Story
My friend adopted Simba as a kitten 2 years ago, but is moving and can’t keep him. Simba is playful and cuddly. He’s curious and likes watching out the windows and climbing on things. He has never been outside. Simba can be frisky and scratch you or furniture while playing, but he also likes to be held for snuggles and lay on your lap for snuggles for short periods of time.

Story
Buttercup is around 10 years old, missing one of her teeth. I got her in Ohio nearly 6 years ago. She is a super sweet girl and loves pets and affection. She was declawed before she came into my care. She can be picky about treats or food. If you have any questions please reach out.

Story
My mom adopted a 5-year-old Izzy about 5 years ago. Since then, my mom has become much more unsteady on her feet and has tripped over Izzy a few times. Izzy has lived with my family for a few weeks. She seems to tolerate our 1 year old Chihuahua mix fine, but she doesn't get along with our adult neutered male cat at all. Izzy is a shy, quiet cat. She's not especially playful, preferring instead to burrow under blankets for a nap or finding someone to cuddle with. She might take a while to warm up to new people, but once she gets to know you she loves pets and purrs easily. Izzy would make a terrific lap cat. She would do best in a quiet home as the only cat.

Story
Gracie is an 8 year old cat who lived with her previous owner since she was a kitten. Her owner died last month and there was no one who could take her so I volunteered to keep her until I could find a good home for her. She is loving and loves to sit in a lap. She is not good with other animals. She probably wouldn't be good with young children. She weighs about 7 lbs. and she is so beautiful. She needs someone to take her and love her and give her a furrever home. She is not declawed and I would ask that any prospective owner would agree to not having her declawed. She is healthy and active.

Story
Looking to rehome two very sweet kitties! They belong to my daughter and I am not able to take them when I move. The gray one is approx 3 years old, neutered and super loveable. He is shy and will need time to warm up. He is perfect with the litter box and loves his cardboard scratching pad. The tabby is approx 2 years old. Neutered and also very sweet. He has beautiful markings. Loves to be in your lap. Also loves his laser pointer. Is great with the litter box and has no bad habits. They both love to watch the world through a sunny window. I think both would prefer a more quiet home, with adults and older kids.
