Story
I got Rhaenyra as a kitten from a coworker. My heart is too big and I take in strays when they show up at my door. I don’t have the heart to leave them out there in the winter. As a result, I ended up taking on too many. I can’t afford to spay her or get her shots. Because I took on so many I’m struggling keeping up with all the litter boxes and I’m in a small home and honestly it’s smelling like cats. My intentions were good but I am overwhelmed from taking on too much. It’s causing problems in my marriage and I need to be responsible and get her into a home that can care for her properly. She’s a sweet and playful cat. She’s been around 4 children, 6 cats, a dog and a parrot. She will make someone a wonderful pet. I just need help. I took on too much.

Story
I adopted Rango, along with his brother (Rigby) in July 2022. He is an energetic, kind, smart cat with a great personality. The reason I have to put him and his brother up for adoption is due to a job offer I have that will require me to travel. Owning two cats would not be conducive to that lifestyle. I will be making a separate page for his brother Rigby as well. Feel free to reach out to me for any questions or if you would like more photos of either cat. They are both wonderful boys who deserve a loving forever home.

Story
I adopted Rigby in July 2022 alongside his brother Rango. He is a bit lazy and cuddly. He will play but mostly prefers to lounge around. He is very affectionate and makes for great naps. The reason I have to put him and his brother up for adoption is due to a job offer I have that will require me to travel. Owning two cats would not be conducive to that lifestyle. I will be making a separate page for his brother Rango as well. Ideally I would prefer they are both adopted together. If you would like more photos of Rango or Rigby please reach out. As well as any other questions you may have. They are both wonderful boys who deserve a loving forever home.

Story
These cats are all related. The order of the photos is from oldest to youngest. The last three are five months old. A minimum $35 rehoming fee for each male, and $45 fee for the female. This price is based on the amount spent to get them fixed. If you are lacking necessities for the pet you'd like to adopt, such as a carrier, food and drink bowls, food, litter, and a litter box we will provide these to you but will require a larger fee be paid. If you are prepared before handoff you will only have to worry about paying the minimum fee. We aren't giving cats away for free, as having a pet is a financial commitment, and so we want to be sure potential adopters are able to make that commitment. As part of the adoption process we require applicants to undergo an interview over the phone, give a home tour via video to ensure safety, and participate in a meet and greet with your potential pet at an agreed indoor public location. We would also like to stay in contact after adoption.
