Story
He was found in a box in West Palm Beach. We took him in and have loved him for over 12 years. He loves affection and especially loves to cuddle. Has a big personality. Unfortunately, I have to take a new job that will have me traveling a lot, forcing me to leave him home a lot too and I feel that it is not best for him. I would love to find him a loving home for his older years.

Story
Are you an introvert? Love reading books or watching a movie with a cuddle buddy on your lap? If so, this is your guy! Sassafras Swirl is an introvert too. He arrived at my door in November 2023. He was emaciated and wasn't going to make it. I started feeding him, fell in love with him, and brought him inside. He was clearly a former housecat. Sassafras had a PU (perineal urethrostomy) surgery in December 2024. That, along with a prescription diet and being separated from my other cats, seems to have fully resolved his FLUTD (feline lower urinary tract disease) issues. I have 3 cats and he is bullied by one of them. I've "tried it all" and there is no resolving it. For his health, I keep him separated, but it breaks my heart. He would love a home of his own with no other pets or kids. He has made huge strides in the past year! He's a shy, low energy guy, with anxiety who would love a pet parent who can relate, and give him time and space to come out of his shell even more.

Story
Meet Junie B. Jones (aka Junie) a one-year-old kitty who was a street cat until three weeks ago. I found Junie outside my school (Garfield Elementary) where she was incredibly lethargic and trying to get inside and it was clear right away that she deserved a vet visit and chance at a safe, loving home. I brought her to the vet, got her spayed 4/8 where she also received all her necessary vaccines. I have kept her as she has been recovering and getting comfortable indoors. I truly wish I could keep her, but unfortunately, my allergies make it impossible long-term. In the meantime, she has really started to get more comfortable and is definitely a presence. She is playful, curious, smart, sassy, and has become more cuddly and full of affection each day as she gets more comfortable and confident and trusting. I have plenty of supplies and accessories that I will give to the new family with her! (Food, litter box, scratching post, bed, toys, carrier, collar).
