Story
They were given to me sick and flea ridden about 9 months ago. They are clean and healthy now. One had a kitten. The oldest female is around 3 years old. She is a tortoiseshell. The other 3 are her kittens. Orange male tabby about 1 year old, all black female about 1 year old, tortoiseshell female kitten about 5 months old. I cannot afford to continue their care and need them to be rehomed to loving homes. No fees, as they will need to be spayed and neutered. Please contact via email turner.stefani@gmail.com

Story
Jade was found abandoned in a field by a friend in 2016. My friend could not take on another pet so she asked that I take her. Jade LOVES being connected with people and other pets. Personal space is a foreign concept to her and will often crawl all over you if you let her. She's a goofy, quirky cat. She has trouble sitting still, even when you're petting her. Aside from that, she is a well-behaved cat. She gets along well with cats and dogs and I'd presume with children, too. Jade would benefit from a home that matches the love and attention she has to offer. The purpose of rehoming is because my husband inherited his mom's cat after she passed away. Jade's curiosity and desire to play has resulted in some kitty brawls so we've reached the difficult decision of rehoming her.

Story
Leo turns 7 later this year and we adopted him from an animal control center. He was super spunky and energetic but also the biggest baby and cuddle bug ever as a kitten. He has lived with us through 2 moves and 3 kids now. We joke that he is basically a dog. He follows us around, is vocal, and loves to play and cuddle. He is really good with our young kids and pretty patient with them even when they are occasionally rough with him. He does unfortunately scratch furniture. However we did have luck with claw caps when we kept up with them.

Story
Juju just turned 8 years old in the beginning of April. She was adopted from an animal control center and has been with us since she was just a couple months old. Juju is your stereotypical cat. She is lazy, kind of moody and likes to hide a lot. She is super cuddly and super low key. Although the one way to get her to play is with hair ponies. She has been around kids, from infants to toddlers, but honestly prefers life without them. While we have never had a problem with her and the kids, she typically hides most of the day and comes out when the kids go to bed. She has hissed at them before too when they get to crazy near her.

Nutmeg and his brother, Basil, are best buds. Super sweet and super comical. They love to cuddle up with their foster. They are "girl's best friend" kinda cats ! Do well with the other cat in foster home and respect his crabby old man attitude. Haha Also LOVE kids and greats all visitors ! These very easy going boys really need a home. Being a bonded pair, its been hard to find them adopters.
