Story
Need a furever home for this sweet guy. My daughter's cat that she left here. We can't keep him. He is 1 & 1/2. He was neutered, had rabies shot and had a feline Leukemia test (negative) all done back in April. He plays too rough with our 2 elderly cats and they don't like him. But, him and our Frenchie like playing & chasing each other. He is sweet and loves to cuddle when sleeping. No rehoming fee as we need to rehome him ASAP. Rabies tag included. Pickup only. Need to bring your own pet carrier.

Story
This beautiful girl was born as a stray in October 2024, and I’ve cared for her outdoor since birth. She is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped—all ready for her forever home! 💜 Personality: • Shy at first, but once she trusts you, she’s very sweet and affectionate. • Loves full-body pets and will lie down to enjoy attention. • May even bring you little “prey gifts” as a sign of affection. 💜 Needs: • Patience and love while adjusting to indoor life. • Space to explore—she doesn’t like being confined to small areas. • An experienced cat owner If she cannot adjust to your home, you’re welcome to return her, and I’ll refund the adoption fee. My biggest priority is finding her a safe, loving home. 📸 The second photo shows her as a kitten with her father and brother. Her dad is available for adoption as well (not neutered yet) and can go to the same home at no cost. If you’re interested, please reach out with any questions or questions or to arrange a visit.

Story
When we moved in to our farm house, a farm cat came with it. Her name is Marsha. Shortly after moving in, we realized Marsha was pregnant with a litter of six kittens. 5 of these kittens were adopted out to good homes, Marsha was fixed, and we kept one of the kittens back as our indoor pet. At first we called them Mr. Spots, but as time went on, we realized that we had a female so her name became Mrs. Potts. After bringing her into our home, we ended up getting a divorce and due to other obligations I am unable to give her the amazing home that she deserves.

Story
Currently looking to rehome my mother’s 9 year old cat due to my mothers old age. She is unable to give this adult cat the care and attention he deserves. He is a sweet boy that likes his alone time but wants to be on top of you while you sleep. Loves to play like a maniac and sleep in the sneakiest of places. Luna is territorial so he would do best in a home with no animals or children so he can be the center of attention.

Banjo was found in a grocery store parking lot near the dumpsters in our local town. We quickly got our TNR set up and brought him home. After 8 months of resocialization, Banjo is now one of our most loving cats. He gets along great with our guardian dogs and is often seen cuddling up to them. He deserves a safe, loving, and cuddly life with the right family!
