Story
My wife Sarah and I are looking for a home for our two elderly cats Bennie and Bella. They are brother and sister from the same litter. We adopted them as kittens to keep our dog at the time Gulliver company while we were at work all day. It’s 19 years later now and they are a couple of happy old yet sickly cats. We are preparing to move out of the area in a couple months and we cannot take them with us as we will be on the road traveling. This is no place for two elderly cats that require meds morning and night and have a rough time at home let along in a moving vehicle for hours on end. Needless to say we need to say good to them and we are doing all we can to find a good home where they can live out the days they have left in peace.

Story
This sweet, silly, and "Sassy Man" is looking for a home of his own with no other pets or kids. He's a shy guy with anxiety who would love a pet parent(s) who can relate, and show him patience. He's made HUGE strides, and I know as an only pet he would blossom! He lets me give him kisses now and is close to being OK with getting picked up. This obviously former house cat arrived at my door in Nov 2023. He was emaciated and wasn't going to make it. I started feeding him, fell in love with him, and brought him inside. Sassafras had perineal urethrostomy surgery in Dec 2024 after a bad feline lower urinary tract disease episode. That, a urinary tract diet, and being separated from my other cats, has resolved his issues. I have 3 cats and he is bullied by one of them. Yes, I've "tried it all" and nothing has worked. For his health, I keep him separated, but it breaks my heart and I know he misses sleeping on my bed and being out and about in the house.

Story
Jin is a sweet, shy American short hair tuxedo cat. She is 13 and up to date on her shots with no health issues. She’s lived entirely as an indoor cat though may have stalked a bird or two from her apartment balcony. Jin was loved very much by her previous owner who adopted her from a shelter as a kitten. But Jin’s previous owner can no longer care for Jin due to illness. We are hoping to find a new home and person to love Jin in her later years.

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Maeby is a big girl with lots of love to share! Maeby is about a year and a half, and still has a bit of kitten energy. She likes to play with her toys, and will even throw the small ones in the air then chase after them. Ideally, Maeby needs to be the only pet in the house. She is an alpha when faced with other cats. She has yet to be around dogs. Maeby can be found lounging in the window in her hammock, perched on her cat tree, or laying in any patch of sunshine. She loves attention- but only when she wants it! Maeby will frequently cuddle at night, and she'll sit at the foot of the bed, or on your back, and will purr her heart out. Maeby is up to date on all of her vaccines.
