Story
I have had Andi since she was a kitten. She is a well behaved cat and loves all the attention. She would do better in a single pet household. She has been with me for 11 years and has lived along side her mom as well but I moved into a new house a year ago with my boyfriend and we got a dog shortly after we moved. I knew that she was not fond of dogs but we got a puppy thinking they would adapt better that way. Since the move she has not been getting along with my other cat and she has not adjusted to the dog either. She has been going to the bathroom outside of the litter box for a while now and I feel like I have tried everything to help her and get her to stop. So I think she would be happier and do better in a new home with no other pets. She definitely loves all the attention she can get and loves to snuggle. She just doesn’t like other pets any longer and gets jealous and she does good with children but gets skittish around them and new people. But she has never been aggressive.

Story
Hello! This here is Saber. She is a very sweet and shy baby but needs to be rehomed due to peeing on things a lot. She has a health condition known as FLUTD as was diagnosed by our local vet. She is on liquid gabapentin long-term (aka probably for the rest of her life). She is also on special food from the brand Hills — she has a VERY sensitive stomach and this food is like the only thing that helps her. Due to her very shy and anxious nature, she pees a lot on clothes or blankets out of stress but it has gotten too much for us over the months. She needs a very quiet home, NO dogs because she fears them. Saber loves to meow a lot and yell for hours to get attention once comfortable with you. She is a little hunter and will catch any mice in the house. $100 will include Saber, her food, medicine (ofc), and favorite toys. I want someone with IMMENSE patience to take her in. She is also very scared of other cats but if you have friendly cats she will warm up eventually.
