Story
Luna Mae is our 3 year old black shorthair. She's lived with us her whole life, adopted from a shelter when she was a kitten. She is very sweet and needs lots of cuddles. We are seeking to rehome her because she has become quite stressed out by the addition of our children. She loves to sit on laps and be near people, is incredibly docile, and healthy. She is happiest when being held. A perfect environment for her would include a calm household with plenty of pets and attention. She is fully in-doors and is trained for kitty litter. The adoption fee can be negotiated, I am just hoping to prevent scams.

Story
Stranger showed up about 3 years ago as a young adult. Only in the last 6 months has he let me pet him. He’s now living on my porch seemingly 24/7 and is extremely affectionate. He’s ready to be an indoor boy. He’s never lived indoors and is just learning how to be a domestic cat. He loves to sit on my lap and nuzzle. He used to be very deferential with my 4 cats, but now that he lives on the porch he has become more territorial. I think in a new setting he could adapt to living with other cats. He’s still somewhat wary of new people but quick to warm up. He just had vaccinations and was neutered. He’s very sweet and is ready for a home and even more affection than I can give him with already having 4 cats. It will be an adjustment as he learns how to be a domestic kitty, but I don’t think it would take long. He’s a real love bug and a sweetie.

Story
I got Ellie 3 years ago from the Humane Society. She is a cuddly, lively kitty! She is a sassy solo cat that has had some trouble being around other cats, which is unfortunately why we can no longer provide her the best fit home. She is seriously the most cuddly cat ever. Her only medical issue to come up is that she is prone to bladder stones. So I will mix regular Purina pebbles and prescription Hills food, and this does the trick. She does use her claws for play and protection, but it isn't a problem when they're clipped. She loves toys, treats, and her bed. Anything that I've bought her so far, I'll happily give to her new home. Ellie is my first pet, and deserves a loving, safe, wonderful home. I would love to stay in contact/receive updates and pictures if possible.

Story
Tipper is an 11-year-old sweetheart who somehow manages to be both spirited and soft. He still has a playful streak — he loves chasing lasers, exploring new spots, and getting in on whatever fun his sister, Delaney, is having. But when the energy settles, he turns into a total snuggler. He loves curling up next to you, settling into a warm lap, or lounging nearby just to be part of the moment. Tipper is also deeply bonded with his sister, Delaney. They’ve been together since day one and genuinely depend on each other for comfort and confidence. They nap side by side, “talk” to each other, and look for one another around the house. Keeping them together isn’t just ideal — it’s what keeps them both happy and secure. Tipper would do wonderfully in a loving, steady home that appreciates a cat with both a playful spirit and a cuddly heart. If you’re looking for a bonded pair who bring joy, affection, and companionship in the sweetest way, Tipper and Delaney are truly something special.
