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
His name is Megumi (from the anime Jujustu Kaisen; "Meg," for short) and he is a 1.5 year old grey tabby. He is the sweetest boy, is super talkative, and loves attention. We have toy springs that he loves to play fetch with (and he will protest if you don't immediately throw it for him). He does not like being held and will approach you when he wants affection. He is neutered and up to date with his vaccinations. We just want to find a loving home for him! He doesn't get along with our other female cat (he keeps attempting to assert dominance over her and she despises it) and he would probably do best in a single cat household.

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.
