Story
Stray I've been caring for for a while. Very sweet and she likes to be held and cuddled. Outside cat as far as I've known but has done good inside our house occasionally till she wants to go back outside. Sort of okay around dogs as long as they don't get her face and aren't puppies. She's also very talkative and likes salmon flavored treats and laying in her bed with her pink cat blanket.

Story
Jax was born in 2014 and has only been with our family. He is indoor only but will stay by us when we go on the porch on occasion. He LOVES people and I cannot express that enough. You can never give this cat too much attention. He currently uses his litter robot but any box will do. He eats indoor purina hard food and a can of soft food in the afternoon with a dab of Laxitone gel on top for hairball control. Once he gets used to another cat after about a week or so, he will become best friends. Just know, it does take a little bit of time to warm up to another cat but he will eventually become their cuddle buddy. Jax is great with our 1 year old but unfortunately, Jax requires more attention than we are able to give him with a child. I feel as if I am doing a disservice to him by keeping him here when he needs a family that can give him more attention than we can. This has been a very difficult decision and we want to ensure that he goes to the right home.

Story
We rescued this cat as a young kitten from my work 7 years ago and gave him to my mother in law. She recently passed away. He was sociable with her and was always good with my 7yo niece but got close to no one else. He has never been around dogs or other cats. We cant take him due to our existing cats dogs and toddler and my husbands brothers apartment doesnt allow pets.

Hi Guys/Girls, Oreo aka Orie here! If you are looking for a loving playmate, look no further, ITS ME!! I love humans and will love you too! I have lots of energy and I'm a great with conversation too (we can definitely trade secrets LOL). I enjoy being around my person so I'll follow you around to keep you company, however I like alone time too to keep my thoughts together. I love playing and watching wildlife and people out of the window. A good sunbath is great for my coat. I enjoy my cat naps and will snuggle you during yours. If you think I'm your guy, then please apply!March 25, 2024, 5:28 pm

Story
I know what you're thinking already, another senior let's move on to the kittens. Give me a chance first. My name is Mama. They tell me I'm 8 years old, but I still feel like I'm 2 years old. Those nasty rainy days have me feeling a little gross though. Just don't tell anyone. I have acquired a few servants where I am living now. They ended up bringing me in from outside so I can finally live lavish as I should. Attention is one thing I demand daily. Once you walk into a room, I will immediately greet you for attention. I mean after all this is my house, right? If you are prepared to give your love and food to me, I think this may be a good agreement. My favorite food is Tiki Cat food. You may have to limit my intake on that stuff.. I would love to have another kitty friend or not. I am okay being the only owner of this house. I would not mind smaller dogs but please limit them. I do need my beauty rest on a nice fresh cat tree. What do you say can I adopt you? Apply today at bossypawsrescue.org Adoption fee: $85.00 Estimated DOB: 08/14/2014

Hello I’ve had my cat since he was a kitten. Now he’s 3 years and 7 month. He’s very chill, relax, affectionate, loving, gentle kind, sleeps eat, will play if u want to play with him. He’s been my best friend. I’m moving out of state starting life all over, financially it’s a lot for me and I don’t have a stable home right now. He will bring you joy. He has no medical issues I just want him in a loving home.
