Meet Pumpkin and Spice, a delightful duo of 3-year-old orange tabby sisters in search of their fur-ever home. Pumpkin is a sweet and shy cuddle enthusiast, while Spice, the brave one, enjoys bird and lizard watching on the lanai. Both cats are spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, and ready to bring warmth and joy to a loving home. Though available for individual adoption, we'd love to see these inseparable sisters stay together. It's heartbreaking that they were found abandoned, but your compassion can give them a second chance to find a loving family they truly deserve. If you're ready to open your heart and home and add some feline charm to your life, please reach out. Your kindness can make a lasting difference in Pumpkin and Spice's lives. 🏡🧡 #RescueCats 🐾💕

Story
11 year old Sly is a social cat who always had his puppy and cat brother. Never knew his life without them and unfortunately they were taken from us too soon and now it is just him and his daddy who he focuses all his attention on. His daddy loves him very much but can't help to feel there is a better situation for him to live out his days. He needs attention from animals and more people. Something his daddy can't give him. Sly is a very vocal, athletic, sleek, sweet, social kitty. He likes snuggles, treats, and sometimes playing. He is a bit of a bush dweller who likes sleeping under the bed or in his secret spots in the closet but will also find high discreet places to hide.

We found peeps in a tree in our backyard about 3 years ago as a kitten. She is a great cat and very friendly. She has not been outside since we got her. Our daughter is bringing home our 1st grandchild this week so due to family history of cat allergies we need to find a new home for peeps.

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.

These pups are in Tampa, Florida too!

We have had our kitty for one year, he loves to play, loves to cuddle, loves treats, is very sweet, has always been an indoor cat. My wife is pregnant, we are nervous about him getting in the crib with our infant and we also are moving into a new home that does not allow cats, due to the need for additional space. Praying for a loving home for him
