Story
I went to a doctor appointment and when I was leaving, a CAT would not leave my side. This doctor office is surrounded by boarded up homes, large office buildings and a six lane boulevard. I couldn't leave the cat. He sat on my lap purring the entire ride back to my house. I named him JACK. Last name POT. Because I just know he hit the JACKPOT when I found him. Or rather he found me. He is neutered and fabulously loving. He is a smooch faced brown tabby with beautiful green eyes and a heart of gold. He will fall asleep in your lap accept all of your love and snuggles and take your heart. I CANNOT keep him because my boy cat is mean and will viciously attack. I've tried before. So, please consider adopting this beautiful, loving and sweet miracle boy. I honestly have never met this friendly of a cat. He deserves a great home. He comes with a new hooded litter box, accessories etc. I'll even throw in 6 months of prescription flea/tick meds.

Story
Kiko is a confident, affectionate cat who forms strong bonds with his people and truly enjoys human companionship. He loves attention and playtime, Kiko would thrive best as the only pet in the home. While he does not do well sharing space with other cats, he blossoms when he has his own territory and predictable environment. Being the only pet Kiko is relaxed, happy, and deeply connected to his family. He is neutered and has been well cared for. Very sweet, loving and clingy.

Story
Juniper is a playful young cat who loves to be involved in whatever you like to do. Need a kitchen supervisor? A craft buddy? Someone to follow you to the bathroom? She’s your girl. She’s very affectionate and outgoing. Juniper has not met a toy she does not like! Her favorites are wand toys and mice. She also loves chicken flavored treats and will eat almost any kind of wet food. Sometimes she can get overstimulated when being pet and might nibble a little so I think it’s best if she does not live with young kids. She does not get along with our other cat and she semi tolerates my family’s dog but you have to keep an eye on her. (She’s a bit of an instigator) That’s why I think she would do best as the only pet in the home and someone with cat experience.

Story
She was found under a bush as a kitten. we've had her for about a little over a year now. She gets along with some of our other cats and not with a a few others. But the ones that don't like her beat her up often. She's sweet but timid and takes a long time to warm up to humans.

Story
Echo is a sweet 7 year old girl who is very shy. Spayed. My husband adopted her when single and now we have small children. Echo has become skiddish & sometimes withdraws. We’re worried about her and posting this profile in hopes that someone will want to adopt her -To give her a better quality of living & a calm environment. Someone who would be willing to work with her to engage her, & help her overcome her fears & anxiety. We no longer have the time or resources for putting all of her needs first. We don’t mind keeping her but she hides a lot and we feel bad for her. Could she experience more in her life? Ideal placement would be a person or couple with no pets or small kids. Will update with photos & video. Echo loves to play. She likes hair ties, catnip, & sticks and twigs. She loves windows and small comfort hiding areas. She loves to gather leaves and sticks from an open window that has roof access. She stays indoors. She is litter box trained and very well behaved.
