Story
Dillon is a gentle, affectionate young cat looking for a loving forever home. He is just 1 year old and has a sweet personality that really shines once he feels safe. He may be a little cautious at first, but after a short adjustment period he becomes very friendly and enjoys being around people. Dillon loves attention and interaction. He enjoys playing with toys, spending time with his person, and happily sitting on your lap for company. He is well-mannered and trained — he does not scratch furniture and understands appropriate scratching areas. He is comfortable indoors and also enjoys relaxing in a safe backyard space. Dillon does well with children and adapts nicely to a calm household environment. I received Dillon from a family member and care very much about placing him in the right home. Unfortunately, my work schedule and travel no longer allow me to give him the consistent time and companionship he deserves. I want him to have a stable home where he can receive daily love

Story
Faye is one of 4 kittens our cat Astra had last summer! She can be a little nervous, but is very loving. She loves pets when she is ready for them and will meow very sweetly for more! She does not yet like covered litter boxes and will need some practice before she will use one on her own, but she will use an open litterbox regularly. Faye especially likes to go to her human at night for pets and cuddles and gives loud purrs and makes biscuits in appreciation. Faye has a brother, Atlas, and we are hoping to find a forever home where they can be together.

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.
