I acquired her from a shelter. She is two years old. I am looking for a new home as I lost my job and had to move back with my family, and one of the family member is severely allergic to cat hair. She is such a wonderful angel and she never scratched or bite me. She is very very kind to human .

Story
Meet Tulip – A Quiet Beauty Ready to Bloom 🌷 Tulip is a stunning, independent girl who is learning the comforts of indoor life one day at a time. Though people can still be a little scary, she’s beginning to enjoy gentle affection and will even seek out a scratch or two when she’s feeling safe. She has a calm, observant nature and prefers to take her time getting to know new surroundings. Tulip coexists peacefully with dogs and isn’t afraid to set polite boundaries when needed. She would thrive in a patient, low-key home where she can adjust at her own pace and continue to grow in confidence. Tulip is being fostered in Madison, AL and will be spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to adoption. If you're looking for a quiet, low-maintenance companion and have a heart for giving a shy cat the time she needs to trust, Tulip may be your perfect match. 💻 Apply to adopt on our website 📧 Questions?

Story
Hi, I’m Kirby! I’m a 1-year-old American Shorthair looking for a new home because my family is moving and can’t take me. I’m gentle and shy—I never scratch or bite people and run away when scared. Once I trust you, I become a cuddly “twisty noodle” who rolls around when you come home. I’m litter-box trained but need a clean home; if clothes are on the floor, I may pee on them. I tip over my bowls when food or water is low to remind you. I loved my tiny sister Minnie, who had dwarfism and passed in September,and I miss having a playmate. The only other cat I’ve known is an older grumpy one I fight with, so introductions to new cats must be slow and careful. I may do well with a gentle, friendly cat like my sister was. I’m very affectionate once I settle in and love chatting, bird-watching, and being near my humans. I’d love a patient, tidy human who wants a sweet, loyal companion to grow with, someone who understands my sensitive nature and will give me the safe, warm home I deserve

Story
**Urgent Needs Home ASAP** Kali is a black beauty who is 4 years old. She has lived with her owner since she was a baby. Her owner and her had a very loving relationship. However her owner has fallen very ill and is no longer able to take care of her. Kali is protective and loves the people she lives with. She would do best in a quiet relaxing home. She is quiet at first but will warm up. She needs to be the queen of the castle. She would love to sit with you and be pampered.
