Story
I am Moonbeam a quiet settled guy of 10+ yrs. I tend to lay low during the day and am more active in the evening especially dinner time. I was shy when I first arrived at my foster home which includes 3 other cats from young to older than me. I'm not a huggy kissy guy - ew! but I will come for regular pets and visits, I'm being treated for my thyroid which is not unusual at my age. I take my liquid meds fine with my meal. I'm happy with Fancy Feast Turkey flavors and little dry food too. I'd best in a quiet house, where I can settle in to my routine and not be started by loud noise.. Older kids and other cats are fine as long as they are kind and can give me a bit pf space.

Story
Hello! I have been fostering this incredibly sweet girl, Monk who had been with a family member since 3 months old. She is now 9. They had a rambunctious toddler, a busy schedule, and impending move that forced them to send her to me. My cat of 3 years has always responded positively to strays that appear on our deck. I truly thought taking Monk who is the same sweet nature with other cats and people would be a perfect fit. Unfortunately my cat is being very territorial and we have made little progress towards letting Monk out of her safe room with my cat around. I feel horrible keeping her confined and believe she deserves a home without other cats or small children with people to love and will love her. She is very quiet aside from a few squeaks. Healthy, I have all of her vet records. Her only special need is she has excessive ear wax that no treatment has resolved. She needs a little help wiping her ears and paws sometimes. She will come with lots of litter, food, treats and toys!

Story
Mia is a lovely 4 year old tabby/tortie cat adopted from a shelter. She loves her kitty climbing tower, sitting in the sun, and watching the birds. She need love and attention we do not have the time to give her right now. Willing to rehome her with all her belongings. A good home would be one that is calm with not a lot of noise. She is anxious some of the time and we are trying medication that seems to help. She like to sleep at the end of the bed and will cuddle. We have young children in the house that do not understand they are starting the cat. She does not like children touching her. Please consider dear Mia for your new pet.

Story
Has 28 claws. Adopted from shelter in 2017. Don't know the exact age, but pretty sure she's adult. She's very timid as we have other 2 larger cats. But she can be very close to people when she's the only cat at home.
