Story
Kapha and Pitta were showed up together at a rural home in Ohio in the fall of 2017. Both thought to be less than a year old, I tried to help find a home for them and eventually became their home. When I had to leave Ohio in 2022, I had to ask friends to take them in and thankfully found a temporary home, but now that home will no longer be available. I would be delighted if they could find a home together. Kapha, the big boy, enjoys heavy flops, chest cuddles, sleeping between legs, and giving chase to laser pointers, feathers, and friends. He loves to eat. In 2020, he had urinary crystals, but has been on prescription food since and has not had problems. Pitta is the sweet but largely aloof princess who will occassionally bless you with cuddles. She prefers warm spots to sit. Both love watching the outdoors and occassionally exploring it if you're open to that.

Story
Luufy (black) is a lovable cat. He loves to be held and petted. He reminds me of a rag doll cat. He is part of a bonded pair. He is also an escape artist. He will get to escape outside at every chance. His new family will have to be ok with him going out or be ever on the lookout. Illusion(tabby) is quiet and does not like to be bothered. He has his moments where he will allow it though. He is also an eater and may need monitoring.

Story
I found Momma one night when taking out my trash. She was a super skinny and young cat (maybe even a kitten herself). She had one kitten following her and we took them both in. Later her other 2 kittens were found 2 doors down so we took them all and Momma was able to raise her babies until they all were adopted. She is the last one and gets along with everyone and every animal she's met so far. Mr partner and I are moving out of the country in June and we cannot take a third cat but we are hoping that Momma can find her forever family with someone she can love on just like she loved on her 3 babies.

Story
I took Ace in from a friend who's Cat had kittens and they couldn't keep them all since they already had so many other pets. Right away he warmed up to my two children ages 3 & 2 and quickly became a member of the family. I unfortunately was allergic and didnt realize since I had never really been around cats in my life. While I tried to hang in there and just clean like crazy, that's just not how allergies work. I truly do want hime to go to a loving home with anyone who loves cuddle and will continue to give him baked salmon for Sunday dinner. He's super friendly with babies and loves to curl up near your feet on movie nights.
