Story
Ramona (and her sister Beezus) came to us at kittens and have been the most loyal and kind companions to our family of 4. We have two young daughter and they have never scratched or bite anyone ever. Ramona is prone to stress, so she receives a small pill of fluoxetine daily, which is inexpensive and she takes easily. This prevents a skin rash and peeing outside the litter box. We’ve never had an issue with either of these things once she went on the medication. We have to surrender the cats because we recently got a puppy and they despise him and hiss and attack him often. It’s just not working out. We are heartbroken that we have to give them up, but we are not willing to give up our pup.

Story
Beezus is named after the sister of Ramona from the Ramona Quincy children's book series. She and her sister, Ramona, came to our family of 4 as kittens. I have two young daughters and the cats have been nothing but loving and cuddly to our family. It pains us to let them go, but we recently got a puppy and they cannot stand him. They hiss and attack him constantly. It's not working out. Beezus takes a little more time to warm up, but she loves being brushed and chasing the red dot of the laser pointer. She has never bit or scratched anyone since we've owned them. We'd like to keep them together, but she can be adopted without her sister.

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

Story
Little Bear Cub is the largest of the litter and is the gentle giant; very sweet, a bit reserved/timid and quite soft with his nails and teeth. He loves attention but you generally need to go to him but he is starting to come out of his shell and seeks attention with a cute little bum shake! He loves to play and snuggling in with me to sleep. He is the last kitten that needs to be homed and my preference is that mama and bear cub go together. Mama (Noiree) was a stray that gave birth on my porch. Due to environmental hazards - I am not able to keep her long term as she is definitely an inside / outside cat and will thrive the best in that situation. A home with a good sized yard - in a residential neighborhood would be the most ideal. Please see separate profile on Noiree. Mama and bear cub are close and will make great company for each other. Preference is for them to be adopted together but if you have interest in one or the other, please also reach out.
