Story
Available for adoption is a Hollywood royalty couple...brother and sister duo, Bogey and Bacall*. Bogey is a handsome 19-month-old male black and white tuxedo with a bit of a mischievous personality. His favorite past time is pestering his sister, Bacall, which she doesn’t particularly enjoy. Therefore, they would need to be adopted separately. Bogey is a typical boy who loves to explore the house and hunt for lizards on the pool deck. His foster mom describes him as a super sweet cuddler and snuggler who loves to play and seek her attention. Bogey would be a great family cat, especially one with children who can keep him busy and entertained. Won’t you give this sweet boy a new home? Bogey's sister Bacall has since been adopted.

Don't you just love tuxedo kitties?! This is Mia, who is available for adoption. She's a true Tuxedo like her sister Merry. She is black with white socks, little white strip and the most adorable heart on her nose. Mia is approximately 11 months old. She's loving and playful but much quieter than her sister.

Freeway is a five-month-old adorable black ball of fur and a real love bug. She gets her name because she was rescued alongside a busy interstate. Freeway enjoys snuggling with her foster family and playing with the other kitties. She would be a great kitty for a family with children to keep her entertained. She has been raised with dogs so she would do well with a gentle dog. Let us if you'd be interested in meeting Freeway.

Story
Looking to rehome our adult male cat Felix. He was found abandoned as a young kitten and our family fostered and adopted. We are a 7 pet household. Three dogs and four cats. He has an issue that causes urinary crystals. He does best with a water fountain and urinary wet/dry food to lower his urinary ph. Occasionally he has flare ups and takes a 3 day med onsior (under 50). Pill is easily eaten mixed with a soft treat or wet food. We have a female cat that picks on him and stress aggravates the situation. We no longer feel like he is having the best quality of life here and looking to find him a reduced stress household. He is a large sweet boy (16 lbs) adores our other male cats. He is friendly and talkative. He is inside only but does enjoy the caged in pool area. He can be talkative. He typically hides with new people in the home but eventually comes out to say hello. He loves a window and will sit and bird watch all day.

Story
These 3 black kittens were born on March 15th to a stray mother. We have taken the mom in and the babies were born inside. They are very friendly, social and energetic. They have started eating wet kitten food mixed with kitten formula. They all drink water from a bowl. They will use the litter box when placed in it but need some more training to use it independently. All 3 still have blue/grey eyes that may turn a different color. There are 2 females and 1 male. If you are interested in adopting any of these cuties, they will remain with their mother for 2 more weeks until they are ready to go to their new home.

I adopted her back in Rochester, NY in November 2011. She was a little kitten rescue by animal rescue team. She loves attention, she is huggable and she sings loudly. She gave birth to three kittens in 2016 but I kept 1 black kitty to keep Lily company. As you see in the picture both are tight knit. Also Cai is the black cat I am rehoming to go with Lily. This account only allows me to put up one

Story
This is Bubby and he is in need of a new, loving home. Sadly, I have developed allergies to his dander and now require daily medications. Bubby is approx 5 years old, vetted, microchipped, neutered and on flea/tick/heartworm preventative. Recently found out from his new vet that he is FIV+ so he will need to be the only cat in the home. He is a very sweet and loving boy and all he wants to do is be with his human. He loves treats, chin scratches and belly rubs, playing with a laser pointer, and watching the birds through the window on his cat tree. He comes with all supplies (food, litter and litter box, scratching post, toys, and his cat tree). His ideal home would be with someone that is home a lot as he wants to be the center of attention. I hope you will give this sweet boy a good home as he really deserves it. Thank you.
