Story
We got Sunshine from a farm when he was 6 or 7 weeks in July of 2020. He is a nice lap cat but does not get along with our other cats (2 sisters), which we had before getting this one. They had a hard time coexisting to start but after months seemed to get along. Sunshine is still young and wants to play with the other cats but they are older and do not have a lot of play in their nature. It seems like the other cats misunderstand the his intentions to play and become defensive. In the past few months they have become very territorial. We tried our best to make the situation work for a very long time but recognize it is not reconcilable. We love him so much but the life for all 3 cats living together seems more than unpleasant for all of them. We just want Sunshine to have a nice home with a nice owner. We will miss him dearly.

Story
My Dad found Boo outside and brought him in. He's a sweet boy, energetic and loving. A good cat. He has dietary issues. My little brother traumatized Boo so now he's terrified of all young boys. Young girls aren't a major issue tho. Boo is thought to be 7-8 years old. Boo needs space to run around. Boo is a mouser he needs stimulation. Toys and or someone to play with him. My grandma now has Boo because my dad moved to an apartment that doesn't allow pets. She can't afford to keep him so I'm buying food and litter for her but his behavior issues are driving her crazy. I know it's because he's bored, stressed or territorial but he poops and pees on the front and back doors.

Story
She is extremely lovey and loves attention. She needs to be in a home without a dog and with someone who can give her the attention that she deserves. She will snuggle at night with you on your chest, at your head or behind your back. She does well with other cats or can be by herself.

Story
Emmé and Claire have been inseparable since the day they were found and they both wish to remain together in their next home. Emmé (grey tabby) is 3 years old and is quite the social cat. She enjoys being around people, hoping that she could get some chin and belly rubs from them, as well as some treats. She also loves it when you swing a cat wand for her to catch or give her a toy with some catnip in it. Claire (mostly white with a few black spots) is 2 years old. When she first arrives in your home, she will be very shy, trying to hide away but still observing those around her. However, after a while, she'll become comfortable and be more like her sister Emmé, always wanting to be rubbed and following you around. Claire has not found a favorite toy yet, but one thing's for sure: she loves treats!

Story
Hi, I’m Mac! I’m 5 months old and full of silliness and wiggles. I love to play with my brother Cheese and we both especially love feather wand toys and puff balls. When we’re not playing together you can find us snuggled up snoozing next to each other. We also love humans and snuggling them too! We’ve been fostered in a home with a labradoodle and 3 kids 9 yrs old and younger so we know how to socialize. We are a bonded pair and will need to be adopted together.
