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
Gravy is a beautiful 2-year-old indoor-only girl with a loving, vocal personality and a wonderful temperament. She enjoys her independence at times and may hide away for quiet moments, but if you call her for cuddles, pets, or dinner, she’ll come running fast. She truly loves affection, playtime, and sleeping in bed with her person. Gravy is playful and affectionate, and while she can be a little rough during play fighting with her sisters, it’s only because she’s a very solid girl with lots of playful energy. She has a stunning, unique coat color and a presence that’s impossible not to love. She would do best in a home with two additional cats or fewer so she doesn’t feel overwhelmed. Gravy is not spayed yet and will need to be spayed and get a general vet checkup ASAP. Please be sure you can do this & are looking for a forever cat. If you’re looking for a loving, playful, cuddly companion with personality and beauty, Gravy is an amazing choice and will love you lots:) 🐾💛

Story
Tiggy is a beautiful, gentle 2-year-old cat from a rescued mom’s surprise litter. She is the most shy and reserved of her sisters, but she is still affectionate, sweet, and enjoys cuddles and being held for short periods before she politely hops down. She is INDOOR ONLY and would not be safe outside. Tiggy is very gentle & okay with children but may avoid them if they’re aggressive. She can get startled & prefers a calm, quiet environment. Because of her sensitive nature, she would do best as a solo cat or with one very chill companion. She loves wet food, eats dry food daily, is used to normal household noise, and is a peaceful, gentle presence. We are rehoming only because there are too many cats in one home, and they all deserve peace, space, and individual attention. Please only reach out if you are ready for a true forever commitment. **note: She is not yet spayed and will need a vet check and routine care in her new home. Thanks so much!

Story
Rin is truly one of a kind. He is a deeply loving, emotionally intuitive boy who gives the sweetest comfort when I cry, he literally hugs my neck like a person or cuddles me until I calm down. He’s good being held. He is gentle, quiet, affectionate, and bonds very closely with his person. Once he feels safe, he becomes the best companion you could ever ask for. Rin does best as a single cat, or possibly with one spayed female only. He has had stress-related peeing when housed with a lot of cats and gets physically sick from high stress. He would likely do well with other cats if he is neutered, but right now he needs a low-stress home to thrive. He is scared of dogs and is indoor-only, no exceptions. He enjoys quiet time, cuddles, and occasional play. Rin is about 3 yrs old. Rehoming him is devastating for us, but it is the most loving and ethical choice for his happiness right now. So please if you choose to take him, be sure you can take care of his needs and keep him safe & loved.

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.
