Story
Peter (Peter Skeeter) is hands down the most loving cat I have ever owned. He purrs non stop, loves to play and wants nothing but love. We currently have 2 young kids that Peter is great with. Unfortunately, due to his loving nature, it has become to difficult to have him with a new born in the house as he wants nothing more than to lay on top of the new arrival. As you can imagine, this is a difficult decision. We absolutely love Peter. If you are interested, please know, Peter loves to come and go and would. It be happy in an apartment or a house where he is not allowed outside. PERFECT FAMILY CAT for anyone with out an infant.

Story
Lenny is a lover and very friendly! He's about 4 years old. His favorite is running free outside and he'll voice it to you at the door, so he's best placed in an environment where he can be let out when he wants (he knows to find his way home). He's disciplined and knows what "no" means, although he will voice his opinion. He barely sheds hair other than early Spring and early Fall, which has been great. He's been good with other cats and dogs for the most part, sometimes can be territorial. He's never loved being held unless he's been lonely all day, but loves being pet. He's skiddish and dramatic to loud noises (and young erratic kids) like most cats. He adapts very well to new environments. As the owner, I grew up on a farm with cats all my life. Lenny is by far my favorite of all time and it pains me writing this to let him go. I am moving out of state and he's not allowed at my condo complex. Because of how much love I have for him, I'll be taking care in finding the right match.

Story
Hi, my name is Polka. I am a local surrender. From the foster: Polka has a lot of kitten energy. She's a bit shy at first but once she comes out of her shell she is curios and playful. She takes a lot of naps during the day and loves to play in the evening. She shows affection by gentle nibbles and licks and rubs. During her naps she does enjoy cuddling and really enjoys being pet.

Story
Hello! I am Charlie. I am a shy but curious gray tabby looking for my new best friends. I have been at my foster home for a week and have already warmed up to my hosts quite a bit. I am still spooked by sudden movements and noises that send me running under the bed or stop me in my tracks, but you can easily lure me out if you speak my love languages: Churus and play. You can warm up to me with any wand or string toy. While I'm still getting to know you, I prefer toys that keep you at arm' length. I love toys on strings with feathers. I also love soft fuzzy toys that I can bat around on my own while you are busy. During the day I mostly like to nap and would love a quiet, dark place where I can rest, restore my energy and work up the courage to come out and play again in the early evening. I will let you know if I am bored, lonely or hungry with a sweet chirp to get your attention. It takes a while for me to get used to people, but once I have built my trust in you, I turn on my purrs as soon as your hand makes contact with my little head. Over time, if you are patient, I will lie down with you and nuzzle up with you. I love head pets, ear scratches and, if you are really lucky, I will roll around and encourage you to pet my soft, tiny belly. I am an absolute champion at using my litter box and even do a great job of burying my messes. I am not food obsessed, but I am curious about what you are eating, so proceed with caution if you don't want to share! I am very interested in being friends with the old man cat who lives here; unfortunately he doesn't like me very much yet. I would likely love to be friends with a young cat who is friendly and has the energy to play with me. Currently I don't like to be picked up very much, but over time I think I could warm up to sitting on your lap. I get spooked easily by things like standing up or sitting down, but am showing improvement and becoming braver every day. I am a bit of a night owl so I'm not currently looking for someone to cuddle up with at night, but I can play very quietly by myself! I am very interested in and curious about everything and will leave no surface unturned. I am a talented escape artist so take extra caution with doors and blocking off restricted areas as I get to know you and your home. Please get in touch with my foster parents if you would be interested in a play date!

Story
Adorable kitty in need of new home ASAP Hello everyone! We recently decided to foster a stray kitty and are looking to find him a loving home as soon as possible. Our neighbor found him cold and hungry roaming Uptown, but he seems to have been previously owned… He is a healthy, very affectionate, and playful male tabby. He is neutered and the vet estimates he’s anywhere from 2-4 years old. No owner has come forward and he is not chipped. He definitely needs to go to a home without cats. We are unable to care for him much longer, and are hoping someone can take him ASAP.

Story
Prince Frederick is a regal boy who loves to play! He is a sassy cat who wants to cuddle and know what you are up to. I've had him for over 10 years, and he is an awesome cat. He is interested in new people, he doesn't meow too much, and he never has litter box issues. He is declawed. He's between 10-13 years old, and the vet said he is in excellent health. Fred is a happy boy as long as his opinions are respected. He can get overstimulated and bite, but he really only does this to me. I don't know if this would be an issue with a new owner. I am rehoming him because my dog makes him miserable, and he doesn't like my boyfriend's cat. He needs to be in a cat free home. He would be fine with an uninterested dog. He's fine around little kids, but he shouldn't live with them as he is a regal boy and doesn't like it when they grab him. I'm so sad to have to rehome him, but he has a lot of good years ahead of him and deserves a home he'll be happy in!
