Story
Eliza is a very quiet cat who prefers the quiet but is also roommates with an autism kiddo, a dog and younger cat. She is very sweet and just wants pets. She does not like getting her nails clipped but endures and is timid at first, or rather just doesn’t want to be bothered with humans😂 The only reason we needed to rehome Nisha… aka Eliza is because my older sons allergies have gotten worse and he is constantly sick, or itchy, or has puffy eyes and we feel that ultimately that is not fair for him. Will add photos asap

Story
Brumhilda is a curious cat and currently roommates with another cat and a dog. I would not say she is super attached. She prefers to sleep on warm places and loves the back of the couch. Brumhilda likes to chase insects, lasers, and toys. She is wary of people but is not a hissed or mean about it. When she is comfortable she loves pets but more than anything loves to sleep close to someone. Like her house mate, we only need to rehome due to someone’s symptoms of their allergies increasing.

Story
My wife and I discovered Regi outside our home in the Spring of 2025. After persistent and consistent meetings and feedings over the course of the year we were finally able to trap and bring Regi inside. After a few days of adjusting to inside life we brought him to our local vet to get tested/neutered/vaccinated/microchipped. Regi is a healthy, active, and loving boy. He craves attention and interaction. We would love to keep Regi and have tried to integrate him into our cat home but our 6 other cats have not warmed up to Regi. He does well with our oldest cat who mostly ignores him and he also ignores and he does okay with our boy cats who mostly tolerate and put him in his place when he invades their space. But Regi can be aggressive toward our younger girls. He chases or stalks them. They avoid him at all costs and we don’t feel it’s fair for them to live in fear in our home. We feel Regi would be better placed in a home alone or with an older confident cat.
