Story
We adopted Pete in 2023 and he has been a wonderful companion to our family. However after we lost or beloved bulldog and adopted a new puppy, Pete is unhappy in his surroundings. He has always enjoyed our other male cat as a companion, but the new puppy has him stressed and unhappy. We are searching for someone to love him as we do that does not have an indoor dog.

Story
Beanz is a sweet, fun-loving 8 month old boy. He is super curious, energetic, and playful. His favorite activities include cuddles and kisses, playing with his sisters, digging in the litter box, going for walks outside, and playing tag. He is fully litter trained and doesn't spray. He's been around adults, kids, and my two other cats and has done well with all of them. He hasn't been around dogs yet but I'm sure he would enjoy a new kind of playmate! We are working on getting him up to date on shots and neutered but as of now he is not. Please consider giving this charming boy a loving home!

Story
Alan was a cat I found abandoned in the cold in February. I took him in and gave him the best care I could but recently I lost my job and I am required to move back in with family where Alan cannot come with me. I want to make sure he gets the best home possible after all he has been through. He is an absolute sweet heart who loves cuddling and a good play session. He is well mannered and does not scratch furniture. He is also positive for FIV meaning he is immune compromised. This illness is very hard to pass on though as it requires contact with blood. For adoption purposes there is no fee but I will require some proof that you have the financial means to take care of him.
