Story
I got Roger almost 2 years ago. He adapted to his new environment very quickly, becoming extremely cuddly and open with our family members. He loves pets and making bread and enjoys sleeping at his owners feet. He’s shy with strangers in the beginning but warms up to receive attention and affection, two things he loves! Adopters will be given a litter box, food bowl and the remainder of whatever food he has left for that week!

Story
I adopted him from my boss who’s daughter couldn’t keep him in her apartment. He is very affectionate and warms up to people very quickly. He has been around dogs but he does take a long time to warm up to them. He is great with kids and other cats. He also is very curious and loves to explore.

Story
Maggie was my brothers cat until he passed in 2022. My elderly dad inherited her, however he recently passed as well. My sister and I live in Atlanta, and are unable to care for her or my brothers other cat who is posted on this site, Billy. They are both super sweet and love giving and receiving affection. Maggie has been spayed and is very loving and playful. She still has her claws but doesn’t seem to have the need to sharpen them. She will make a great pet for the right home. I believe she is 2 years old. We are open to rehoming her anywhere in GA, but prefer for her to remain in the Albany or Leesburg area. She is good with other cat, Billy, and seems to be fine with friendly dogs as well. We love Maggie and are willing to wait for the right family and situation.

Story
Good day! I am looking to rehome my 10yr old orange tabby twin baby girls. I am unable to hold onto them with life changes and am seeking a new loving home for them. They are both very affectionate cats and people cats. They have not lived with children before. They have lived with dogs and other cats before. Ohana is the most active of the two and plays with dogs. She likes to be where you are. Lilo is quieter and just wants to cuddle non stop and lay on your shoulders or on you. Lilo is featured individually in the third picture and Ohana in the fourth picture. I would like for someone to adopt them together and they live together the remainder of their lives. They do both have very mild asthma but it is easy controlled and cost effective. Lilo does have IBD and requires prescription can food. They are easily maintained and their total costs of care doesn’t go over $150 monthly. This includes food and meds.

Story
Hello 👋🏼 My name is Juni (short for Juniper) and I’m a sweet, independent kitty in search of my forever home. I was brought into the shelter as a feral cat but adopted out because I love people and am super friendly. My current home isn’t quite the right fit for me since I don’t get along with my cat housemate and am content to spend most of my day outside. I’d make a great pet and better mouser if you have some outdoor space for me to roam and explore. I’m up to date on vaccines, spayed, and my current family can provide my medical records. If you’re looking for an adventurous and really sweet little kitty, please consider meeting me!

Hello, this is Grady the Tiger Cat! He is 13 years young with lots of life left in him. I’ve had the privilege of having him as a companion for 3 years. He’s a very chill, laid-back cat that wouldn’t hurt a fly. He enjoys being pet all the time, cuddling up close, and just great overall company. Due to his age, he occasionally has accidents. I’m looking for someone to love and take great care of him. At this time in my life, I am not home as much as I used to and traveling more due to commitments. I'm also moving soon where HOA will not allow him.

Moonie is 6 years old! I got her at a rescue center in Florida when she was 2 years old! When I first got her she was very scared and it took her a good 3 days to get used to the new environment. She is an indoor cat but she loves looking outside the window and listening to the birds chirp. Only reason I am rehoming her is because my new landlord will not let me keep her and it breaks my heart to have to give her up but I am hoping to find her a new parent that can love her just as much as I do!

Story
Poe's story is a bit of a mystery. We found her in a parking lot one rainy night and because of her snipped ear, she seems to have been part of the catch, spay, and release program. She's lived with us for three years with regular checkups, but now that we have twin babies, we need to find a better solution for her. She's a bit quirky, like many cats. She looks like she has a mustache, hehe. She occasionally will nip to get your attention when she needs something, usually food or attention. She's friendly with people, and sociable. She did well with our other cat and found a outlet for her energy in the form of playing. She doesn't quite know how to handle our babies, though. She very curious and wants to be around them, but she's scratched at them when they grab her tail, etc. We assume she thinks the kids are other cats, so we feel she'll need to be in a better situation. I think a single person, or couple without young kids would be ideal.

Story
This little guy came to my doorstep in mid-September, with some wounds and being much skinnier than he is now. I've tried my best to keep him, but my other cat has been experiencing some stress-related urinary problems with this little guy in the house, so unfortunately, he needs to go ASAP. I wish I could keep him, but I made a commitment to my first kitty a couple of years ago, so he's my first priority. He's FIV/FeLV negative, up to date on his rabies vaccine, and received an allergy and flea shot during his initial checkup. He's super friendly and playful, estimated to be about 1 year of age, give or take. Responds to "Whiskers" and "Booger", or really any name/nickname ending with -er.

Story
I found Cheeto at a local animal shelter during my first week of sophomore year of college, and she immediately stole my heart. Cheeto is only a year and six months old. She is full of energy and her playfulness is boundless, and has a spirited side that adds to her charm. She absolutely loves head rubs and enjoys playing with toys, especially ones that are interactive. I am looking for someone who can offer Cheeto the love, affection, and care she deserves. She thrives on human interaction and will be a loyal companion in your home. She has been a source of love, comfort, and emotional support for me, and I am confident she can bring joy and companionship to your life too. This is a tough decision for me, but I want the best for Cheeto. If you are interested in providing her with a loving home, please reach out to me. I want to ensure that she finds a home where she can continue to bring comfort and happiness, just as she has done for me. 😸🧡

This lovely, highly social, and very sweet cat was given up by her previous owner due to a life change event. I took her in temporarily but would like to find her a forever home! I travel a bit too often to be able to give her the love and attention she needs and deserves! She's very responsive, listens well, and learns fast! She's about 8 months old, is microchipped and spayed, eats well, and has a clean bill of health.
