Story
Meet Winnie; a sweet and spirited 5-year-old cat who is as affectionate as she is sassy. She loves attention, cuddles, and being close to her people, but she also has a playful, independent side that keeps things entertaining. Winnie enjoys spending time outside during the day if it's nice out (supervised or in a safe outdoor area) and lounging inside in the evenings. She's spayed, healthy, and litter trained. Thank you for helping me find the perfect home for Winnie. ** Winnie's brother, Pete, is also listed here and would be nice if they stayed together but is not necessary.

Story
Meet Pete, a smart and loving 5-year-old cat with a big heart and an even bigger personality. Pete is the kind of cat who likes to be involved; he'll check in on everyone (pets and people alike) and make sure all is well. He's affectionate, curious, and enjoys being the leader of the household. Pete gets along well with other animals, and he naturally takes on a gentle, protective role. He's neutered, healthy, and litter trained. Thank you for helping me find the perfect new home for Pete. ** Pete's sister, Winnie, is also listed here and would be nice if they stayed together but is not necessary.

Story
Tiger is a loving, affectionate 2-year-old cat from a rescued moms surprise litter. She is very social with people, loves to cuddle once she feels safe, and enjoys playing and being near her person. She loves cuddling on the bed or couch& is litter trained. She is INDOOR ONLY and would not be safe outside, so please do not apply if you want an outdoor cat. She loves wet food, eats dry food daily, is used to kids and normal household noise, and enjoys being held when treated gently. We are rehoming only because there are too many cats in one home, and they all deserve peace, space, and individual attention. It’s stressful for them at their age to share one space. Please only reach out if you are ready for a true forever commitment. We want her placed once, safely, and with love. **note: She is not yet spayed and will need a vet check and routine care in her new home. Please be sure you can afford that Thank you so much! Looking forward to speaking with you soon:)

Story
We have a 13.5-year-old cat named Mary, whom we took on from a friend of a friend who had to move and could not take her along. We took her in because we have the means and resources. We have 2 cats who are roughly 3 years old. We have had Mary since 6/14/25. We want to rehome Mary because she is attacking our 2 existing cats. She needs to be in a home with no other pets. She is the sweetest cat, and we would love to keep her, but for everyone's stress level and safety, this is no longer an option. We have tried to integrate the cats for months, but nothing is working. Mary 13.5 years old Missing her right eye Vet cleared on health and all shots She does have the sniffles Litter box trained with no accidents so far She does not like other animals She does not like her back feet touched She is a love bug to People. She is overweight, but we feed her 2/3oz cans a day and she is losing weight She needs an owner who has time to spend with her and has no other pets.
