Story
TWO CATS: I really would love for them to stay in the same home. I’m so sad to post this but we do not have the money to maintain their medical bills at this point in life and I don’t want to make them suffer in my care. Binx (black) is 8, and Charles (Siamese) is 7. They both have opposite personalities, but they’re both sweet hearts. Neither is declawed and they are strictly indoors (however I think they’d like to go out if they were on a flea/tick prevention). They are up to date on all vaccines and treatments and I have all their medical records. They do well with dogs and children, although Charles is extremely shy to start out. They each have health concerns that have to monitored- they both are prone to getting UTI’s and are on special diets (neither are on any medications). They would do wonderful in the home of someone who works in the vet field in any capacity. We will be doing interviews and vet checks. No rehoming fee and they’ll come with everything I have for them.

Story
Sophia is an 8 year old female, spayed cat. She was adopted from a shelter as a kitten, and has lived inside her whole life. Our home has a dog and a second cat, her litter mate. She has been occassionally pooping outside the litter box for about a year. We have tried everything from a vet visit, changing food, changing litter, and using litter attract. I believe she would do well in a home where she has a lot of attention from a human. Currently we work, and all the kids have grown, and she has a lot of time alone. Today I found she has been peeing on some bags I had on the basement carpet. We had already planned on tearing out the carpet, thinking that may help with her behavior, but after today she will not be allowed on any new flooring we will be installed. If she can not be rehomed asap, she will have to learn to live outside or go to a farm situation, as there is no shelter in our area and everywhere else is full.

Basil is a young male American Shorthair who was found as a stray in my backyard a few weeks ago. After consistent feeding and care, he warmed up quickly and proved to be an incredibly sweet, submissive companion.Basil is:• Neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations• FIV positive (managed best as an indoor cat)• Litter box trained• Great with other cats and very submissive• Affectionate, cuddly, and loves to rub against your legsBasil is a wonderful eater with the sweetest meow. He is a great companion who loves to lie next to you and soak up attention. While he is FIV positive, he is not at all aggressive and is safe to live with other cats.💰 Rehoming fee: $0I

Story
🐾 Meet Greyson & His Best Friend, Vinny 🐾 Thinking about adopting a cat? Two bonded adult cats might actually be the perfect fit. Greyson and Vinny are a bonded pair, which means these boys aren't simply two cats who happen to share a home—they're already best friends. They've spent years together, and their friendship provides both cats with companionship, familiarity, and reassurance. Why might a bonded adult pair be perfect for your home? 🐾 You want companionship without kitten chaos. Greyson and Vinny are mature cats with established personalities. There's no tiny-kitten stage requiring constant supervision, redirection, and entertainment. 🐾 They keep each other company. When you're working, running errands, or simply busy with life, these boys already have a trusted companion nearby. 🐾 You don't have to be their entire social world. Greyson and Vinny need and deserve affection from their humans, but they also have each other for companionship, naps, exploration, and all those hours when their people have other things to do. 🐾 There's no wondering whether they'll get along. Bringing home two unfamiliar cats can require careful introductions and time. Greyson and Vinny already have an established relationship. 🐾 They help each other feel secure. Both boys can initially be reserved around unfamiliar people and places, and having their best friend nearby gives them a familiar source of comfort while they adjust. If you're looking for cats to share a quieter home—or you work outside the home and love knowing your pets have companionship while you're away—an established adult pair like Greyson and Vinny can offer the best of both worlds. Now, about Greyson... Greyson is a handsome gray gentleman with a calm demeanor and a sweet soul. He can be reserved when meeting new people or exploring unfamiliar surroundings, so he's looking for someone willing to give him the time and space he needs to settle in. Once he feels secure, Greyson enjoys the simple comforts of indoor life and the company of those he trusts. And through every transition, he's had one especially important constant: Vinny. These two complement each other beautifully. Rather than asking one cat to adjust to a new home completely on his own, Greyson gets to make that transition alongside the friend he already knows and trusts. For someone who appreciates the quieter pleasures of sharing a home with cats—peaceful companionship, cozy naps, sunny windowsills, and watching two best friends enjoy life together—Greyson and Vinny could be exactly the pair you've been waiting for. Greyson and Vinny are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. Their total adoption fee is $75. 🐾 ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt. Once approved, we’ll work with you to ensure it’s a great fit—and if it’s not, no worries! We’ll help you find the perfect match. All of our cats are adoption-ready and come: • Spayed or neutered • FELV/FIV tested • Dewormed • Up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines • Microchipped
