Story
I found Baby as a kitten on my block, she had just given birth to a litter, being quite young herself (about 6 months at the time). Animal control took her litter away but not her. I took her in, got her fixed and she's been with me since then (Late summer 2022) She is super sweet, silly, affectionate, and playful. I think Baby prefers to be a solo kitty in the house but I have other cats at the moment with no major issues. Baby does not give me any problems whatsoever, a laid back young lady for sure and a joy to be around!

We are seeking to rehoming our cat phoenix due some life issues my husband and I are going through. He is a 10 year old cat who sleeps all day, loves to cuddle, and is extremelly affectionate. He's perfect for those seeking a calm cat who's gonna be there for you emotionally. He's trained and obey perfectly, does not scratch any furniture, and does not require any special needs. He's a healthy cat who gets along with dogs, other cats, and kids. 🙂

Story
Kapha and Pitta were showed up together at a rural home in Ohio in the fall of 2017. Both thought to be less than a year old, I tried to help find a home for them and eventually became their home. When I had to leave Ohio in 2022, I had to ask friends to take them in and thankfully found a temporary home, but now that home will no longer be available. I would be delighted if they could find a home together. Kapha, the big boy, enjoys heavy flops, chest cuddles, sleeping between legs, and giving chase to laser pointers, feathers, and friends. He loves to eat. In 2020, he had urinary crystals, but has been on prescription food since and has not had problems. Pitta is the sweet but largely aloof princess who will occassionally bless you with cuddles. She prefers warm spots to sit. Both love watching the outdoors and occassionally exploring it if you're open to that.
