Story
Jazz likes to play the gruff guy at first but it’s all a show and once he knows you’re a friendly, he’s a softy. He loves being pet and is a curious fellow, and has lived his entire life indoors. He’s neutered and declawed, and up to date with his shots with no known health issues. Jazz is 15. He was loved very much by his previous owner who adopted him as a kitten from a shelter but now she can no longer care for him due to illness. We are hoping to find a new loving home for Jazz.

Story
Jin is a sweet, shy American short hair tuxedo cat. She is 13 and up to date on her shots with no health issues. She’s lived entirely as an indoor cat though may have stalked a bird or two from her apartment balcony. Jin was loved very much by her previous owner who adopted her from a shelter as a kitten. But Jin’s previous owner can no longer care for Jin due to illness. We are hoping to find a new home and person to love Jin in her later years.

Story
Simba was literally saved from being ran over just about a year ago. When he came home to us, he was tiny and sickly, and we restored him to health and welcomed him into our home. Shortly thereafter, I became pregnant and we delayed rehoming him because we had come to love him so much. But, it’s unrealistic for us to continue to house him while we await the arrival of our baby in one month. I’m looking for an individual or family who can love Simba and his curious nature. He can be really shy when he first meets you, but once he warms up to you, he’s loving and curious and affectionate, and just a real joy to be around. Like most cats, he sleeps through the day and becomes a bit more active at night. He loves gazing outside while sitting on the windowsill. Simba also comes with two cat scratchers, an enclosed litter box, and all his remaining food. Please reach out if you’re interested.
