Story
Great indoor/outdoor cat named Figaro. He was a neighborhood stray that adopted us. He’s really friendly, and is fine with kids unless they play a little rough with him. If he’s hungry or wants more attention sometimes he swats or nips at you so you pay attention. He’s not a bad cat and 99 percent of the time he’s totally fine--he loves to curl up next to you and fall asleep. He's very affectionate. Unfortunately he scratched my toddler twice when she tried to play with him so she’s now scared of him, and he nipped my wife's ankle trying to get her attention once, so we’re looking to move him on to a new home. He's a great cat, just not the right fit for us. He’s neutered and has been given a bunch of shots (was up to date about eight months ago) and is also microchipped. A few neighborhood cats in our area come into our yard and try to fight with him, which is why I say he's not good with other cats (I blame the other cats). No idea how he is around dogs. He's great at killing mice.

Story
Ghost is a gorgeous, healthy 4-year-old black cat looking for his forever home. He is a sweet and gentle soul. He is neutered, up to date on all of his vaccines, litter trained, and keeps a healthy, low-maintenance routine and is completely content with eating twice a day and enjoying a few favorite treats.Ghost is a master lounger who loves finding a sunny spot to relax or gazing out the window to watch the world go by. He enjoys lap cuddles and will settle in many parts of the home. He sleeps through the night along with his parent(s). While he is mostly calm, he still enjoys batting around his favorite toys when the mood strikes. He gets along well with other cats once given proper, slow introductions. He may be a bit skiddish with dogs. He is great with kids and adults as well. He mostly keeps to himself and comes out to socialize periodically.

Story
Sapphire and Sassy are the cutest bonded pair ever! They are 10 months. They are affectionate, playful, social, and have grown up together, so they MUST be rehomed together. They are comfortable around other cats and will receive their next round of vaccines next week. They will be ready to be rehomed in approximately two weeks, and I will provide their medical/vaccine records. I will also send them with their belongings and some of their current food to help with the transition. This is not an emergency placement, so I’m taking my time to find them a safe, loving, permanent home. I’ll ask a few questions before placement just to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. Please message me if you’re seriously interested or know someone who may be a good fit. 🫶🏾 Thanks!!

Meet Elijah, a 3-year-old neutered and vaccinated black cat who is essentially a funny, loving golden retriever in a sleek feline body! 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.

Story
Tommy is an extremely cuddly, affectionate, and playful cat who enjoys spending time with people. He purrs constantly and loves to find creative new ways to snuggle even closer to you. He is immediately comfortable with new people and loves to play. Tommy is very well loved by his owners. Unfortunately, after adopting Tommy we discovered that our existing cat does not do well around other cats. Despite our efforts, our existing cat has been fighting Tommy and we feel that Tommy would be much happier in another home. Tommy has not returned any aggression to our existing cat and continues to try to play with her. We therefore believe he would do well in a multi-cat household, assuming your existing cats enjoys playing with other cats. We are hoping to find Tommy a loving forever home with someone who can give him the affection and playtime he deserves!
