Story
This sweet 7-year-old snugglebug is the perfect mix of mellow and playful. Merry loves curling up beside you for cozy naps, but he also has a silly side—he plays fetch like a pro! His favorite pastime is bird-watching from a sunny window, where he’ll happily chirp at his feathered “neighbors.” Merry is looking for a loving home where he can enjoy a soft bed, a good view, and plenty of cuddles. He's good with older kids, but the young ones can make him nervouse. He’ll make a wonderful, affectionate companion for anyone wanting a calm but fun kitty. Owner will cover cost of first vet visit with vaccines as well as provide bag of cat food, cat carrier, and litter bin cabinet.

Story
Maybird came to us as a rescue cat about 9 years ago, a delicate little grey kitten. She was, and remains, shy, although affectionate when things are quiet around the house. She is still thin and has struggled with some health problems in recent years so requires a special diet and TLC. She will reward you with much purring and rubs against you to let you know she likes you and appreciates your care. Maybird would make an excellent companion for one or two people, would do fine in a small apartment or a larger residence, and can be left alone during the work day, as long as she has her food and water available and a clean litter box. We regret needing to find a new home for Maybird, but it's a necessary thing for our family. If you want a sweet, loving cat, Maybird is your girl.

Story
Bayou was found as a kitten in Bayou Sauvage. She is the sweetest, most gentle cat Who has never scratched or bitten. She is lovely and loving but is very skittish! She loves to cuddle on the couch and with her person at nighttime, and loves her people. She prefers to be left to her devices during the day, but will come to where you are just to spend time with you. You She loves to sleep, eat and watch the world go by. She does not really play, but is the nostalgic gentle and sweet cat you’ll ever meet. Her vet raves about her gentle nature. She adapts quickly and is very curious. She has boarded without issues and has been indoor and outdoor with no issues. I am moving to Europe and cannot bring this sweet little bean.

Story
Pippin is a gentle 7-year-old boy with a soft heart and an even softer belly—one he’ll happily offer once he feels safe with you. He may be shy at first, but give him a little time and he blossoms into a sweet, snuggly companion. His favorite way to bond? Belly rubs. Lots of them. Once he trusts you, he’ll curl up beside you and soak up all the affection you’re willing to give. He is good with older kids, but the young ones can make him nervous. If you’re looking for a calm, loving cat who just needs patience and kindness to shine, Pippin is your guy. Owner will cover cost of first vet visit with vaccines as well as provide bag of cat food, cat carrier, and litter bin cabinet.

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Salami was abandoned at my house when his owner moved out suddenly and unexpectedly. I am moving into a new home soon and my new landlord does not allow pets. I would rather him be adopted than left at a shelter where he will certainly be put down. He is a very sweet cat, but takes some time and a few meals to warm up to you, and until he's warmed up to you he can frankly be a bit of a jerk, and is therefore unlikely to be adopted from a kill shelter. He isn't aggressive, but can be reclusive and likes to be pet on his own terms and only by people he likes. He deals with kids well in that he avoids them instead of swatting or biting when he doesn't want attention, but he has not shared a house with other animals so is unknown how he'd take to that situation. Salami's vax status is unknown but he is neutered and does not spray. He prefers wet food and loves some cheese as a treat every now and then. This slender boy would love a patient, understanding cat owner's home.

Story
Sassy showed up at my door and walked right in. She is very friendly and playful, but also likes to snuggle. She has been spayed and her ear is clipped. We figured she is about 7 months old. She has the potential to be a loving family pet. We have not seen her around other cats or dogs, so the right family may be able to coax her into a home with other pets. I have mobility issues, and have tripped over her 3 times, causing me to fall. I need a safe home for her.
