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.

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
Goldaline has been visiting us for months, eventually he decided he wanted to come inside and become part of the family. Unfortunately, he does not get along with our existing cat Cecilia. He is very loving with a loud purr and big personality. We suspect he has single kitten syndrome because of his behavioral issues, he will need a kind and experienced new owner.

Story
This is Benji, and he needs your help This baby was left behind by a family that did not want to care for him. When he first arrived, he was scared, traumatized and confused. Benji has been in our care for about two month, and we have taken the time to help him get out of his shell. He is still very scared of humans, often threatened by touch or movement. We are hoping someone with experience, love, tenderness and patience can take him and help him. We have come to love Benji, and you will see that underneath his rough surface is a boy who desires love and affection. We have a cat and he seems very curious about him, so we think he might do well with other cats with proper introduction. Children and loud noises scare him. But with proper introduction we know he will blossom in any home. Benji is waiting for you, and he can’t wait to meet you ❤️

Details
Good with kids, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Liam is a very affectionate, sweet and well behaved 4.5 year old. He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. Liam loves to snuggle and come up for nose kisses and scratches behind the ears or his tummy. He's a little shy at first but takes to new people quickly. Liam purrs continuously with his humans and communicates volumes with his expressive eyes and little meows. Very well behaved and eager to please - no litterbox or behavior issues. Liam’s just a gentle soul and a really great cat. He was adopted from a shelter at 4 mo old. His overall health is good, however Liam was diagnosed with IBS and requires prescription food, and during an occasional IBS flares up a day or two of inexpensive prescription oral steroids (no diarrhea with his IBS). I hate to give Liam up, but my significant other is highly allergic so we can’t give him the attention he deserves. Liam needs a new home that will love and treasure him.
