Story
Boo is a sweet almost 1.5yrs old and super playful loves to be loved but needs a home that is able to keep up with her needs and multiple litter boxes. Boo has a peeing issues with large piles of anything unfortunately but she is litter boxed trained. She is still super small and loves to be held on your shoulder. I don't think she is going to be much bigger than what she is now. She is up to date with all her shots and spayed. Boo is also good with other cats just maybe not this one even though they do show each other love but she wants to get their attention regardless.

Story
Meet a truly one-of-a-kind kitty who's guaranteed to steal your heart. ❤️She is incredibly loving and affectionate, always ready for cuddles, playtime, or simply following you around like your little shadow. She also enjoys having her own quiet time, making her the perfect balance of playful and independent.She has a special way of sensing emotions and is incredibly in tune with the people around her. I truly believe she could make a wonderful therapeutic or emotional support companion.If I were able to keep her, I absolutely would. This decision has not been easy. My only wish is to find her a forever home where she will be deeply loved, spoiled, and receive all the attention she deserves.If you think you could give this sweet girl the loving home she's been waiting for, please reach out. Thank you for helping me find the perfect family for her. 🩷

Story
Luffy is almost 2 years old. He has been with us for a year and a half. He is very snuggly and very sweet and likes to sit on your lap. Only recently has he been stressed and anxious, as he's been bullied by a couple of the other cats. The bullying seems to only get worse, which in turn makes Luffy scared to come out of his corner or even play. He does get along with cats and is a very sweet boy. But the bullying has been going on for months. He is otherwise healthy, up to date on all shots and is neutered.

Story
My cat diego has been with me for about six years. I have been his sole provider and recently he was diagnosed with a heart failure, meaning he requires medication for the rest of his life daily. He is a very shy cat and super kind. He always was only attached to me and was scared of most people but is a sweetheart. I’m starting college again soon and won’t be able to provide him the care he needs, unfortunately no one in my family can care for him either. It saddens me but i’m hoping to find him a loving him with someone that can care for him the way he deserves unfortunately I am not able to anymore nor can afford it. Please if you have any interest in my baby, reach out!

Story
May May does not get along with other cats and would be better off as the only pet in the home. She is somewhere between 6 and 7 years old and very affectionate, but only on her terms. She does not like being carried or held, or having her nails trimmed. She is overweight (work in progress), and needs some dental work, but otherwise healthy.

Story
Winnie is a very sweet girl! She is somewhere between 6 and 7 years old, spayed, and fairly quiet. She loves to be petted and will even pat your shoulder if you do not immediately give her the attention she wants. She does not like to be held, but will occasionally climb into your lap for attention. She is overweight (work in progress with the vet), but otherwise healthy. She would be better as the only pet in the home, because she was not socialized properly.
