Story
Brandy and Pippin are two sweet sisters who we would prefer to rehome together as they are closely bonded. They are very social and sweet and adapted to mostly indoor life although they spend supervised time outdoors as well. We would love to keep them but allergies in our family have made it impossible for us to have them in our home 😢

Story
My nieces found little Teddy abandoned by his mother in our neighborhood park. They brought him over to my place and I just fell in love with him💕. I had to move my Dad into a facility that can take better care of him. He has advanced Parkinson’s. I’m on disability because strokes I’ve suffered. I became homeless for two months. It was just me and Teddy. I’m temporary living at my sisters place. She can’t have pets. Thus the reason I have to rehome my Teddy. My heart is broken…

Story
Toby is the cuddliest, snuggliest, sweetest cat I have ever owned. His meow is soft and sweet. He is incredibly tolerant of my 2 year old, so much so that he’s been referred to as a “ragdoll” cat by others. All Toby wants is to be held, pet, and fed. He currently lives with male and female cats, male and female dogs, and a young child. He is having issues getting along with the other male cats in our home He enjoys sitting in a sunbeam or lounging in your lap but has had to put it on hold for a while. For his safety, I’m having to isolate him from the rest of the cats. He would do well with other animals, just not male cats.

Story
Mia is a six year old kitty that I adopted in 2020 from Feeders Supply in Jeffersonville, IN. She is an absolute sweetheart and loves to cuddle on the couch. Mia has severe separation anxiety and doesn’t do well when I have to be away for periods of time. I work twelve hour shifts and am frequently out of town and this stresses her out greatly. I want the best for her and I am having trouble giving her the time and attention she needs. She has coexisted well with my other cat but would be best suited as an only pet as it’s difficult for her to acclimate to new pet friends. I would love for her to go to a loving home with someone who is a homebody and has no other pets.

These cats are in Louisville, Kentucky too!

Story
Tinker turned 11 this spring, we adopted her eight years ago and she successfully integrated into a home with two cats without any conflicts. She has always had annual vet visits, including precautionary blood test and her results have always been good. She also recently had her teeth cleaned and shots updated until May 2027.Tinker is not an ‘in your face’ cat. She does like to be in the same room near her humans and will lay next to you or on your legs. She does enjoy being petted and chin scratches. Overall she is very mellow, no running around, and no jumping.  She has short legs, so she can jump up to chairs, but not much higher, so tables and countertops are safe areas.  She is sensitive to loud noises: vacuums and lawnmowers will prompt her to go hide.I am moving overseas and will be traveling to multiple countries, and some of the counties have long quarantine periods in which she would have to stay in a facility, which is why I have made the difficult decision to re-home her.

Story
I found Seven in the streets and decided to take him in. He’s 1 years old, and turns 2 in September. He’s a very sweet cat, he just never been around any other animals before. I’ve only had him for a couple of months but lately, I’ve been too busy and not much at home to give him the love and attention he needs. Since he’s not fixed, he does meow a lot during the night. He loves soft food and loves to play. He deserves to be in a loving home and i hope someone nice and loving will take him!
