Story
I acquired this cat from a friend who was living in Franklin at the time. My roommate and I have had him since October 31 trying to find someone to foster him but have had no success! We don’t know many details about him, but he is not chipped, not neutered, and roughly about a year old we guess. He is mostly to completely blind, but so intelligent and gets around very well! He is super sweet and a big cuddle bug. He does fairly well with other cats, specifically females. He has butt heads with my male cat and caused my male cat to be extremely stressed out which is largely why we are looking to rehome him. He is SUPER food motivated with no boundaries regarding taking food as well as playing too hard with other cats at times. He could really use some extra love and care to help discipline him with this. My roommate do not have the time or ability to provide this and would LOVE to rehome him asap!!

Story
We found Iris as a kitten in a field all by himself. He is a sweet talkative boy who loves to play and get attention. He will make a great companion to a single owner or maybe a family. We are having to rehome him due to him not getting along with any of our other animals. We just feel he would be happier and less stressed living on his own. Please contact me for more information on Iris.

Meet Robert. He is one of a kind, loves to cuddle, can be very skittish, a nervous Nelly for sure, but very sweet! He loves looking out the windows! Currently he resides in our basement level apartment with us and he deserves so much better! My husband found him at his work when he was a kitten. He’s not been fixed or had any shots.

Hey! She is 3 years old. Very sweet cat. House trained. Looking for a new home for her do to my schedule and I think she just requires more attention than I have time to give her. We originally adopted her from a humane society, so she is fully vaccinated and has had her shots and she is fixed. Hoping to find a good permanent home for her!

Story
We are trying to rehome our cat, Chara. She is five years old (born July 18, 2018), fixed and housebroken. We got her and her brother when they were kittens. We have had additional family members move in with us due to medical issues. Since then, Chara has been stressed. Too many people. Too much noise. The poor thing is jumping at shadows. Due to the stress, she has been peeing outside of the litter box on occasion, and fighting with her brother and the dog. She is a good cat and very affectionate. She just needs a quieter environment. Thanks!

Hello, we're Lilo and Stitch, the inseparable duo! We're known for our sweet and friendly nature. We're a curious pair, always up for a new adventure.

We love cuddles, but we're also independent, content to explore on our own. We're loyal to each other and to our human friends. We'd love to bring our unique blend of joy, loyalty, and laughter to your home. Adopt us, and let our love story become a part of yours! Adoption includes spay/neuter, vaccines (rabies, HCPCh, FeLv), booster shots of HCPCh, and FeLv, microchip, FIV/FeLv testing, and deworming.

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

Need help finding a fur-ever home for Grace D Cat. Before anyone says If you don't want a long commitment don't get a cat; Here is Grace's story: Grace was my mother-in-law's cat. She passed away two years ago. We have tried to give her a home here, but.. She wants to be an only pet. She doesn't want to be associated with our pack. Grace and Amie (our female cat) want to fight to the death Grace want to beat up Brown and Moo (our boy cats) Grace hates Casey ( he was Mom in laws other cat we are homing at this time too) And don't even ask Grace about Jude and Ellie (our dogs) When I get her alone.. she's all personality and wants pets and scratches. However any from our pack comes near her she's mad and goes hides under the bed. Please help me find a home for this gal..

Story
Echo is the definition of a lap cat. She lives to loaf, eat, and sleep. She is a purebred Burmese, I got her when she was 3 years old. She is 10 years old now, so she’s past her energetic-kitten playing days, but she’s very complacent. For example, if a child was to pick her up and carry her around, or dress her up, wrap her in a blanket, or other fun things that kids like to do she would not fuss even the slightest bit! I just took her to the vet today (4/11) for her annual check-up, so I will include the final report when all her tests come back. I’ve had her for the past eight years, but my housing situation has changed so she needs a new home. Like most typical cats she does throw up food occasionally, and cough up hairballs, despite having her on “sensitive stomach” food since I have had her.
