Story
A month ago I saw a lady throwing him out near a dumpster. I intervened because I love cats and wouldnt want one to be abandoned by their owner. So she let me have him. I have 4 other cats, so I introduced him and it sadly didn't work out. Hes very playful but way younger than my other cats- so my other cats aren’t playful . So his playfulness would be met with aggression. From his background he doesnt work well with other kids. He might work well with other cats but only his age. Hes very sweet boy, who gets easily attached, he loves being around you. He is very playful but not too playful to where he is annoying. I would love to find max a loving home where he can stay forever. Thanks. I think its important to mention he needs work done on his teeth, and his shots need to be up to date. Thank you.

Story
I found him outside around Halloween, I’m not to sure about his age but he is an older kitten. He is quite playful and loving, always purring and wanting affection. Im looking for a home that can give him the attention he craves and can properly stimulate him with play! He follows people around, is talkative, loves food, loves to be picked up. So playful

Story
Girlfriend is a sweet, affectionate young adult cat who was rescued as a stray. She quickly bonded with me and loves human companionship — she greets with soft meows, rubs, and happy purrs. She’s also playful, curious, and enjoys exploring her environment. She would thrive best in a quiet, calm, single-cat home where she can have the attention and stability she craves. She has shown she can do well with people but gets overwhelmed by other cats, so a home where she can be the only pet would be ideal. Adjectives to describe her: affectionate, vocal in a cute way, people-oriented, playful, curious, confident, expressive. She LOVES cozy windows, enjoys cat tunnels and wand toys, and she bonds deeply once she feels safe. Girlfriend deserves a peaceful home where she can relax, feel secure, and be someone’s loving, devoted companion. *Indoor only

Story
I rescued Aggie in mid-Oct. In 2025; she came to my backyard, frightened and hungry. I fed her for a week before I was able to trap her and take her to my primary veterinarian to be checked out. She was frightened of people and of being indoors, but she has become very affectionate and sweet with me; some time, patience, and love goes a long way with her to create a rewarding relationship with this loving cat who now wants my attention and petting even before she eats anything. She's been in my home (in a room) for a month, but I have two other cats and one of them is very aggressive and hostile toward her. The other one of my cats is losing fur because of the stress, so I need to rehome her, I'm sorry to say. If she is adopted by someone who owns a cat, I think she would be fine with the cat, if the cat is ok with her -- she is very submissive to mine, even when they are hostile to her. She uses a litterbox perfectly, eats well, and has no medical issues. She's healthy and ready!

Story
Found outside so age is unknown, he was abandoned after his previous owners moved and left him. Brought him to the vet to get a work up, vet estimated he is between 6-8 years old. Gets along with other cats, however he needs his own personal litter box that no other cats uses or a home with no other cats. He may take some time to warm up but he is the most sweetest loving cuddly cat and will greet you at the door when you come home. Loves attention and food. His meow his broken so only cute little squeaks come out. His third eyelid is torn most likely from a fight he got into when he was outside so his left eye always looks like he has eye goop but the vet said it was normal and nothing to be worried about. He is honestly the best cat and I want him to go to a loving and safe home I just am not able to provide the environment he needs.
