Story
We got Fry about six months ago from PetCo. He is a very sweet cat who is very cuddly. We are looking for a good home for him because while he gets along with our bigger cat who likes to wrestle with him, he does not get along with our smaller cat who does not like to wrestle. He tries to play with her but just ends up bullying her because she won't play back. We would keep him if they could get along but now our smaller cat is over grooming and seems to be having a lot of anxiety. He would get along well with another playful cat. Fry is an absolute bundle of joy. He loves giving kisses and nuzzling. He loves playing with fishing rod toys.

Story
He’s a good cat he’s just scared of our toddler. He also doesn’t have a lot going on upstairs if you know what I mean. He loves to cuddle under blankets. If you’re watching TV he will eventually jump in you and lay in your lap. He’ll lay with you for hours if you let him. He enjoys playing with water. If you spray him he’ll think it’s a game.

Story
Hi! This is Nico, aka Nico stinko bug. He’s needing a good home, where he doesn’t have to have a fluffy cat bothering him, but short hair cats are okay. He’s pretty good with dogs bigger than him, but i’m unsure about little dogs. He’s 6 years old, we got him from a shelter and we’re trying so hard to get him a new home so he doesn’t go back. We had to move back into my boyfriend’s parents so we were unable to keep him, and he’s been at our friends house but she has too many cats. He’s such a loving, talkative, sweet cat, it breaks our hearts to let him go, but there is just no other option for him. This boy deserves such a good home. The adoption fee is so nobody takes him to hurt him (my facebook group told me to put one)

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I am listing Chai because my living situation has drastically changed as well as my health. I am disabled and no longer able to care for her and she’s not getting the car she needs and doesn’t care for other pets. So because of that she needs a home without pets or small children. She’s very loyal and loves to be near you but head scritches are her favorite. She comes with everything she needs and has had recent veterinary care in the last week. She needs to be an only pet with a responsible owner who can make sure she always has a clean box, fresh water, and food in her bowl. She free feeds and has her whole life. She is one of those that hates if she can see the bottom and will let you know. She got such a mischievous little personality. I know it will take time to adjust but she’s a fun loving cat. I have everything she needs to go to her new home with. I really hope someone can take a chance on her because I’m terrified of having to take her to the shelter. She deserves better.

Story
Coco is a thick love ball. His purr sounds like a little bird might be in the room with you. He has his moments of wanting to be a cuddle bug with you and moments where he hides away. He knows his name and he loves to talk with you. He gets along with other cats, dogs, and children. He loves to just chill and hang out but don’t get me wrong he still gets those zoomies.
