Story
My name is Beau and I'm a handsome 9 yr old male. Sadly my owners are moving and my dad is getting more allergic to me, so they feel it's best not to take me to the new home. I'm a friendly guy but I'm going to be scared losing the safety of my home after all these years. I need someone that understands once I get comfortable, I'm going to be the wonderful character of a guy that I normally am. I love laying in laps (or anything soft). I'm vocal when I want my food and you're not getting it fast enough for me or ignoring that I'm looking for pets and attention. I'm laid back most of the day and like perching up high, under beds, or on the window sill. I did live some of my life with dogs so if a dog is cat-friendly and you introduce me correctly, I should do fine. I'm fine around kids but prefer them when they are bigger than toddlers because they are easier to cuddle with than someone that wants to be on the run every minute, but have never been around other cats. I can't believe this is happening to me and hope that someone will open their home and heart to this 9 yr old heart-broken soul.

Story
Hi! We're Olivia and Penny. We are a couple of affectionate gal pals who have been raising our kittens together. Now that our work of co-parenting is complete, we are ready to settle into a nice home together and start the next chapter of our lives: being the best pair of house cats you can imagine. A bit about us: Olivia, stunning 2 year old calico with beautiful golden green eyes. Loves sitting aloft in my cat tree, paper bags, laser pointers, and head scritches. Penny, a mustachioed glamor 1 year old tuxedo. Loves a fresh breeze and bird watching, wand toys, cardboard boxes, and purring as loud as possible. We both love to be pet, to sit on your lap, and are comfortable being held. We are good with kids, but Olivia can occasionally get overstimulated from too much petting so any young humans will need to learn how to take it slow and recognize her cues that she needs a break. If you have room in your heart and home for 2 dedicated, loving companions, you couldn't do any better than us. (The adoption fee is for both of us)

Story
After my cat gave birth to a litter of kittens, Nova being one of them, is a short haired, female, indoor kitten who is now eight weeks old and full of joy and a burst of energy. With this adoption I am looking forward to a new devoted, compassionate guardian, who gives unconditional love, patience and acceptance, to make sure that the best physical and emotional wellbeing of Nova is met, wholeheartedly.

Story
She is a 5-year-old cat who has been with me through several life changes and moves over the past few years. She is affectionate in her own way and enjoys being around people, often sitting nearby while I work or relax. I would describe her as curious, gentle, playful, and sometimes attention-seeking. I am looking for a stable and caring home where she can have more interaction, routine, and engagement, and where her personality and needs can continue to thrive. To help make the transition easier, I would also be happy to continue her pet (Lemonade) insurance for the first 2 months and provide her supplies to help her settle into a new home. I hope this can serve as compensation for the adoption fee.

Story
Gizmo is about to turn 2 years old on August 7. I adopted him from the mspca as a 12 week old kitten shortly after I graduated college. The last cats he was around were his roughly 6 litter mates who he got along well with. He is the first cat I have ever had (my family had dogs growing up) so to be honest I was kind of learning as I went with him. I just made sure to give him plenty of attention and love. As he has grown, I have gotten a busier work schedule, and have found it difficult to give him the regular attention and play that he loves. I ultimately made the decision to find a new home for him due to my plans to move to New York, where I anticipate having even less time to spend with him, and being on a tighter budget.He has been on a plane and moved apartments once already with me, and so far seems to be very resilient with change and new experiences. I am looking for someone who will have time to play with him, and who has experience owning cats.
