Story
Beatrice, also known as “Queen B”, is a tender and elegant young cat, approximately 2 years of age. She has been a lovely cat to my daughters, and has been raised alongside her brother, Bowser. As such, I would expect that she likely will be comfortable sharing space in a home with another cat. She had lived most of her days/time indoors, but loves to venture out when given the opportunity to do so - the HOA here has restrictions, which has been a limiting factor.

Story
Bowser is an affectionate cat who loves to playfully gnaw on your fingers. He will follow you everywhere and make it known to you that he is interested in you. However, he does not want to be held down or restrained. He has never hissed, bitten, or attacked, despite being handled regularly by 5 and 9 year old little humans. He has been raised alongside his sister, Beatrice, so I assume he is also cat friendly for others.

Story
Mr. Beans is a sweet little cuddle bug! He is a healthy weight at just under 10 pounds and is neutered. He is a bit of a Velcro cat, he will follow me from room to room and happily rubs his body and face on everyone in the family including the dog. He likes to cuddle on the couch and usually sleeps with me for most of the night. His tail vibrates when he is extra happy! He likes to play with his feline housemate, Boogie (also in need of a home), and often naps and cuddles with the dog. He is house-trained and uses the litter box and scratching posts with no issues. He does like to nibble on houseplants so if they are not cat safe, that could pose a safety issue. My living situation is changing as I am moving in with someone who has severe cat allergies and will not be able to keep him.

Story
Beautiful Boogie is a petite sweetheart! She is 7 pounds and is spayed. She has the softest and silkiest fur I have ever felt on a short hair cat! She is very vocal and playful and likes to meow for treats! She has strong play-hunting instincts and will bring me gifts of little plush toys that she finds around the house. She likes to cuddle when people are calm and settled on the couch or in bed. She has been raised with another cat (also in need of a home), a dog and two rambunctious little boys so she is well socialized and easy going. She is house trained, and uses the litter box and scratching post with no issues. My living situation is changing as I am moving in with someone who has a severe cat allergy so I won't be able to keep her.

Story
I’m Cali, a Domestic American shorthair Calico. Born feral, I was rescued and sent to Franklin County Human Society 4/30/19. My approximate dob is 4/12/19. I was adopted on 6/4/19 by my current family who have raised me. Much like a dog, I love to cuddle inside and run and play outside. I’m talkative, loving and quite the picky eater. Speaking of dogs, I tolerate them as long as they don’t pester me, even though I may pester them. I’m chill w/ other cats but like my own space. Though, I like to be in everyone elses space when I see fit. You’ll be surprised to know my sister likes to give me baths and I guess I dont seem to mind it mostly because I like drinking the water. Lately I’ve become more interested in being outdoor than indoor which have caused me to have behavioral problems with my family. I hope to find a new loving home and family with space to freely roam outdoors and indoors at no inconvenience to my owners.

Story
Beans came to us not too long ago. She was malnourished and in pretty rough shape, but has since been cared for and well loved. She is spayed, up to date on all shots and vaccines, and such a lovable baby. The vet estimates her age somewhere between 6-8. Beans is great with kids, dogs, and other cats. She even loves watching the cows on our farm! While she does fine outside, she definitely prefers cuddling up indoors. She is not very active, loves laying around, and loves to be pet/loved on! Beans would make a great addition to any home.
