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

Story
I adopted Zilly (originally named Godzilla) from my local shelter when she was about 6 months old. She’s now 3 years old and her birthday is sometime in July (i gave her 7/9/22 as a birthday). She’s a mostly chill girl does t cuddle much but like to follow me around stay pretty close. She needs someone to cling to. She likes to play with toys and boxes and bags. I moved with my sister who has a cat but she’s not very fond of other cats so she has phases where she pees outside of the litter box. So her new home should be cat free. I’m stuck with my sister so I can’t keep Zilly anymore. I just want to find her a loving home. She’s used to it just being me and her brother (Koop my pit bull), so maybe a family with no kids would be best for her. I’m happy to provide some of her toys.

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 💛
