Story
We adopted Ender 4 years ago and since then he has struggled tremendously trying to adjust to life with a dog. He does not like dogs and has behavioral issues (peeing out of the litter box) when in a home with a dog. We got him checked by the vet and everything is clear but coupled with our allergies we just are not the right fit for him. He would do great in a home as an only cat or first time pet owners, and is super gentle with children. He will come with food, a scratching post, and microchip feeder.

Story
Meet Mango 🥭 Mango is a 1 yr old Orange boy that loves to play. He is very energetic and loves toys especially ones with bells ! Mango is a in house cat. He is up to date on shots. He does well with children and other cats. He has never been around dogs. I’m hoping he can be rehoused with someone who loves cats as much as I do and someone who has other cats. He would love the company. Mango does not like being alone, he will be vocal about it lol.

Lily is a very sweet, extremely verbal and outrageously affectionate little lady that loves to be rubbed for hours but will not stand to be held for 1 iota of a second lol she's great with both cats and dogs and goes ballistic over a laser light!!

Had the female cat for 8 years. She is a joy & likes the attention. Will be relocating to another state. A family member has allergies to animals, therefore need to find a home for her. The cat had ear surgery about 4 years ago for multiple ear infections. She has no residual ear issues & has adapted well after the surgery . She hears well, playful & likes the attention. Looking for person or family who can give kitty girl the love & attention that she deserves.

Story
Thomas is a shy cat. I acquired him from a friend of mine, who had to get rid of him to move in with her partner. He's around 7 years old. I have no particular preferences in his future household. He likes to hide under things and watch people. When he's comfortable with you he is very talkative and will come and sit with( or on) you from time to time. In a lot of ways he sounds a lot like a baby moreso than a cat.
