Story
Was found in the winter abandoned as kitten in 2018. Sweet and playful. Tolerates our dog, barely, as long as he stays away. Playful, but gentle. Play fights without scratching or biting. She has a brother Hefe, would love to not separate them, but understand if that is necessary. She is an indoor cat that likes to watch the outdoors from indoors. Whenever she goes out she wants right back in.

Story
Link is a community cat that someone dumped far away from his home. A neighbor posted on social media saying that he was out in the cold but she couldn’t take him due to having other cats. I said I would take him. That was three years ago. Link is an indoor/outdoor cat that does not want to go outside when it’s cold. He needs the mental stimulation of going outside however. He gets ornery when he’s been cooped up in the winter. He aggravates my other cat. My other cat started to over groom and become bald due to this. He paces and meows. He needs a super busy household where he won’t get bored in the winter. He’s super friendly and purrs very loud. He does not have his upper teeth so his tongue hangs out when he’s resting, which is adorable.

Story
Theo is 3.5 years old. We've had him and his sister for almost 2 years. He's neutered and a big boy. He's an absolute love bug with people! Purrs like crazy, loves to be petted and held, super laid back (can easily trim his nails with him just sitting on your lap) Adults, kids, everybody he's seriously, such a sweet boy. We have two medium sized dogs and he gets along with them fine as well. His only issue is he just doesn't get along with our other cats. We have six other cats and he only sort of gets along with one of them (Our oldest, most submissive girl). He would probably do best as an only cat but could be fine in a house with one other we just don't know. For anyone who would be willing to give him a chance we will provide a littler box, a bag of the litter we use, and a bag of the food we use. Please let us know if you would like to meet this beautiful boy!
