Story
Pixie is a beautiful, sweet girl with gorgeous green eyes and a personality that comes out once she feels safe. She can be shy and skittish at first, so she needs someone patient who will give her time to adjust. Once comfortable, she loves relaxing around the house, playing with her toys, and finding cozy places to lounge.Pixie came to me from someone who needed to rehome her. I already had another cat and hoped they would adjust to living together, but unfortunately their dynamic has not worked out. I believe Pixie would thrive as the only cat where she can receive plenty of love and attention. She has previously lived with children and did very well with them.Pixie is spayed but is not currently up to date on vaccinations. She will come with familiar food, an automatic feeder, litter box and mat, toys, and other supplies to make her transition easier.Pixie is very loved, and my priority is finding her a safe, stable, permanent home. ❤️

Story
Kiki came into my life 5 years ago when I met my ex-boyfriend. I’ve never been a “cat person”, but Kiki was his cat, and I learned to adapt to having her around. I had begged him to get her spayed while we lived together, but he never followed through. When the ex-boyfriend moved out, he left Kiki behind, even though he knew I did not want to keep the cat. She’s a very sweet, indoor 5 or 6 year old cat that likes to cuddle (once comfortable with owner). She doesn’t cry/meow much at all, nor beg for people-food. She is a petite, white, American shorthaired breed, I believe. I don’t know much about the cats history (i.e. shots, exact age, etc), since I was never her primary owner. I am working on getting her spayed, so please don’t let that be a barrier to her adoption! 🤗

Story
Rambo is a very friendly and loving young male cat 1 1/2 years of age He loves looking out windows and loves soft classical music primarily piano Chopin in particular. The music is very calming to him. He is sometimes very shy but clearly answers when called. He happens to love his scratch board and other toys such as feathers. Currently Rambo is fostered waiting for a forever home. He loves jumping up on his human's lap and likes being stroked. He loves hiding places but definitely responds when response called . Rambo needs a reasonably spacious environment where he can roam. I would say at the minimum a two bedroom apartment. He loves his humans companionship. In the event this placement does not work out a contract is written stating the cat must be returned to its previous owner/foster.

He is an active, vocal shadow who loves following his humans around, scaling cat trees, playing with moving water, and sleeping near your feet at night.Elijah thrives in a home with other energetic cats who love to chase and wrestle, and he even features an adorable, harmless fused-toe paw that just adds to his unique character. He is fully house-trained, great at respecting boundaries, and ready to bring non-stop entertainment and affection to his next family.
