Story
Marley is a sweet, lovable girl. We have had her for a few years. She needs to be the only pet in the family because we have noticed that she requires more attention than we can give her. She would be perfect for a family with other cats, she is not favorable to dogs and small children. Our family has changed and our sweet girl needs more attention than we can give her.

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.

Story
Beans is a cutie. I got her from a shelter and she was six months old. I did a FaceTime with her and happened to see her interacting with another cat, so I ended up getting them both. She is a timid cat and loves to eat snacks, but would rather not be touched unless she gives you the sign that it’s okay. She has a sweet disposition and needs a lot scratching posts, cat trees, empty boxes to keep her entertained. She might be better as the only pet in the household, but she is good company for Boba (my other cat) when they are home alone.

Story
Boba is such a great cat. She’s friendly, curious, confident, likes to be held and to play. She’s quiet (unless she misses you), and likes to be around. If I would have adopted her by herself, it probably would have worked out. I saw her & Beans together and got them both. I don’t know how long it takes for cats to become a bonded pair, but I’m worried they might miss each other (but secretly, I think Boba would prefer to have all the attention from her family instead of sharing it with Beans). She will be a year old April 26th. I’d like her to find a new home that has windows she can look out of because that is one of her favorite activities and tall cat trees for her to climb.

Story
Rita is an energetic and playful girl about 1.5 years old. She was found underweight and pregnant on the streets last summer and a few months later became mom to 3 healthy kittens. Although she did a great job taking care of her babies Rita is glad she has been spayed and will not be having any more litters. After some TLC this gorgeous little girl is ready to find her forever home. She loves being an indoor cat but does not love other animals and needs to be an only pet. Rita enjoys playing with her feather wand, chasing balls, watching birds, and cuddling up next to her humans. If you have any questions or are interested in adopting Rita please send me a message!

Story
Rehoming Two Very Affectionate Cats I am faced with the difficult decision of finding a new home for my two sweetheart cats. They are two years old and from the same litter. Healthy, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccines. Due to financial circumstances, I am moving in with my family, where there is a dog that is aggressive towards cats. To ensure their safety and well-being, I am seeking a kind, safe, and loving home where they can continue to thrive together. Please see the attached photos. If you are interested in providing a forever home for Moose and Bao, or if you know of someone who might be, please reach out to me at the email provided. Your kindness and assistance in spreading the word are greatly appreciated. Gratefully, Isabel
