Story

This adorable 3-year-old guy is on the hunt for his forever home! Mambo is a total sweetheart who loves cuddle and happily curl up in your lap, follow you from room to room, and turn any ordinary day into a cozy one. A little about Mambo: ✨ 3 years old ✨ Neutered, vaccinated, and healthy ✨ Super affectionate and loves human attention ✨ String toy enthusiast and professional biscuit maker What makes Mambo special: Mambo is an amazing companion for people, but he’s still figuring out how to properly hang with other cats. His social cues with fellow felines are a little… well, off. He means well, but he doesn’t always pick up on when another kitty needs space. Because of that, he’d do best as an only pet or with a very chill, tolerant animal buddy. He is on the high energy side, and while he loves to be picked up/held but also to chase toys around the house. If you’re looking for a cuddly, loving little shadow to brighten your days, Mambo might be your perfect match.

Story

Zulu is an awesome cat that minds her business and needs a loving home. I adopted her when she was 8 months old and she has been with me for 4 years. She has traveled the world with me and I will miss her very much. My other cat is very dominant and does not get along with Zulu, despite being together for four years. This is giving Zulu anxiety and leading her to overgroom. This is likely due to the significantly smaller apartment that I live in after returning to the U.S. This is an extremely difficult decision but I do believe it is the right one for her health. Zulu is up to date on all of her vaccines. She has had active pet insurance for her entire time with me and has never gotten seriously ill. E.g. she has only had the typical cat "ate something weird" or hairball issues. She has a patch of very light hair due to the overgrooming.

Story

This sweet and sassy little man is still looking for a home. He arrived at my door in Nov 2023. He was emaciated, and wasn't going to make it outdoors. I started feeding him, fell in love with him, and brought him inside. He was clearly a former house cat. Sassafras had PU (perineal urethrostomy) surgery in Dec 2024. That, a partial prescription diet, and being separated from my other cats, seems to have fully resolved his FLUTD (feline lower urinary tract disease) issues. I have 3 cats and he is bullied by one of them. I've "tried it all" and nothing has worked. For his health, I keep him separated, but it breaks my heart. He would love a home of his own with no other pets or kids. He's a shy guy with anxiety, who would love a pet parent(s) who can relate, and give him time and space to come out of his shell even more. He's made huge strides already, and I know as an only pet he would blossom!

Story

Hey everyone Clue is going to need a home soon! Clue is a very sociable loving cat that I’ve been fostering over the last year after his last home was no longer able to keep him. I’m moving out of my apartment in June and won’t be able to take him with me. He’s deaf which has meant that he gets along well with kids and generally “loud” homes. He generally gets along well with other cats but some cats (most likely due his deafness) do not like him. He gets along with cats and has had play dates semi-regularly. He can be a picky eater and while not officially determined to be allergic wet chicken, turkey, & duck are no go for food selection. Beef is preferred but will occasionally swap to tuna when he gets “bored” or will add freeze dryed duck on top of his wet beef food I’m looking for his forever home but if some one wanted to foster him for May before making a final decision before I move in June please let me know!

Story

Hi! I like to call him Charlie. But you’re welcomed to name him any name you like once he’s yours. He’s sweet, he will rub against you, welcome you home, and enjoys short belly rubs. I am hoping to find him a good home to a good family who possibly has owned a cat before, he likes a lot of playtime. He will let you know if he doesn’t like something but over all he is a good cat. I unfortunately can no longer care for him. Feel free to contact me directly. Lmcmillan98@yahoo.com
