Story
Octavia Marie is 7.5 years old. She is amazing with kids and great with medium or smaller dogs. She does have pica where she eats plastic, rope, baloon string. All trashcans must have a lid . I adopted her when she was 2 before I met my late husband. He recently died, widowing me a solo parent to a toddler. We had to sell the house and move in with my mom and dad. I work all day long and when I get home I have an overwhelming amount of work with 2 cats if you take both they come with A litter robot. My parents complain about this cats and my mom has told me they need to go because she can see how overwhelmed I am with them. Im a very exhausted overwhelmed recently widowed mom. I just want my babies to have a safe loving home and I simply cannot provide them any attention. They deserve attention and love and not being chased around by a toddler and ignored by adults.

Story
a few winters ago, Charlie showed up on our back patio which is next to a large forest, we think he had been dumped, as he was well fed and groomed and friendly. We tried to find his owners but no one came forward. We have had him for several years and he fit in well with our house full of other adopted cats and dogs. We are rehoming all our pets as we are moving overseas and can’t take them with us. Charlie is the sweetest boy, very friendly, he makes the cutest little chirping meow but is a very quiet, mellow guy. He likes to be indoor/outdoor but I think he would fine as an indoor cat. We love him a lot and just want him to be in a good home before we move overseas. Happy to transport him. Zero adoption fee.

Story
Lincoln is 5 years old. He is fine with kids and great with dogs. I adopted him when he was a 5 week old kitten before I met my late husband. He recently died, widowing me a solo parent to a toddler. We had to sell the house and move in with my mom and dad. I work all day long and when I get home I have an overwhelming amount of work with 2 cats <in rehoming both> <they are bonded but im sure they would be okay apart> if you take both they come with A litter robot. My parents complain about the cats and my mom has told me they need to go because she can see how overwhelmed I am with them. Im a very exhausted overwhelmed recently widowed mom. I just want my babies to have a safe loving home and I simply cannot provide them any attention. They deserve attention and love and not being chased around by a toddler and ignored by adults. Lincoln had a really bad reaction to his vaccines and the vet told me he should not get anymore and since he is indoors he shouldn't ever need them.

Story
Cat Injured Again Needs Safe Home Now!This loving house cat showed up in winter; I've kept him warm, fed him, treated his wounds multiple times. He's hurt AGAIN (3rd time in months) from fights. Planning to catch him tonight for the garage to keep him safe. He looks pretty bad :(He was bit by something a month ago and has teethmarks on his chest. Now it's the face, luckily missed the eye. Seems he has a fresh bite on his side as well. Clearly a domesticated indoor cat, gentle with our fixed feral girl but scraps with others. We have 3 cats, a dog, and 2 ferals, so can't keep him permanently.Healthy eater, affectionate -- needs a calm, single-pet home ASAP for recovery and love. Contact me urgently!

Story
Little Man is about 5 years old. He loves kids and gets along with other pets. He’s an indoor/outdoor cat. I’ve tried keeping him just inside but he gets antsy and meows a lot at the door. He would make a great cat in a farm, keeping away any mice and rodents. He’s very smart and cuddly. Never has hurt anybody, my 12 year old daughter gives him baths without any issues.
