudy eyes and slightly raised 3rd eye lids due to eye infections as a very young kitten. Luckily the vet doesn't think it affects her vision at all, she is just extra special. Phoebe has a brother Momo and they can be adopted together or separate. Phoebe is currently being fostered in Colorado while awaiting her furever home. ##2308091##
