Story
This sweet girl was found with an injury to her back. The vet thinks she was bitten and the injury became infected and abscessed. She has been treated with antibiotics and a spray medication. She is healing but it will take a while for the hair to grow back! She was living outside but has adjusted so well to being inside and has not any any issues using a litter box. She loves having her belly rubbed (but only for a few minutes!), loves treats, and loves playing with her toys! She seems to be younger (a year or so) and weighs about 7.5 pounds. She is looking for her new family!

Story
Max is a kitty who generally likes having his own space but can also be so loving with those he enjoys the company of! He loves 9 Lives wet cat food, hanging out on the balcony, drinking water from the dog’s bowl, and finding the comfiest places to lay around. He does not do well with children because he can be too playful and scratch, but has done well with another dog in the home. He has not been around any other cats since he was a kitten himself. The only possible issue is that Max has found one room in the home that he has accidents in. Despite efforts to clean the area, he has continued this habit over the past year. The vet has not determined a medical reason for this behavior. It may be possible that he just continues to smell the area as it has seeped into the carpet and would be impossible to completely eliminate without tearing up the carpet.

Story
This is Drüna, a five-year-old girl we adopted from a cat cafe four years ago. She’s a great cat; any cat lover’s dream really. She’s incredibly affectionate towards everyone and just wants to cuddle and be near you at all times. She loves being held and rocked like a baby. She’s a very calm cat who never causes a ruckus and just gets the occasional zoomies at night. She won’t jump on your counters or tables, only couches, computer chairs, and beds. She’s currently diabetic, vet says she could go into remission because she’s young and overall healthy despite the diabetes; she shows no symptoms of it at all. Currently, she requires two insulin shots a day twelve hours apart. It’s no hassle to do it as we give it to her when she’s eating and she has no reaction to it all. With our constant changing work schedules it’s hard to keep up with her medicine schedule, so we just want to make sure she gets the best care possible with people who can provide it.

Story
June Bug is one of the sweetest most loving cats I’ve met. She likes to have conversations with you and will chirp back when you address her by name. She loves playing with anything she can get her paws on, her favorite including hair ties and tubes of chapstick. She is FELV+ and has Feline Leukemia and therefore HAS to be the only cat in the household unless it’s with other FELV cats. FELV cats generally have a lifespan of 3-4 years after contracting it. It’s a transmissible disease which lowers her immune system making her an inside only cat, but the upside of that is that she’s perfect for any apartment! It’s not recommended that she get spayed because of her lowered immune system which is why she isn’t fixed. Despite these chronic problems she’s a healthy and active little gal. My household loves her very much but unfortunately are no longer able to keep her. She deserves a good home with more space than I am able to provide.
