Story
Poppi is a very sweet social cat. She loves playing but also loves to snuggle and rest with someone. I adopted her from the humane society so she could live a life in a loving home instead of a cage. She is a little over 1 years old. She had been around children, dogs, and other cats and has thrived in all scenarios. I am hoping to find a family oriented environment, or just someone who has a more stable living environment for her. I move around a lot and I feel it is unfair to drag her along with me. I want her to have a place she knows is home and I hope she finds more people to love on her. I love her so much which is why I am doing this for her. I want Poppi to thrive in a loving home, and I know she will.

Story
I have had Gus for over 8 years - I adopted him in college. Since becoming pregnant and having a baby this past year, it has become extremely difficult to take care of Gus and love him the way he needs. He is a very sweet and curious cat. He can be a bit of a scaredy cat, he is not aggressive at all. I know Gus will benefit from having a new owner who will be gentle and loving towards him and give him lots of snuggles and the attention he deserves.

Story
7 months ago we trapped Skrunkers in our complex after she lost all her kittens to predators. We got her spayed and vaccinated just in time, she had pyometra. We got her healthy, back to a good weight, and acclimated to inside life. We want to find her a loving home since we are already at our max with 3 other cats! About Skrunkers: She is FIV and FeLV negative! We estimate her to be about a year old, maybe less. She is the smallest cat we've encountered! She's very talkative, loves people, snuggles, sleeping in your lap and playing. She's not a picky eater though we have only been giving her grain free wet food and she lets you trim her claws in exchange for a churu. She will come with all the supplies you need, a litter box, bowl, 2 beds, and all her favorite toys.

Pumpkin is very sweet, affectionate, & snuggly! She was a stray kitten we found in 2019. I’ve been through a lot of life changes and my new fiancé is super allergic to cats. His medicine only does so much for him. I want her to have a loving and safe home with whoever is interested. She comes with everything needed- food, food container, water dish & food dish, cat bed, cat tree, toys, & cat litter box/litter refill.

Story
Meet Finn 🐾 Finn is a sweet, playful young cat born in July 2024 and adopted from the Atlanta Humane Society in October 2024. He’s full of energy and loves toys, “cat TV,” and playtime. When he’s ready to relax, he’s also very affectionate—if you’re down to cuddle, Finn will happily curl up with you (and he’s known to pick up your hand to demand extra pets!). Finn is still young, lively, and would do best in a loving, caring home where he can get plenty of attention, play, and affection. He has a big personality and an even bigger heart, and he’s ready to bring lots of love to the right home.
