Story
He is 1 year old and is nice and lets you pet and carry him but he can be a little feisty around other cats. He is fully vaccinated and is up to date with everything. We tried keeping him after a neighbor was giving him away due to them moving and were not able to take him. Unfortunately, he does not get along with my other cats and he starts fighting them. We been having him for 2 months trying to get them to coexist but he still does not appear to get along. I believe he would fit better in a home with no other pets . Unless someone is more knowledgeable on how to get him to play nice with other cats.

Story
I’ve had this sweet girl since I was 12, so she’s been part of my life for a long time.She will be 14 in 2026. She’s always been incredibly affectionate the kind of cat who senses when you’re feeling down and will curl up on your chest or sit beside you until you feel better. She loves being close to her person and will happily cuddle for hours. She’s also very food-motivated, playful in little bursts, and has a gentle, calm personality that makes her easy to love. I’m looking for a home where she will be cherished as much as she has been with me someone who appreciates a cuddly, people-oriented cat and can give her the attention, warmth, and stability she thrives on. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who brings comfort and sweetness into the home, she’s truly that kind of cat. Adjectives that describe her best: affectionate, gentle, cuddly, loyal, food-loving, comforting, and easygoing.

Story
Nala is a beautiful, intelligent 2-year-old cat who forms a deep bond with her person. She is spayed and up to date on vaccines, including her 3-year rabies and FVRCP. Nala thrives on routine and loves calm, quiet spaces. Every morning she jumps on the bed for forehead kisses and watches me leave for work. She enjoys lounging beside you, bathing near you on her pillow, and responds sweetly to her name and your voice. She is affectionate yet independent, enjoying love on her terms, and does wonderfully during nail trims. I am undergoing cancer treatment with a major upcoming surgery that will limit my ability to care for her during recovery. This decision is purely medical and made out of love. Nala would do best as someone’s one and only in a stable, patient home where she will be deeply cherished.

Story
Marshmallow was my first baby. However I have recently become a triplet mom and now it is just a bit too much for me to manage him with the new additions. I got him from a coworkers litter. Very chill and independent. But loves attention. Also does well as an indoor and outdoor cat.

Story
This sweet, cuddly, silly, and "Sassy Man" is looking for a home of his own with no other pets or kids. He's a shy guy with anxiety who would love a pet parent(s) who can relate, and show him patience. He grows more confident every day and has become a lap cat during movie or reading time. He lets me give him kisses now and is getting comfortable with getting picked up. This obviously former house cat arrived at my door in Nov 2023. He was emaciated and wasn't going to make it. I started feeding him, fell in love with him, and brought him inside. Sassafras had perineal urethrostomy surgery in Dec 2024 after a bad feline lower urinary tract disease episode. That, a urinary tract diet, and being separated from my other cats, has resolved his issues. I have 3 cats and he is bullied by one of them. Yes, I've "tried it all" and nothing has worked. For his health, I keep him separated, but it breaks my heart and I know he misses sleeping on my bed and being out and about in the house.
