Story
Cloud loooooooooooves 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. As you can see he is a very chonky cat. Unfortunately, his mother was diagnosed with early Alzheimers so she tends to over feed 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 and Purina cat chow for indoor cats. Just want him to have a loving home. Preferably with those that are experienced with owning cats. Reactivating his account.

Story
Hello. Thank you for taking the time to read this profile. I am looking for a loving home for my cat Felix. He is 10 years old. My husband of 53 years recently passed away and I have to leave our home. Where I am moving doesn't allow pets. I don't want to take him to a shelter. I really hope you find it in your heart to adopt my precious Felix. He will be truly missed but I hope he is able to bring joy to your life as he has mine.

Story
Gussy came to us as a kitten about 4 or 5 months old. We already had 2 grown females. Everyone made progress getting along until Gussy moved away to college (his boy moved and went along). When they returned, Gussy was bigger than the girls, and they will not accept him, constantly hissing and swatting. This is not Gussy's fault, he wants to play with the girls and gets along beautifully with a neighbor's cat. He deserves a place where he can roam the house and be accepted and have someone to play with, people, dogs, cats, he will play with anyone. He is a wonderful "Velcro" cat hanging out with the people and dogs in our house. He does very well on leash, loves going out for walks on his halter or rides in his backpack, loves children, snuggling, steals food like a dog, and runs to greet all visitors for scratches. I am hoping to find a home with people or animals that he can follow around and love.

Story
Mouse is 3 years old and is a social, playful companion. She is very friendly and great with meeting new people — she tends to curiously follow people around the house. She is young and energetic and loves to dash after toys and a featherstick, but also loves to lounge on the couch or across a lap. She is an indoor-only cat in perfect health — I have taken her to vet checkups for the last couple years. She was originally a foster cat, and I am looking for a new home for her because I will not be able to take her with me when I start as a graduate student in the fall.

Story
Zulu is an awesome cat that minds her business and needs a loving home. I adopted her when she was 8 months old and she has been with me for 4 years. She has traveled the world with me and I will miss her very much. My other cat is very dominant and does not get along with Zulu, despite being together for four years. This is giving Zulu anxiety and leading her to overgroom. This is likely due to the significantly smaller apartment that I live in after returning to the U.S. This is an extremely difficult decision but I do believe it is the right one for her health. Zulu is up to date on all of her vaccines. She has had active pet insurance for her entire time with me and has never gotten seriously ill. E.g. she has only had the typical cat "ate something weird" or hairball issues. She has a patch of very light hair due to the overgrooming. I am throwing in an automatic pet feeder, pet carrier, and her favorite suction cup window hammock to go with her as well.
