Story
I have had Andi since she was a kitten. She is a well behaved cat and loves all the attention. She would do better in a single pet household. She has been with me for 11 years and has lived along side her mom as well but I moved into a new house a year ago with my boyfriend and we got a dog shortly after we moved. I knew that she was not fond of dogs but we got a puppy thinking they would adapt better that way. Since the move she has not been getting along with my other cat and she has not adjusted to the dog either. She has been going to the bathroom outside of the litter box for a while now and I feel like I have tried everything to help her and get her to stop. So I think she would be happier and do better in a new home with no other pets. She definitely loves all the attention she can get and loves to snuggle. She just doesn’t like other pets any longer and gets jealous and she does good with children but gets skittish around them and new people. But she has never been aggressive.

Story
Hello! This here is Saber. She is a very sweet and shy baby but needs to be rehomed due to peeing on things a lot. She has a health condition known as FLUTD as was diagnosed by our local vet. She is on liquid gabapentin long-term (aka probably for the rest of her life). She is also on special food from the brand Hills — she has a VERY sensitive stomach and this food is like the only thing that helps her. Due to her very shy and anxious nature, she pees a lot on clothes or blankets out of stress but it has gotten too much for us over the months. She needs a very quiet home, NO dogs because she fears them. Saber loves to meow a lot and yell for hours to get attention once comfortable with you. She is a little hunter and will catch any mice in the house. $100 will include Saber, her food, medicine (ofc), and favorite toys. I want someone with IMMENSE patience to take her in. She is also very scared of other cats but if you have friendly cats she will warm up eventually.

Story
Phoebe needs a new home, as I can no longer care for her. I adopted her when she was a couple months old from the Dane County Humane Society, which was about 11 years ago. She is on a Hydrolyzed Protein Diet that her body does very well on. She used to be on a high fiber diet due to IBS. Other than that she is a very healthy little lady. She will probably be shy initially since I have been her only care giver. I love her very much and can't care for her like she deserves. I'm looking for a loving home that she can enjoy for however many years she has left in this world. I do not want her to go to a shelter, especially with her being (considered) "older" :)

Story
Rowdy is a perfectly loveable cat. He is calm, playful, and enjoys being around people. He came to me from the Humane Society. When he was found by them he had been living outside in a small cage for a month. His treatment left him a bit careful about giving his love to someone, but he very quickly got over that once he left the shelter. He doesn't like to be picked up but he does love to sit on a lap or next to you on the sofa/bed. He is very playful and his favorite toy is a stick with strings being dragged across the floor. He has a quiet meow but a loud purr. I would very much like to keep him, but my cat will not accept him despite a lot of effort on my part to change that. Rowdy is not aggressive and has lived with other cats in the past. Rowdy is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

Story
Midnight was born on June 26th 2025. She is quiet and aloof, the perfect “low-maintenance” cat. She is shy at first but has grown more affectionate over time, but she shows her love in quiet ways. She will suddenly appear next to you in bed, quiet as a mouse, and relax with you. She is a kitten though, so she still has plenty of energy to run and play!
