Story
He was in a home where owner (my father) has passed away. I cannot take him back to Texas. My cats don’t like other cats. I may have a person but I won’t know until Thursday. He likes to go outside but loves comfort of home and won’t like the cold. He is older -12 yrs. He was with another cat but she passed away a few months ago. He has front claws declawed. He is very friendly and easy going.

He is a friendly, clean, affectionate, playful cat. He is one year old in August, I adopted him from the refugee home, I can't continue with him because my children are getting allergies and I would love for someone else to love him and take care of him properly.

Story
Nearly 10 years ago I rescued Calypso and her (since passed) brother from a garbage bag in the river. Calypso is an extremely shy independent cat. She will come and ask for attention when she wants it and does her own thing the majority of the time. She's happy if you give her scritches when you pass by her while doing your own thing. She loves sitting next to open windows and feeling the breeze. She's never been outside and would not do well as an outdoor cat. She acclimates to new situations very slowly but she is very friendly and happy towards new people once she does. She is overweight but has no health issues as far as any vet can tell. I have marked that she's not good with kids but it's not so much that as she's scared of loud noises and being picked up. She has never hurt anyone however. If I had any other options I would keep her until the end of her days. I love her very very much and I hope to find her a home that will love her and all her quirks like I do.

Story
I have 3 kittens, that were dropped off behind my business last Oct. They were around 6 weeks old. I took them in to my office and planned to care for them until I could find them a good home . I haven't been able to do that and need some help as I'm not able to keep them much longer. I can't take them to my home because of other animals I have. They are the most loving little animals and just want love and attention. I have had the female spayed and the boys are neutered. They are up to date on all shots also. They also great with kids and really everyone who loves animals!

Story
Hi, my name is Granite. I've been with my dad for 5 years. Unfortunately he had to move and now I need a new home. I am good with other cats if you give me the time to know them. But prefer to be the only one. I do not get along well with young children but older ones are fine. I dont know what a dog is as I have never seen one before. An ideal home for me would be with an older human. I am very aloof and prefer to just do my own thing. Also I enjoy a bit of butter spread on my paw before bed every night as a treat to lick off. Dad and I called this game "butterfoot""
