Story
We adopted Mistletoe from a pet foster home and he has been with us since January this year. He is such an adorable, playful, affectionate, happy and cuddly little cat. It’s unfortunate that one of our family members turned out to be cat allergic. That’s the only reason why we are trying to find him a forever home for him. You won’t regret adopting this sweet cat and he can’t wait to meet you too.

Leo is a very fun and loving cat. He is energetic and clingy. He would love to roam around in a huge house but he doesn’t mind something small.

Story
Ramona (and her sister Beezus) came to us at kittens and have been the most loyal and kind companions to our family of 4. We have two young daughter and they have never scratched or bite anyone ever. Ramona is prone to stress, so she receives a small pill of fluoxetine daily, which is inexpensive and she takes easily. This prevents a skin rash and peeing outside the litter box. We’ve never had an issue with either of these things once she went on the medication. We have to surrender the cats because we recently got a puppy and they despise him and hiss and attack him often. It’s just not working out. We are heartbroken that we have to give them up, but we are not willing to give up our pup.

Story
Beezus is named after the sister of Ramona from the Ramona Quincy children's book series. She and her sister, Ramona, came to our family of 4 as kittens. I have two young daughters and the cats have been nothing but loving and cuddly to our family. It pains us to let them go, but we recently got a puppy and they cannot stand him. They hiss and attack him constantly. It's not working out. Beezus takes a little more time to warm up, but she loves being brushed and chasing the red dot of the laser pointer. She has never bit or scratched anyone since we've owned them. We'd like to keep them together, but she can be adopted without her sister.

Story
Mystery is a 12 year old, sweet sweet kitty. He knows how to shake your hand! We adopted him as a kitten on Halloween from the Montgomery County Animal shelter and have loved him all these years. He was declawed as a kitten (front claws) and is neutered. He loves both in and outdoors, eats dry kibble only and is litter box trained. All his shots and records are up to date. He is microchipped. We are relocating and unable to take him with us. We would be grateful for him to have a loving home like the one he has grown up in. You will love Mystery! We do!
