Story
We adopted Maude from PAWS Wakefield in early 2019. The Shelter estimated she was still under a year old then, which would make her around 6 years old now. Maude needs a stable and quiet home with no young children or other pets. She is very sweet and affectionate with adults, but as our young son is getting older, louder, and more mobile, our tiny city apartment is not the right place for her any longer. She is up to date with all shots, and is checked yearly with our vet. She is an indoor cat strictly, and is spade. It breaks our hearts to rehome her, but as our family expands and grows we realize she needs a better permanent situation.

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
Val is about 3 years old. I adopted her from The Humane Society in New Mexico. She has the most adorable meow. It's not what you would expect to come out of such a sweet little cat. She does not like to be picked up or held but she will sit in your lap if you are watching a movie and will lay ontop you while you sleep. She loves to sit in a window and watch the world go by. She seeks out the sun for a place to nap and also loves the warmth from the fireplace. She will entertain herself if you're too busy to play as she loves to chase her tail. She likes to follow me from room to room as she prefers to not be alone. She does get along with other cats but it takes a while. Most of her life she's lived with another cat but she's been able to rule the house on her own since February when her sister moved out with my son. I'll be traveling most of June and July and preparing to move in August. I feel it is too much to put her through to move across the country again.

Story
I got Juno from a friend who had a litter of kittens and was giving them away. She is a little over two years old, not sure of her exact birthday. She loves people and being around them. She will follow you around and get to know your daily habits, including when you're supposed to wake up (she'll gently paw your nose). She is used to living with just one person in a small home, but has also stayed with many people in a bigger home when I visited family with her. I have flown and driven with her a few times and she's very good about it. She is initially cautious around new people, but is eager to warm up to them. She might've had a poor experience with children when she was a kitten because I notice she is more cautious around young kids. She would do best with a smaller household and someone who will give her regular attention because she is very affectionate and attached to her owner.

Story
This is Hiccup. He's almost 2 years old (I pretend his birthday is May 1st). I got him as a kitten and he really helped ease my anxiety with graduate school. He loves being around people, and he actually has some separation anxiety when left alone for periods of time. That's the reason I'm choosing to re-home him. I love him endlessly, but I work in-person 5 days a week and I know I'm not giving him the time and attention he deserves. He really is the sweetest, dorkiest thing. His favorite toys are pom poms and pipe cleaners. He behaves more like a dog than a cat. He comes when I call his name and races to the door when I get home to greet me with some meows and cuddles. I'm looking for families/people who work from home to help him with his anxiety. He will come with all his toys, a cat tree, scratching post, litter box, and automatic feeder. All free to a good home. Hiccup loves his person, and I'm sure he will give his next person as much comfort, laughs, and love as he did me.

I inherited my pet from my grandmother who passed away. I’ve since had a child and cannot keep up with the care needed for this pet and she has begun to develop signs of allergies to the cat.
