Story
Jeremy is a loving cat, but very picky about when he chooses to be loving. He can be skittish, but when the house is calm, loves snuggles. He loves playing with lasers, cat nip toys, and loves hammocks. He loves laying in the sun and being a lazy bum but he's at least adorable about it. When given cat nip, he does get the zoomies and will roll around. He has just gotten over a UTI and isn't on any ongoing meds but is on specific UTI cat food. We just have him on the OTC food but he would benefit from prescription specific urinary track food as well. He doesn't attack but has been known to hide when the house gets too loud. He doesn't like a lot of house guest ls unless it's a human who's calm and consistently visits.

Story
Milo has been with me since 8 weeks old. He is such a loveable cat. Unfortunately, my health has caused me to seek rehoming for him. Just like now he has been by himself in home for over a month. Because I am hospitalized. My family goes to the house to give him water, food, and change his litter box. This is not fair to Milo. My love for him is to rehome him where he can have his cuddle fun with a rehoming family.

Story
Oni is a wonderful, well-behaved former stray. He quite literally moved into our house on his own - we weren't even leaving food out for him or anything. We've been looking after him for about a year, but our senior cat despises him and shows no signs of coming around. So rather than having two miserable cats, we thought it best to go ahead and rehome Oni. He's litterbox trained and partially harness trained (he's used to the harness, but we haven't tried the leash yet). He's a full-grown adult, but probably under 5 years old going by his playfulness. We haven't seen him with dogs or kids, but he wishes our senior cat would play with him, so I know he'd enjoy a house at least with other cats (who don't hate him). He comes when called and would probably take well to more training. He's very food & play motivated. I'd rather he not be a barn cat, but he'd be great at it - he's a proven mouser. He was TNR-ed, so he's fixed and has had his shots, though I don't know how long ago that was.
