Story
Sweet 11-Year-Old Black Cat Looking for Her Person 🖤🐾Our beautiful 11-year-old black short-haired cat is looking for a quiet, loving home where she can be someone’s special companion.She is spayed, litter-box trained, affectionate, and very vocal when she wants attention. She loves being petted and curling up near her favorite human. She also loves food and treats and may occasionally try to swipe something off your plate! 😂She would do best as the only pet in the home. She gets stressed around other animals and may hide when she feels overwhelmed. She prefers having her own space and does not like other pets in or near her area.She also needs a calm, quiet environment and would not do well in a busy, loud, or stressful household. Her ideal home would be without other pets or young children, with someone who can give her plenty of one-on-one attention and allow her time to settle in and feel secure.She has a sweet personality, lots of character, and plenty of love to give.

Story
Hilo is a super sweet cat that lives to play and loves belly rubs! He is very affectionate and very athletic, like a loving ninja! Unfortunately, he is also very sensitive and became very stressed out when I got a new job and was away from the house more often, which led to him having Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (stress-induced bladder inflammation). After a stay in the hospital, he now needs to be in a special diet and medications. More than anything, we have to go to work, sk we can't provide the home that Hilo needs (someone who works from home). We love him very much are very sad to have him leave our family, but we know that he will be less stressed and happier in a home where can hang out with his human on weekdays.

Story
I’m Raven! I’m about 8/8.5 years old. My mom found me in 2018 when I was a few months old. I really liked my owner but fell in love with her aunt. My aunt is retired so she loves to feed me a lot, over the last few years I’ve gained a few pounds. I’m still very playful don’t let my age fool you. My favorite toys are shoestrings and fuzzy worms on a string. I love to cuddle and sit on your lap for hours once I warm up to you. I don’t really do kids under 10. I really get along with emotional or lonely people. My fur is very soft you’ll love to come home and pet me for hours. I love a good chin rub. I could possibly get along with another cat but please no more than one other cat. I'm scared of some men and stay away from dogs. My mom is moving out of the country, and my aunt is getting too old and moving to a place she cannot take me. Please contact my owner to hear more!

Story
Boo is a sweet almost 1.5yrs old and super playful loves to be loved but needs a home that is able to keep up with her needs and multiple litter boxes. Boo has a peeing issues with large piles of anything unfortunately but she is litter boxed trained. She is still super small and loves to be held on your shoulder. I don't think she is going to be much bigger than what she is now. She is up to date with all her shots and spayed. Boo is also good with other cats just maybe not this one even though they do show each other love but she wants to get their attention regardless.
