Story
Sylvia was surrendered when her owner went into a nursing home and the family couldn't keep her. She's a senior cat and, common in older cats, Sylvia has mild chronic kidney disease (CKD). She also takes anti anxiety medication daily, mixed in with her food. You wouldn't know she's a senior cat though from the energy with which she plays with toys. She will seek you out for play time, pets, and to get brushed. She'll tell you when you stopped brushing her too soon. We're looking for an experienced adopter. She will need time and patience for her to get comfortable with you before you can see her sweet and playful side.

Story
I acquired my 6 y.o cat Sylvester from the MSPCA. I am looking for a home with either a CATIO or a yard where he can explore safely without being hurt. The poor boy has been living in a small, cramped apartment in the city and he is miserable and bored. He is so stressed he has been pulling out his fur around his legs. He constantly meows at the door to go out, but I can't let him out because it's not safe. He is a very smart boy. He knows how to open and close doors. He is funny, friendly, he greets everyone that enters the home and always rubs his face on anything and everything he always has to know what you are doing and tries to help. He will come running everytime he hears the sound of that deli bag and if you want to get his. attention just shake a bag of Temptation treats and he will come running.

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
Bruce is an 11 year old affectionate chunk! His favorite activities are cuddling, eating, sleeping, and the occasional friskies. He seems to bond better with female owners, but does open to other people that he gets a good sense about. He is relaxed and doesn’t get into plants or glassware, but does like to be played with sometimes.
