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.

I raised this Cat from a Kitten. He’s proactive playful and friendly. It hurts my heart to say goodbye to him but I’ll be moving back with my family and my mother is highly allergic. He’s smart, cuddly and deserves a good home.

Story
Oni is a wonderful, well-behaved former stray. He quite literally moved into our house on his own - we weren't even leaving food out for him or anything. We've been looking after him for about a year, but our senior cat despises him and shows no signs of coming around. So rather than having two miserable cats, we thought it best to go ahead and rehome Oni. He's litterbox trained and partially harness trained (he's used to the harness, but we haven't tried the leash yet). He's a full-grown adult, but probably under 5 years old going by his playfulness. We haven't seen him with dogs or kids, but he wishes our senior cat would play with him, so I know he'd enjoy a house at least with other cats (who don't hate him). He comes when called and would probably take well to more training. He's very food & play motivated. I'd rather he not be a barn cat, but he'd be great at it - he's a proven mouser. He was TNR-ed, so he's fixed and has had his shots, though I don't know how long ago that was.

Story
Beans is a cutie. I got her from a shelter and she was six months old. I did a FaceTime with her & her foster mom and happened to see her interacting with another cat. I thought that was a good sign and got them both. She is a timid cat and loves to eat snacks, but she has anxiety and would rather not be touched unless she gives you the sign that it’s okay. She has a sweet disposition, but she needs a lot scratching posts, cat trees, empty boxes, and the like to distract her from scratching up furniture. 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
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
