Story
Bebop (grey) and rocksteady (brown) are bonded, 7-year-old, domestic shorthair brothers. They are sweet and little timid at first, but become big snugglers very quickly. Both Bebop and Rocksteady have funny quirks that make them even more lovable. Bebop sneezes loudly & Rocksteady has a tilt in his neck that he has had since he was a kitten. It kind of just looks like he’s always saying, “huh?” They stick together and are territorial around other cats so it is important that they are the only pets in the home. They have no history of being hostile or territorial to humans. Unfortunately, when we took them in, they did not get along with our roommates cats. Despite our intentions, our living situation is not good for them. They have been isolated to our room while the other cats roam free as to keep the peace but this is no way for them to live. We want them to go to a loving home where they can walk freely and snuggle without fear!

Story
Grimlin, Grim for short, is about 7 months old. He’s a very energetic, playful, and cuddly kitty. He’s absolutely loves pets and crawling into your lap and stealing all of your attention. We’re rehoming him because unfortunately he’s too talkative for us, he won’t keep you up at night, but he will go insane during and around mealtime. He is good with other cats, so if you already have cats and are looking for another he will likely be a good addition to the house.

Story
Eloise is a special loving high energy pet. She will not let you pick her up yet she cuddles and kisses you on her own terms. I have recently experienced some behavior issues involving moving furniture around or having guests visit. She shows aggressive behavior toward me only! She loves to be brushed and look out windows. Maybe she would be happy outside. Eloise has only been an indoor cat. Please somebody take her❤️🙏

Story
Stormy is very affectionate and would love a home with no children and no dogs. She is a ten year old tortoiseshell American Shorthair who loves lasers and sleeping on your lap or chest. She isn’t afraid to come up and ask for attention when she wants it and will let you know when she has had enough. We adopted Stormy when it was just my husband and me, and unfortunately as our family has grown she has become less and less happy in our home. She is housetrained but when she is stressed she “protest poops” in high traffic areas of the house. We love her very much but recognize that she deserves a home where she isn’t constantly anxious.

Story
Rory & Leo entered our rescue as stray cats. They are a bonded pair that we think might be mother and son. Leo is younger but they are both young kitties. Rory loves to be pet once she knows you but is cautious at first. Leo loves to play but is currently nervous around people but getting better everyday. They are looking for a home and family to call forever. If you are interested in adopting this beautiful bonded pair of kitties into your family, please read about our process then complete and submit our Cat Adoption Application online at: https://www.fabsrescue.com/applications

Story
We got Butler as a kitten and he was just a little too much for our household as far as climbing up blinds, we are used to our calmer cat. A family member adopted him and he has been with them for a year or so. That family member had to move in with us and our place isn't very big. They never got his shot or got him fixed. Butler hides under the couch all day and is very anti-social, he isn't rambunctious like his younger self . At night he comes out for food and to use the bathroom and the cats fight. I think our cat is the aggressor though. I want better for Butler and I want him to thrive in an environment that can nourish him.
