Story
Cat (yes his name is really Cat), was found as a stray while I was on vacation in Mississippi. Unknown exactly how old he is, but appears to be a younger adult cat. He’s a very sweet cat, he loves to cuddle. Cat does need someone who can give him ample affection as he can have separation anxiety at times. He will always greet you at the door with many hugs and meows. He likes to be held, and often times will jump up onto you if you invite him to do so. He will receive a vet checkup before he gets rehomed to ensure his new family receives him with as much health information as possible. I unfortunately cannot keep him due to unfortunate personal life events, and I will not be able to house him. Please reach out with any questions and I will do my best to answer what I know. He comes with his favorite cat tower, toys and scratch post

Story
This is Hester. She appears to have had an indoor home, then been made homeless after getting pregnant. She was being fed by a Good Samaritan when she came to live with a feral cat colony of 7 I maintain at my workplace. Her kittens have been trapped, neutered and homes have been found for all 3! Now it is mama Hesters turn! Hester has been spayed and litter box trained, and is being socialized. She entered a foster home to recover from her surgery. After 2 days, she was out of her cage and onto my lap, purring, making biscuits, and bumping noses with me. Today she got onto the lap of a friend just minutes after meeting her! She is the first cat I have trapped who didn’t thrash about, hiss, or use claws against me. She meowed sweetly just a few times. SHE IS SUCH A GOOD GIRL! She warms up to women quickly but loves my husband too now after having known him for about a month. Would do great in a calm indoor only home with no dogs, has had mixed results with other cats.

Story
Meet Percy. He's a young adult with medium-length fur. He is a Big fella now. I love to spoil the kitties. What can I say? March 17th he was trapped. Weeks prior Percy and another kitty were spotted with injuries that required medical attention. Took a volunteer week and only Percy was trapped and immediately saw the vet He's been at the sanctuary healing. With daily care needed he finally learned to accept us humans. He was a feisty grossly fella but the trick is wet food 2x a day with petting and patience. He was neutered a week ago and today he is ready for his happy forever to find him. Percy is FIV positive, also has a heart murmur, and due to his lack of ability /street wisdom he cannot be released back outside. He needs a family that will shower him with love, attention, playtime, toys and quality care indoors living only. A responsible pet-owning home. Did I mention how much he loves warm wet food?! Percy is good with cats and dogs. His stay at the sanctuary has allowed him to trust he's safe around them. Available now animalhousesanctuary.org
