Story
Onyx is a beautiful 2 year old cat, she was originally adopted through Hobart Humane Society, but unfortunately was not a good fit for our home. When she is not roaming around the house exploring, she loves to snuggle and give kisses. Onyx would do best in a home where she is the only cat prowling around her territory. But she loves any person she gets to meet and does not mind a canine companion that is relaxed.

I have been having Milan since 2020, he has been nothing but a lovely cat. It is really breaking my heart that I am putting him for rehoming. He loves people, cuddles and plays with them. One he loves someone he never makes him by alone.

Story
Emmé (grey tabby) is 3 years old and is quite the social cat. She enjoys being around people, hoping that she could get some chin and belly rubs from them, as well as some treats. She also loves it when you swing a cat wand for her to catch or give her a toy with some catnip in it.

Story
Claire (mostly white with a few black spots) is 2 years old. When she first arrives in your home, she will be very shy, trying to hide away but still observing those around her. However, after a while, she will become comfortable and start to follow you around. Claire has not found a favorite toy yet, but one thing is for sure: she loves treats!

Story
Dolly craves a calm environment. We have kids, another cat, and a dog and think she would do best in a quiet home with one or two people (no other pets and no energetic kids). She loves to cuddle anytime you are sitting or laying down, but gets scared of loud noises and lots of activity. She has been eliminating outside of her litter box but after multiple vet visits have found nothing wrong but believe it to be stress related. She has also scratched our furniture but we believe that to be stress related as well. We rescued her and have loved her for 4 years but ultimately feel she would be happier in a calmer home.
