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
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
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
Cupid is super sweet to everyone he meets. He adores cuddles, belly rubs, napping on laps and cuddling up next to his cat playmates. He would do best with other cats since he has lived with them and always had a playmate or cuddle buddy. He was found on the street by someone walking their dog and delivered to the foster home in a taped up box.
