Story
Jasper is a sweet, shy boy, an affectionate kitty begging for forehead kisses and butt pats once he has come to trust you. He loves catnip-filled kicker toys, a box to explore, and cuddling up on the tippy-tops of pillows. He’s a long and lean senior cat, American shorthair mix, maybe Oriental in there due to his unique shape and fur texture. A few years ago, he had to have a bunch of teeth removed, so with his two teeth he eats only wet pate and has an adorable sideways grimace. Why we are rehoming: Jasper spooks easily. I adopted him from a friend whose rambunctious dog stressed him out. My partner and I moved in together, and her young feisty cat is bringing out territorial issues between the two of them. Pheromone plug-ins, extra litter boxes, and calming meds do not seem to help. He’s been checked for diabetes and urinary issues and all good. Jasper does fine with my chill older cat, but we think he would enjoy his senior years being a spoiled only cat and pillow prince.

Story
A superb biscuit maker and very loud purring when happy and content, Sweetpea is looking for her forever home. She has discovered a fondness for being pet and really likes to lay next to people for cuddles. She gets along well with other even tempered cats and could probably use a playmate when she gets too energetic. It would be best if she didnt have to be separated from her preferred person or other cat, she gets upset and meows for several minutes. Sweetpea is suspected to be from a litter born as strays. She was seen growing up among her siblings in a little wooded area behind an apartment complex. It took months of patiently feeding her and her pride before she opened up and realized how nice some people and especially inside can be! Likely in need of vet checkups, unknown her health overall. Sweetpea is so very loving once you earn her trust. Be mindful up to this point she has spent a lot of time outside and requires patience and reward methods to curb her unwanted behaviors.

Story
Juniper is an extremely laid back and sweet cat. When i first adopted her she was scared and hiding under my couch, but it took her about a day to come around to me and since she did she has had no problems behavior-wise. She is great with company. My friends have called her the friendliest cat they’ve ever met. My reason for wanting to give her away is I cannot keep up with vet expenses like I thought I could. Her shots are a bit behind at the moment because I haven’t been able to take her as frequently as she should go. I’m looking to give her to a home that can better support her vet needs while also making sure she’s in a place that she can feel safe and relaxed.

Story
Momma cat showed up with 3 kittens. Sasha is one of them. I have had cats all of my life and already have 4 indoor cats. They have all been seen by a vet and have had first shots, wormer (have the paperwork), litter box trained, roughly 3 months old now. The momma, all black, has been fixed. Looking to hopefully rehome Shasha with her all black brother Hamilton. They are spunky and sweet! Sasha is sleek and very intelligent! It's so cute when you look at her and all you see is eyeballs! lol They are terrified of dogs and would not be a good fit with toddlers. I want to give these babies the loving homes they deserve!

Story
A momma cat showed up with 3 kittens about 2 months ago. They are about 3 months old now. Hamilton is the big one of the bunch! He is so sweet and loving! Very energetic and loves to play with his all black sister Sasha who is also up for adoption. I would love for them to go together! Hammy loves to curl up around my neck and has quite the purring motor, lol. I've had them vetted and litter box trained. Up to date with shots and wormer (have paperwork). Mommy is super sweet also, all black, fixed and up to date on vacs. She's up for adoption also. I've had cats all of my life and have 4 already of my own or I'd keep these sweeties. They deserve a loving forever home!
