Story
We found Spooky back in October of 2025 and she has been living in our basement since! She is a spunky lady, loud, and not scared to tell you how she feels. Very sweet and cuddly. Absolutely LOVES laps. She also likes playing with string toys in her car tunnel. DOES NOT get along with other cats! I'm not sure if it's just because of mine but they do not get along :( Hence why we need to rehome her.

Story
Hi, my name is Dunkin. I am 4.5 years old. I love window watching, sitting in high places, treats, and feeding time. I am good with kids, dogs are not my favorite but can get used to them, I am good with other cats. I mainly mind my own business and sleep during the day. But at night is when I come out and play. **Appointments scheduled to get shots updated**

Story
Chloe was my mom's cat and while I tried to take care of her afterwards I don't think I can. She's very sweet and chill, she is very independent and has been a great cat her entire life. I am just looking for a place for her to live out her senior years in peace and quiet, away from mean dogs.
