Story
My family needs to find a forever home for Lilo. We received him from a family member and have had him for four years. His age is unknown, perhaps 7-10 years old. He is not neutered (we were unaware of that when we received him). He is not a fan of children. And dislikes my 8 year old daughter. I am unsure about teenagers. He tends to bully other cats and would do best as an only pet. He has lived with a dog however we recently adopted a new dog who is not compatible with Lilo. Please find it in your heart to give Lilo a loving home.

Story
Dolly craves a calm environment. We have kids, another cat, and a dog and think she would do best in a quiet home with one or two people (no other pets and no energetic kids). She loves to cuddle anytime you are sitting or laying down, but gets scared of loud noises and lots of activity. She has been eliminating outside of her litter box but after multiple vet visits have found nothing wrong but believe it to be stress related. She has also scratched our furniture but we believe that to be stress related as well. We rescued her and have loved her for 4 years but ultimately feel she would be happier in a calmer home.
