Story
Hello, Rosy is 6 years old beautiful female cat, she loves her humans, very sweet and playful, she never been out. She’s very scared of outside she doesn’t even want to go in the backyard. She is scared of change, and sometimes territorial with other cats. She was my sister‘s cat and my sister had to move so I kept her for 1 years, but she still didn’t get along with my other cat,I’m not really good at training so maybe someone else isexperienced. Plus my kids have severe allergies. Since she doesn’t go out at all, it’s really affecting their health. my other cat is basically an outside cat He comes only to eat and to cuddle) But Rosie, she’s constantly inside the house. she likes to play and likes attention and love., I feel sad to give her away i took me a long time thinking about relocating her, but I think it’s time. It’s the best thing to do! I hope she can find a lovely home where she can get love and attention. Please if you need any other informations , contact me, thank you

Story
Meet Booker, he was found as a tiny kitten at the New Jersey airport 13 years ago and has been part of our family ever since. He filled our home with love, laughter, and countless cuddles over the years. Booker is our little social butterfly. He’ll happily greet you throughout the day and even hold a “conversation” with you! He’s a total foodie who loves cozy spots, attention, and snuggles. Most of the time, you’ll find him lounging in his favorite spot. Sadly, since welcoming our baby, we haven’t been able to give him the time and cuddles he deserves, but we were making it work. Yet, I recently found out I'm pregnant, we just moved to FL, my husband travels a lot for work, and we have no family or friends here that can help with the litter. So, after much thought and heartbreak, we’ve made the very difficult decision to rehome him. We’re hoping to find him a loving home! He is healthy, spayed/neutered, up to date on shots, litter box trained, and strictly an indoor cat.

She was rescued from a difficult hoarding situation, where she devoted herself to raising her single kitten—now happily adopted. Having done everything right as a young mother, Mia is more than ready to enjoy life as a cherished companion. This sweet girl absolutely adores her humans. She is affectionate, gentle, and happiest when she’s near the people she loves, soaking up attention and quiet moments together. Mia has a peaceful presence and bonds deeply, making her a wonderful companion for someone looking for a truly loving kitty. Mia can get along with other cats who are calm and respectful, but she would thrive most as the only kitty in the home, where she can feel secure and be the center of attention. A quiet to moderately active household—whether with a single person, a couple, or a gentle family—would suit her perfectly. After everything she’s been through, Mia deserves a home where she can finally relax, feel safe, and be adored. Mia has already given so much love in her young life. Now it’s her turn to be someone’s baby. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will fill your home with warmth and love, Mia may be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Nariño – Sweet, Affectionate, and Looking for a Quiet Forever Home Nariño will be 6 in October 2025. He’s a loving, cuddly cat who thrives with companionship and doesn’t like being left alone for long. He’s best suited for a calm home with someone often around, like a remote worker or retiree. He’s thriving on a prescription urinary diet due to past UTIs and a blockage but is healthy and always uses his litter box. Nariño is scared of loud noises and needs a peaceful environment with patient, gentle humans. Nariño does not do well with other cats or dogs and will blossom best as your one-and-only. He should be kept indoors, but may enjoy short, supervised time in a safe, enclosed yard or patio. Nariño is looking for a patient, loving guardian with who will understand his needs, give him a stable environment, and offer all the cozy cuddles he craves. If you’re ready to open your heart to to a deeply affectionate companion, Nariño might be your perfect match.
