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
Rigby is a very sweet cat. She loves humans, loves to cuddle and is pretty low maintenance. We adopted her when she was just a kitten and is about 6 years old now. Looking to rehome as we simply don’t have the time and attention this sweetie deserves.

Story
Rigby is a seven year old cat that I got from a shelter when she was a kitten. She is loving, gentle, and has a great personality. She loves to cuddle and sleeps in the funniest positions—usually with her mouth open and her tongue sticking out a little :) She is spayed and front declawed. Recently, Rigby has not been getting along with our other cat and it has lead to us having to separate them—meaning she doesn’t get full run of the house anymore. It breaks my heart to rehome her; but, I know that she could be living a better life if she were the only cat of the household. I just want Rigby to have a home where she is loved and well cared for.

Story
Dexter is a male kitten I found with his sister, in lorimor Iowa with no momma as she got sick and passed away. Him and his sister Dee Dee are a bonded pair because they have been together since I got them. Dexter was a runt with an infected eye and is now bigger and a bully to his sister. It’s ok though she fights back. Dexter loves attention and LOVES treats. He knows how to sit! Kind of he gets too eager so he stands on his hind legs.

Story
Dee Dee and her brother Dexter were found in lorimor Iowa with no momma as she got sick and passed, so without proper nutrition at a very young age she is very small for her age as of right now, her and her brother are roughly 4-6 months old. She and her brother are a bonded pair. Deedee may be smaller than Dexter but she bully’s him just as much as he bullies her. She loves people once you’ve gotten her heart, she’ll lick you and give you kisses all day long, and may nibble your ear.
