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
He is a sweet boy I found when he was a few weeks old. But I have been struggling with health issues due to my disease. I do not want to put him in a shelter because he hates confined spaces. He deserves a better home that someone can love and tend to him the right way.

Story
Meet your new "Best Cat Friend Forever", Snowball! This very special, very social former community cat is in search of a forever home. He was being fed by a local caretaker who noticed him limping, unable to put any weight on his right forelimb. We had him treated at a local urgent care and he fully recovered in less than a month! Snowball is extremely energetic, curious, and smart. Great eater, food motivated, and a fast learner. This makes him easily trained. He's very attentive and respectful of his family and environment. He has no special needs, just love and cuddles! Once he warms up to you you'll have found your new "Best Cat Friend Forever"!

Palusa is a name from the cat’s previous owner. She is a 4-year-old girl who is a great chill companion, purrs a lot, and a cute cat. Palusa is quiet and friendly, well-trained, playful when you get her small toys, and is not shy. Please give her a chance to find a warm stable home! *Palusa usually prefers dry food. I will provide all food, supplies, and litter if needed.

Story
Hi, thank you for choosing to adopt. We have a 13 year old cat, Monkey, that unfortunately needs to be rehomed. He grew up as a 'single' cat and has been unable to adjust to living with other cats in the home. For the last several years we were able to relocate him to another family member's home where he has been happy living as a singleton cat, but unfortunately they are not longer able to care for him. Monkey is independent, generally does not like to be cuddled but will come to you for pets and attention. He is very food motivated and will need to have his diet monitored to avoid overfeeding. Thank you so much for your interest and please message for any additional questions.
