Story
Keanu is about a year old and is very sweet and mild mannered. He still has "the zoomies" of kittenhood and will zip around the house but outside of that is very relaxed. His temperament seems like he is growing into the "lazy type". He likes to be held and snuggled. He belongs to my son who is moving and unable to bring him with. We already have pets and can't take on caring for another- but Keanu gets along very well with our dog and cat. We would like to find him a good home.

Story
Hi, I'm Milo! I am approximately 2-3 years old and was rescued off my current owner's front porch. I am looking for a new home because my fur sister and I haven't been able to get along, but I am very sweet and loving to my humans. Bonus: I am leash trained and know how to sit on command! My humans will also give you my litterbox, food, and bed. I love toys, lap naps, being brushed, catnip, affection, and most importantly, food - I'll eat anything I can get my paws on and smells good! However, I do not like other cats - I need to be king of my castle! I am very adventurous, clever, and outgoing. I also love to vocally express my opinion, whether I'm bored, need attention, or think dinner is late. I would prefer the company of my human(s) for most of the day, but I'm learning to keep myself entertained with toys. I love to accompany you throughout your day and explore your home. I am marked as special needs because I am FIV+ but I have not had any related symptoms or health problems.

Story
Potato salad is a very sweet and loving cat. He would do best in a home with 0-1 other cats. We have been having issues with him going outside of the litter box, mostly on my kids things. He was not always like this, maybe in the past year. Our youngest daughter was diagnosed with autism and we have been very busy with everything surrounding that (therapy etc) so maybe he is not getting enough attention. He is healthy (just had his checkup last month), still has all claws.
