Story
6 years old. Cloud loves attention and pets. He also loves butt spanks and pats. Anytime he sees a hand, he just wants to be petted. He is a very affectionate cat but also very vocal and chatty. He enjoys laser toys, watching birds, squirrels, and laying on designated areas in the home. He is a very chonky cat. Unfortunately, his mother was diagnosed with early Alzheimers so she tends to overfeed at times. I believe that he needs a loving home that is able to give him the attention and care that he deserves. I can't find any of his paper work at his home but he is fixed. He is playful with other cats and sociable. Eats Friskies wet food seafood and chicken variety. Purina cat chow for indoor cats. Prefer those who are experienced with owning cats.UPDATE: the urgency to rehome has increased. His mother can no longer care for him and has progressed to severe dementia and needing 24/7 support at a facility & can't be home. Reactivating his account again, hoping for a chance.

Story
Missy is the sweetest girl. She loves head bunting, head pets, brushing, and laser toys. She was raised as an indoor cat only but loves window watching and talking to birds. She is talkative but won't wake you.She is mainly independent but I've noticed she'll follow you and give you attention when she is ready. She'll lay on your chest and give the most therapeutic purrs. Unfortunately due to the living circumstances with an elderly mother with early Alzheimers I believe she needs a lot more care than she's getting now. I have not been able to find any paperwork for her in her home but she is fixed. Eats Friskies wet food seafood and chicken variety and Purina cat chow for indoor cats. Just want a loving home with someone experienced with cats. UPDATE: the urgency to rehome has increased. Her mother can no longer care for her and has progressed to severe dementia and needing 24/7 support at a facility& can't be home. Reactivating account, Just hoping for a chance. Atleast 10 years old

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Madame Peanut is a 6 year old large sassy lady, but she is very affectionate to people, even to strangers. She loves attention and cheek scratches. She also likes relaxing on the couch, lounging at the top of the stairs so she can watch from above, or watching and smelling from her window. When her humans are home, she tries to stay near you at all times, unless she is too tired. She is a bit overweight but she has been working on losing weight steadily with a regular feeding schedule and plenty of toys to play with. She especially likes feather wands. She is also quite vocal with honks and chirps when she misses her people. Peanut is rather territorial, so she might need to be the only cat in the home. It is unknown how she does with other animals and unknown how she does with children, but every human she has met so far, she instantly warmed up to.

Story
Oscar – Energetic, Vocal, Playful Orange Tabby Oscar survived a rough start. He was abandoned by my last tenant who left him outside. And there he had some brawls with street cats & got sick & hurt. He showed up on at our door on the edge of death. After a mini surgery, antibiotics & weeks of care, Oscar is healthy, active, and very affectionate. He’s playful, chatty, curious, and wants to be part of everything you’re doing. He’s litter-trained, and ready for a home that loves orange tabby personalities. He's pretty goofy & I'd say he has that orange tabby personality for sure. He's about 2 we estimate & needs to be neutered. But, we have finished getting him back up to health & hope someone who is adopting him can take him to be neutered once he is adopted.

Story
Mochi is a sweet, 5-year-old cat who’s been with us since she was a kitten. She’s gentle, affectionate, and loves attention — meowing for pets and doing little flips once she feels safe. Head and chin scratches are her favorite, though she’s sensitive about certain spots. After her bonded brother passed away, life in a multi-cat home became stressful for her. She’s since developed anxiety around other cats, leading to litter box issues and stress-related urinary problems. In a calm, cat-free home, she does wonderfully — her health and habits stay stable as long as her litter box is cleaned daily. has quirky bent tail from an old injury — it doesn’t hurt her, and it’s become one of her cutest features. When you pet her, she’ll happily swish and bump you with it, like a tiny ankylosaurus showing affection. She needs a patient, experienced, cat-free home where she can relax and thrive. With love, she’ll be a loyal, affectionate companion 💛
