Story
Aku is a 16lb lover boy that loves to keep company and lounge around. He is a such a good boy but due to being recently diagnosed with a chronic medical condition I’m not able to care for him alone or like I have been. This is the only reason because I don’t want him to suffer due to my declining health.He is super laid back, quiet and has never met a stranger. He doesn’t mess up furniture and will watch movies with you all day. He loves to be near someone but will also give you space as well. As stated before I am not able to care for him and myself medically . If you have any questions feel free to ask! Thanks so much

Story
Steve is a 1 year old cuddle bug, he was born February 22nd, 2025 and he's a rather big boy for his age. I've had him since birth along with his brother Shadow (shown in last picture). They are rather bonded and while Shadow’s a bit of a scaredy cat he has a relaxed nature. This however doesn't stop Steve from being the direct opposite or from living rent free in your business. Whether he's sitting next to you or across your entire body this boy has nothing but love to give. I wish I could keep Steve and I am willing to separate the brothers if needed but I just want to give them good homes where they are given so much love. Steve has not experienced dogs in his lifetime and he may be weary of big crowds at first, but if you give him a chance I think he will be someone's very best friend. Steve is good with kids and very good at falling off the couch stretching.

Story
Rose is pleasant; she has an easygoing and pleasing manner. She is sovereign and gracious. Rose enjoys her independence, often finding cozy corners or a sofa for peaceful naps. Rose welcomes gentle attention and will make a loyal companion to anyone who appreciates a quieter, more mature feline friend. She shows a playful side, especially with soft toys. Rose is livelier when the moon comes out!  She's perfect for someone seeking a calm and loving pet. Rose's ideal home is with an individual, couple or family with older children as she is tried-and-true to her peaceful ways. Adopting Rose means giving her a loving home where she can spend her golden years in comfort, surrounded by care and affection.  Rose is an 11-year-old American Shorthair with a brown tiger tabby pattern. She must be adopted with her littermate Dale as they have been together since kittens! To submit Rose's adoption application, copy and paste the link: Adoption Application for Feral Feline Coalition

Story
Wesley has a mild temperament free of extreme personality traits. He is not overly affectionate nor terribly skittish. Wesley exudes an air of intelligent laid-back mystique. He gets a kick out of playing in cardboard boxes and gets a charge out of chasing leaves. Wesley rolls over to be petted, does not mind being picked up and held as long as you have the muscles to hold this big boy! He tolerates combing and nail trims pretty well! Wesley gets vocal when in a pet carrier. He is reserved and bashful in a new environment. Wesley gets anxious when taken away from his comfort zone. Wesley's ideal home is with an individual, couple or family. He should do okay as an inside/outside kitty. Wesley is a 7-year-old American Shorthair with a black coat. He is large, weighing in at 14 pounds! To submit Wesley's adoption application, copy and paste the link: Adoption Application for Feral Feline Coalition

Story
Shadow is a 1 year old with an old soul, he was born February 22nd, 2025 and he's a big ol boy for his age. I've had him since birth along with his brother Steve (shown in last picture). They are rather bonded but I am willing to separate the brothers if needed. Steve is a cuddle bug through and through, while Shadow’s a bit more of a scaredy cat he has a pretty relaxed nature. Shadow is such a sweet boy he is just frighted by loud things. I'm not quite sure why but I like to think he just appreciates the quiet. Once he likes you though you're stuck with the best situation because he then will lay all over you wanting love just like his brother. He's rather interested in watching life around him, from watching out the window everyday or napping his day away. Shadow is so deserving of a safe, loving home with a window for him to watch life out of.

Story
Dale is sweet, perfectly independent and mellow. She enjoys her days lounging quietly and observing her surroundings with a wise gaze. Dale has a gentle presence, making her the perfect companion for someone seeking a calm and low-maintenance friend. Her independent nature means Dale is content to do her own thing, however at times she will appreciate a soft pat or a quiet moment with her human companion. Dale has spirited energy and movement when the sun goes down! Her ideal home is with an individual, couple or family with older children as Dale is too settled to play and interact with young kids. Adopting Dale means giving her the loving home she deserves in her golden years. Dale is an 11-year-old American Shorthair with a brown tiger tabby pattern. She flaunts long white whiskers! Dale must be adopted with her littermate Rose as they have been together since kittens!
