Story
Bonded pair, brother and sister, together since birth. Share litter box, food and water bowls. Very affectionate. Can leave them for long days because they play and keep one another company. Am moving to place that doesn’t allow pets. Hate to give them up! Curl up with me all the time and sleep with me. Very social.

Story
Meet Carol– Your New Best Friend! Looking for a loving companion who will brighten up your home? Look no further than Carol, a sweet and gentle 1 year old-year with a heart full of love! Hazel is more than ready to find her forever home and can't wait to become part of your family. Carol is a friendly cat who loves to explore and be with her "people".She enjoys spending her time lounging in sunny spots, and getting lots of attention from her humans. She prefers to be with you (once she gets comfortable with you). and likes to chat with you to express what she wants (usually more pats) . Carol is pretty smart and will respond to you if you call for her as she knows that means she will probably get some love. Carol is a skinny girl, most likely from her prior life of being a breeding cat. The last of her beautiful kittens have been adopted and now it is her time to find her forever happiness. Carol is slightly shy at first but it really doesn't take her too long to warm up and once she does, you will fall in love like I did (her foster mom). Help Carol find her new home!!

Story
This little munchkin was born on May 5th 2023 to a barn cat in western Massachusetts. She’s been very difficult to litter train. She loves climbing walls and scratching anything she can get her paws on. And she loves to sneak attack. Watch your feet when in bed. She really needs to be outside. We are not allowed to let her outside at all where we are and it’s just not fair to her. She’s very loving and loyal to a fault sometimes. I just don’t have the time or funds to keep her.
