Story
I adopted Madden from the Woodbury Humane Society in 2015. She is turning 9 this month. She is a beautiful and amazing cat who loves to nap (as you can tell!) and spend time outside if possible. We now have two children and Madden is not getting the attention she deserves. She is very vocal about it and has seemed depressed lately. We love her so much and want to give her a more fulfilling life so we are hoping that a family who is sure they have enough time to devote to her would be willing to love her for us. Bonus if you're willing to send us pictures and videos of her every now and then. <3

Story
We are looking to re-home two wonderful adult cats that just need more attention than we can give due to increased travel schedule. Present is a female tuxedo and Mr. Bill is a male tabby. These are a bonded pair that we adopted together 10 years ago when they were estimated to be 2 years old. We've loved them so much but our travel has increased and these two really do best with a consistent schedule. They were declawed (front) when we adopted and are generally indoor cats that just love alittle attention and people in the house.

Story
Max is a 12 year old orange tabby with a heart of gold, seeking a new loving home. Max is very friendly and loves to cuddle. He does well with kids and other cats but feels a little anxious around dogs. This is ultimately why max needs to be rehomed. He is very patient with children and never bites or scratches. He would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a low maintenance, affectionate and cuddly cat. Max has some really unique qualities, he will come happily when you call him and kneads his paws like a kitten when happy and cuddling. Max likes his litter box kept very clean, he enjoys going outside and is highly motivated by food and treats. Max has had urinary tract issues in the past (swelling of the urethra) and so he is on a prescription cat food to manage this. He hasn’t had an issue since he was a kitten. Our family is so so to make this decision for our boy but we are hoping he can find a less stressful environment to spend his last years.

Story
Nelly Belly is a 2 and 1/2 year old cat. She is very petite, gentle and quiet. She barely meows but every once in a blue moon she will let out a squeak. She is very cuddly and loving, I have never met a cat with a more gentle and calm manner than Nelly's. She is playful and loves to be played with. But she is also extremely anxious and she gets startled and scared very easily. She doesn't have any special needs — she has a history of seizures but the vet could not find a cause for it; it could be related to her anxiety levels or it could be genetic. It doesn't happen frequently. The reason I am re-homing Nelly is due to the fact that my family and I are moving into a new apartment and we already have another cat. Primarily, however, is due to the fact that Nelly isn't able to get along with our other cat, Hana. Hana is very territorial, despite Nelly being here for 2 years. Nelly spends alot of time avoiding Hana and she's always anxious. She deserves to live freely and comfortably.

Story
Lily is a sweet girl who loves cuddles and just spending time with people. She can be a little timid at first, but after a short while she isn't afraid to show her true personality. She is playful and can get chatty when she wants attention. She is never too loud, though! Lily is not declawed and likes to scratch on furniture every once in awhile. I adopted Lily in October 2023 hoping she would be able to keep my other cat company while I was away at work. Unfortunately, after several months of trying to improve their relationship, Lily and my other cat still can not be in the same room together without violently attacking. I have realized that Lily deserves a home that can give her the attention she craves without needing to worry about her proximity to another cat. The vet estimates her age between 2 and 5 years. She has some tartar buildup on her teeth, but I was told it is not severe enough for any necessary dental work.

Story
Charlie is in need of a new home. Charlie is about 5 years old and he is in great health. He is extremely friendly and needs a home where he will get lots of attention. He loves other animals. At first he will be shy with you and your other furry friends but he usually wants to be best friends with other household animals. He does great with dogs and other cats (it might take a little while for the cats to acclimate to each other, as usual).

Story
We had Ellis since she was born 3 years ago in march. Her mother had her at out home and her siblings have since left. We have other cats and kids and dogs in our family, and everyone gets along swimmingly. Ellis is a very diverse cat! She has had two births with two kids each time. She had her first babies on July 3rd last year, welcoming Jasper and Mint. Ellis had her second birth of babies on March 20th this year, welcoming two new additions to her family. Jasper and mint are 1 year old and really love playing together and with Ellis. I hope that we can rehome them together, or at least with Mint and Jasper together. Her new borns are still breast-feeding and we hope they go with Ellis priority. Ellis and her kids are all litter box trained and eat both wet and dry food.
