Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Goldaline has been visiting us for months, eventually he decided he wanted to come inside and become part of the family. Unfortunately, he does not get along with our existing cat Cecilia. He is very loving with a loud purr and big personality. We suspect he has single kitten syndrome because of his behavioral issues, he will need a kind and experienced new owner.

Story
This is Benji, and he needs your help This baby was left behind by a family that did not want to care for him. When he first arrived, he was scared, traumatized and confused. Benji has been in our care for about two month, and we have taken the time to help him get out of his shell. He is still very scared of humans, often threatened by touch or movement. We are hoping someone with experience, love, tenderness and patience can take him and help him. We have come to love Benji, and you will see that underneath his rough surface is a boy who desires love and affection. We have a cat and he seems very curious about him, so we think he might do well with other cats with proper introduction. Children and loud noises scare him. But with proper introduction we know he will blossom in any home. Benji is waiting for you, and he can’t wait to meet you ❤️

Paris is a nice cat. She doesn’t do well with change. She loves to eat and is very much on a schedule. I think she would do well with someone who can devote a lot of time to her. She doesn’t like being left alone for long periods.

Details
Good with dogs, House-trained,
Story
He’s a social cat who loves being around people and often follows you from room to room. While he’s not the most overtly affectionate, he has a quiet way of lifting your spirits when you need it and be by your side. He understands basic commands like come, go, and no (at least with us!). Some of his favorite things include kneading on soft blankets, being in the presence of people, relaxing on the balcony watching birds and squirrels. He’s naturally funny without even trying, generally friendly, and only gets annoyed from time to time as cats do. He does have a few quirks: he occasionally pees or sprays, and he tends to occasionally groan loudly at night, possibly because he isn’t neutered.
