Story
I adopted Jade in January 2026. She is truly the sweetest, most affectionate, communicative and cuddly little girl. However, I believe she would be happiest in a one cat household, as her and my 6 year old female cat just cannot seem to get along and this has caused tension and distress for both of them. It breaks my heart to have to rehome her because she really is the most loving kitty I’ve ever had, but I know she’ll be happier in a different environment. Jade likes to spend her days cuddled up in my bed, watching me while I work from home. Because I have the luxury of working from home, and her cuteness is just too tempting, we have spent a lot of our days cuddled up together in bed, with her getting as close to me as possible for warmth, comfort and some good pets. She’s also a very talkative gal, and wants ALL of the attention and love! She loves being held like a little baby, and also loves being talked to in a soft voice, or being sung to.

Story
Ponyboy is a sweet and affectionate 3yo intact male tabby. He is around 12lbs. Pony unfortunately has FIV and FeLV. He shows no symptoms yet as far as I know, but I am not positive. He does not seem to know how to do a lot of instinctual cat behaviors, but he is a very chill cat overall. He has made me very happy, but I know that I am not able to give him the care and attention he deserves, nor will my living situation be compatible in the near future.

Story
Monkey is my 6-year old sweet girl who has spent her entire life deeply loved, and I am saddened to have to look for a new home for her. I adopted Monkey when she was 8-weeks old, and I have 3 cats total.She needs someone who is patient and willing to work with her to see her potential.Monkey thrives in quiet, predictable environments, and her ideal home would be with a single person or possibly a quiet couple, with no other cats or dogs, so she can relax without the stress of sharing her space. Because of an incident 3 years ago where she saw a stray cat outside our window, she has developed severe anxiety surrounding other cats, which causes her to lash out at her cat-siblings. When Monkey feels safe, she is affectionate, sweet, and fun! She loves peaceful naps, being pet, brushed, and lets me know she loves me with her slow blinks and head-nudges. She is currently on Prozac for anxiety which is a daily pill - which I would think she could be off it if she was the only cat in a home.

Story
It breaks my heart to have to do this, but I’m looking for the perfect home for my sweet, two year old boy, Luke.Luke is one of the most loving, gentle, and cuddly cats you’ll ever meet. He loves to curl up beside you, follow you around the house, and soak up all the affection he can get. He’s incredibly sweet-natured and just wants to be near his people.This decision hasn’t been easy, but I know Luke deserves more time, attention, and love than I’m able to give him right now. My biggest priority is finding him a home where he’ll be cherished, spoiled, and given all the cuddles he deserves.If you’re looking for a loyal companion with the sweetest personality, Luke could be the perfect addition to your family. I want to make sure he goes to a loving home where he’ll be happy for the rest of his life.

Story
We have made the incredibly difficult decision to try and re-home our 2 beloved cats. They are amazing and we want them to have the absolute best home and we can no longer provide that for them. Titan is my adventurous one - he is friends with the whole neighborhood and spends many nights outside. He is fiercely loyal and loves a snuggle to reset before his next exploration.We have young children and the environment has become too stressful for them, leading one to have bathroom issues (poop only). We have worked with their vet, gotten them additional exercise and adventure opportunities, tried relaxing plug-ins and medication. The adoption fee is only to ensure a serious match can be made. We are open to working with you on this and/or providing help however we can to ensure they end up in a safe and loving home.They are good with our large dog and have never shown any aggression whatsoever towards children.2 Adult Male short hair cats - White & OrangeDOB 8/5/2020Indoor/Outdoor

Story
T'challa is a wonderful feline! I took him in from a farmer's home when he was a little over a month old (supposedly; born March 12th 2025). With my work hours and having to care for him at such a young age. It was a challenge presented as a blessing in disguise. He's over a year now. Full of energy (so, yes, playful). Oddly enough, he is also easy to bathe (he's calm for the most part, as I would sing or talk to him). The challenge is the claw clipping. I'd leave that to a professional. Sometimes, I would take him for a walk, preferably an area with fewer others around (he gets uncomfortable). He's prone to motion sickness. So it is ideal to keep him kenneled. Placing him in a closed in litter box worked great. No messes. It is unfortunate, the reason for my having to place such a post. He and I have learned that he doesn't get along with other animals. I take it that he territorial of his space and human companion.
