Story
Dear Animal Lovers, We are sadly seeking a new loving home for our cherished companions, Morgan and Wyatt. Morgan and Wyatt are a delightful pair of brother and sister cats who have been a beloved part of our family for the past five years. Unfortunately, our children have recently developed allergies, and as much as it pains us, we must find a new home where Morgan and Wyatt can thrive without causing discomfort to our loved ones. Morgan and Wyatt are not just pets; they are family members who bring joy and warmth to our home every day. They share an inseparable bond, always found playfully chasing each other around and cuddling up together for naps. Their favorite pastime is lounging by a window, watching the world go by and chirping at the birds outside. We are committed to finding Morgan and Wyatt a new home where they will be cherished and cared for just as they have been with us. They are both spayed/neutered, litter-box trained, and up-to-date on all vaccinations.

Got him from a friend who rescued him as a kitten from the woods. He is spayed. Very gentle and quiet. I have 2 cats and i find it difficult caring for 2 because of the expenses and lack to time to cate for them.

Story
Little One has been with me since she was about a year old, she's 7 now. She's a sweetheart who loves to play and snuggle. She was declawed by her first owner, so she absolutely needs to be an inside cat but she can't destroy your furniture or hurt small children. She would be happiest in a home with more than one person, she's very sociable. She loves watching birds and squirrels through the window. I'm only rehoming because where I live she has to stay in my bedroom and she's going stir crazy.

Miranda is a loving, smart, and inquisitive cat. She loves exploring boxes, playing the piano, and napping near her humans. She is playful and very patient with children. She would make a wonderful addition to any home where she could be the only cat.

Story
Hi! I’m Major, I was adopted from a small shelter a little over 12 years ago. I am a very calm, easygoing, and sweet kitty who likes to lay around and nap all day. My favorite things are cat nip and wet cat food. Occasionally I like to run around at night for a little exercise. I love to cuddle and share kisses. I am very smart and will greet you whenever you come home. I am not neutered. I cry when I urinate in my litter box sometimes. I have ongoing urination issues so I sometimes urinate outside of the litter box. I have very long nails that need to be cut and a few big mats in my fur from my owner not taking care of me. My 1-year rabies shot recently expired. My owner is very busy and cannot afford me anymore.

Story
In bustling Boston, I met Sammy at an animal shelter when she was just 8 months old. Now at 4, she's seeking a new, serene home, ideally without other pets and in a single-person household. Sammy's dual nature is unique: she shows a standoffish attitude towards strangers and dislikes other animals. However, when alone with her human, she transforms into an affectionate companion, craving attention and closeness. Describing Sammy, words like independent, aloof, yet incredibly needy and loving come to mind. Her story underscores the special, deep bond pets share with their humans, thriving best in a peaceful, undivided environment.
