Story
Andy’s owner developed dementia snd was brought to California to live in a facility while Andy was left behind. Andy has been in foster for almost one year. He has been adopted out three times and each time he has been returned. He is at least 11 years old. Due to his dental and kidney health the vet thinks he could be older. We don’t know for sure how old he is. He needs dental work done and a wet food diet to help his kidney health. He has a problem using the litter box. Anyone interested in adopting Andy should have experience with senior front paw declawed cats. He is a lover. By that I mean he wants to be on your lap all the time. Someone who is retired or works from home would be best. He gets along with some cats. He gets along with low energy dogs. Andy was an only pet in his old home. It is not a requirement for his new home, but he would probably prefer it. If you think you can give Andy the care that he needs, please reach out. He will repay you with all the love he has.

Story
Fluffy is a lovable, 7 year old, fully declawed, large male cat. We have 3 young girls and he has always been really good with them and they love him so much. He is so sweet and a VERY chill cat and spends most of his day sleeping near me in the living room while I work from home. It breaks my heart to have to get rid of him, but we just can't have him in our home anymore. My husband has allergies, and in general doesn't like him, so Fluffy has never been allowed to sleep in our room, which seems to cause Fluffy anxiety. In the last couple years, he's had some issues with accidents outside the litter box at night when we shut him out which has fueled my husband's dislike for Fluffy and causes so much tension in our household that we just can't do it anymore, which I know Fluffy senses too. The accidents are infrequent (sometimes not for months at a time) and I truly believe that it wouldn't be an issue anymore if he finds someone who is home a lot and won't shut him out at night.

Story
Was a rescued kitten gifted to us as a surprise for Christmas. We have loved him and cared for him excellently for 3 years( he’s 3). Our sister in law helps rescues and re homes them. I am highly allergic and have been getting regular allergy injections for 3 years. It is not helping. He is a very loving cat, in-door, with no other cats or dogs in our home. Dogs visit here and he just hides until they leave. Litter box trained. Very friendly.

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I adopted Lucy about 6 years ago, making her around 8 or 9 years old, from an adoption agency and she got along with my other cats just fine for about 2 or 3 years. I came home one day top her hiding and displaying fearful behavior and ever since, she's been extremely fearful of the other cats. She mostly just hisses and hides from them though, and is not an aggressive cat by any means. Lucy is a very sweet, loving cat and she LOVES having her butt scratched (though she will let you know when enough is enough.) She's been really good with kids and has more or less gotten along with other cats that mind their own business, though I believe she would be happier in a single cat home. She currently does need a high walled litter box, which I can provide, due to the stress giving her stomach issues. The only other health issue she has is teeth related and she has had teeth removed, but her latest checkup had gone well.

Tiffy was dropped off somewhere on our road and made it to our house. We’ve had her since she was just a very small kitten. She has tons of energy and is very playful. She is also sweet and will lay in your lap. Of all our cats, she is our most “no nonsense” cat. She is very low maintenance, easy to please, and easy to get along with. We hope to find her a good home soon.

Story
Monroe is a sweet and loving 10 year old cat in need of a new home. We adopted her from the Humane society as a kitten. She is low maintenance, good around kids, and loves to hunt outdoors. She is very loyal and loves to be around the family. Unfortunately, a combination of alllergies and our dog, are the reasons we need to re-home her. Not confident on the breed of cat but she is healthy and up to date on shots.

Story
I have 2 all black cats from the same litter, born on July 20, 2023.. not even a year old yet. They’re loving and have never been separated. We got them from my brother whose cat had a litter. Both are fixed and healthy. I’d love if someone could adopt them and give them a loving home before we have to move and be forced to give them to the pound. The male is all black and the female has a white patch on her chest. The male is a cuddler and loves being playful. The female is smaller and she is very attached to her brother, she loves a good head rub and treats. We have kids and they are very playful with them. Please if anyone is able to take them in lmk. Thanks!
