Story
Alfie is a somewhat high energy kitty that likes lots of play time and room to run around. She can be pretty feisty until she warms up to you, but once she comes around can be very sweet. She's not a super cuddly kitty but loves to sleep next to your feet or on your lap. She does not do well in environments with children or a lot of noise so a quiet home with no children or other pets would be ideal. She may warm up to other animals with the right owner that can slowly introduce them, but she hasn't had exposure to other animals. She thinks she wants to be an outdoor cat and loves sitting out on the porch for a moment here and there, but after a few minutes is ready to come inside so she would need to be an indoor only cat. As far as needs she is a fairly low maintenance cat, she just takes a long time to warm up to people and can be very territorial so she'll need a space for herself while she adjusts.

Story
Snickers is a great kitty. He is a huge lover and will snuggle like there is no tomorrow. Looking outside at the birds and bugs is one of his favorite things to do. He gets along fine with other cats as long as you introduce them properly. However, he does not like dogs. If you have dogs or are planning on getting dogs, this cat is not for you. He loves to play with the laser pointer and play fight.

Story
Shadow is a sweet little guy and a purr machine. He loves to sit on your lap and follow you all around (hence why i named him Shadow). He loves to play with cat toys and has some youthful energy. He enjoys being in charge and should be placed in a home without other kitties. He has been around our children on a limited basis without incident. He is litter box trained and loves the sunshine. He showed up to our house in September 2023 and is microchipped however the info was never transferred to his owner. After numerous fliers and postings looking for his owners without success, we believe he was dumped :( we pull keep this sweet boy in a heartbeat but we already have a full house. Please give this boy the home and snuggles he deserves!

Story
Christian is Lawrence's brother (not by blood). He's 12 years old. They have lived together since Christian was about 5 weeks (I found him as an abandoned kitten) and I'd prefer they end up somewhere together. Christian is much shyer than Lawrence, but is a snuggle bug when he gets to know you. He has a heart murmur that does not require medicine. He had ongoing issues with urethral blockages in 2014/2015, but has had preventative surgery and this is no longer an issue. He is fully up-to-date on shots and had a dental with extractions in the last 4 years. He would do well in a home with someone home frequently, but it is not required. If dogs or children are in the home, it would be best if they do not bother cats.
