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
I went to a doctor appointment and when I was leaving, a CAT would not leave my side. This doctor office is surrounded by boarded up homes, large office buildings and a six lane boulevard. I couldn't leave the cat. He sat on my lap purring the entire ride back to my house. I named him JACK. Last name POT. Because I just know he hit the JACKPOT when I found him. Or rather he found me. He is neutered and fabulously loving. He is a smooch faced brown tabby with beautiful green eyes and a heart of gold. He will fall asleep in your lap accept all of your love and snuggles and take your heart. I CANNOT keep him because my boy cat is mean and will viciously attack. I've tried before. So, please consider adopting this beautiful, loving and sweet miracle boy. I honestly have never met this friendly of a cat. He deserves a great home. He comes with a new hooded litter box, accessories etc. I'll even throw in 6 months of prescription flea/tick meds.

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.
