Story
Louie is a loving, sweet, active, adventurous but anxious almost four year old boy who loves to romp around a safe backyard & cuddle. He's an excellent hunter and will catch all of the bugs and flying insects if you let him. He's smart and food motivated, which is great for training; he already knows some tricks like sit, spin, and how to stand up! I adopted him when he was 3 months old and unfortunately my partner is allergic to his fur and dander. He is a king in his own (and our) mind and would love to have someone to cuddle, play, and head bump with. He would do best with: - being an only cat or with someone who has experience properly introducing cats to each other. - a safe backyard and a quiet house - females (loud male voices make him hide) - someone who can give him all the attention he deserves

Story
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
I’m sorry but only serious applicants only as they’re a bonded pair & I would hope to get updates whenever the next owner felt comfortable. My cats are COVID babies so they only know me as a WFH parent so ideally they’d need at least one person at home throughout the day (especially Trevor who gets really anxious). They’re also really spoiled when it comes to attention & playtime which is why they need loving and affectionate parents. Both are at least 3 yrs old, never been past an enclosed balcony, and will do great with children that are nice to them. Honestly, idk how to sum up my cats other than the best you could welcome into your home. They don’t give me any issues and will make you a better person instead. Although, I have to rehome them due to my own health issues, I’d hope if the new parents change their mind or anything happens that they’d return them to me.

Story
PUSS will melt your heart with a single meow! They say there is no such thing as a purrfect cat, but Puss proves that statistic 100% wrong. Puss and her companion Pretty Boy came to LaMancha after their loved one had to go to assisted living. Puss was a much-loved family member, and she is missing her family. Are you able to heal her heart? Puss has a peachy personality and she is pure bliss. She is an avid ball chaser, loves to play, but she also enjoys cuddling and hanging out too! She would be fine in a home with a respectful dog, and she gets along well with other cats too. Puss is a perfect kitty. Puss is about 3 years old. If you can give Puss the awesome life that she deserves, Please email Adoptions@LaManchaAnimalRescue attention Laurie and subject: Puss.
