Story
I got Paya from a rescue when she was a kitty. Paya is 6 years. She loves attention. She needs someone that will sit watch TV and pet her. She loves toys and can play by herself. She is skittish at first when when she trusts you she will want to be with you all the time. She gets along with some cats and some dogs.

Story
We found Primrose on the road as an 8 wk old kitten. She was born to a feral litter on December 23, 2021. She is 14 pounds. Primrose is extremely affectionate. She is always laying on me, is extremely loving and sweet, very playful, and she plays fetch specifically with cotton tinsel balls. She will bring them back to you. She is very, very talkative and sometimes pronunciates. She does well with dogs once she gets used to them. She can get along with cats, but has no sense of personal space and can be kind of aggressive and territorial. Her biggest problem is peeing outside of her litter box, which we have ruled out all medical issues for. We could have missed something, but we assume it is because we live in 400sq ft with 4 cats. She is a bit anxious and may do better with medication to calm her nerves. She is a beautiful, lovely lady and we want her to go to a patient, loving, and experienced owner where she will be loved forever. She deserves it. I love her so very much.

Story
Please don't pass me by! I want so much for you to love me. I may look like a bruiser, with my big, broad head and muscular body, but I'm a very sensitive fellow. I was born under a shed in a backyard. Mama disappeared when I was about 6 weeks old. On the night the coyotes were howling, the lady who brought me food every day brought me inside. There were lots of cats there, and when I got older, 2 of them started beating me up all the time. Fur would fly, and sometimes they even made me bleed, but I'd just cower and I wouldn't fight back—I'm a lover, not a fighter! Now, to keep me safe, I'm living in isolation in a small bathroom with one other cat. The people come in and play with me but I'm bored and I'm lonely. I can be a little shy at first, but once I know you, I'll be doing figure eights around your feet and bombarding you with head butts. I'm mellow and gentle and I'm such a pretty boy. Just look at my impish smile! Can you please give me a better life than I'm having now?

Story
Hi! I'm Dodi, short for Dorothy Parker. I'm known as the gentle giant because I'm 17 pounds of fuzzy love. They say I might be magical ... being a black cat born on Friday the 13th. You can be sure that I'll cast a spell on your heart! I'm in good health and in excellent shape. Round is a shape! I have a big round body, a big round head, and big round orange eyes. Born 4 years ago on the back porch with my siblings, we were taken inside on the night the coyotes came roaming. My people love me, but there are over thirty cats in this house. It's just too much! My people are choosing to list me because I get picked on by my two brothers. And, they know I'll be happy and do well wherever I'm given cuddles and kisses. I won't jump on your counters or tables, but you will find me on your bed, sometimes lying on my back to tan my beautiful belly under the ceiling light. I also like to sleep on shoes. Feather toys and ball toys are my favorites. Please give me a new loving home.

Story
Maggie was a skeletal half-feral kitty at my sister’s begging for food. Unfortunately, she had digestive problems, threw up everything she ate; I didn’t realize until I brought her home; was why she was so skinny. 6 years later, she takes prescription dry food, a tad overweight & a healthy, sweet, indoor kitty. She doesn’t like being picked up so much but instead will sit next to you and rub against you. She’s very well mannered. If she scratches, put a post there & she gets it. Never a problem except vet visits, but what kitty likes them? Give her high places she feels safe, she’ll give you love, a low maintenance independent kitty. A week to trust you, but she’ll come purring every night and kiss your fingers in bed. I’m leaving the country and won’t stay in one place. She doesn’t do well confined, and I can’t travel with her. It breaks my heart, but she needs stability. Mature responsible home would be best. I’d help with prescription-food costs.
