Dallas is a three-year-old boy and is very kind, cuddly, and affectionate. Dallas will meow at you and wait to be cuddled, sleep beside you, and loves to play.

Dallas needs some help losing weight, and is bonded to his friend, Mr White, a black two-year-old female cat who is spayed. Dallas is neutered and up to date with his shots.

Story
Mr White is a two-year-old girl who is chatty, playful, and loves to cuddle up close to your face. She's okay with being handled, will sleep beside you on your pillow, and make air biscuits just as she's around you. Mr white is also a bit nervous about going to a new home, however, and will need some time to get used to being in a new environment. She would also love to go to a home with her bonded friend, Dallas. Mr White is very argumentative and scared of other cats, unfortunately, but will get along with anyone as long as they're gentle with her. She doesn't do well with loud sounds or environments. Mr White is spayed and up to date with her shots.

Story
Willow is a 2 year old independent girl. She is a “one person” kitty. With 3 kids in the house, she doesn’t like the chaos Willow likes to sleep and cuddle with one person and enjoys looking out the window. She is an indoor cat and is afraid of the outdoors. She is Litter box trained. We are sad to see Willow go, but she thrives in a quieter setting and our busy house stresses this sweet girl out. She loves when the kids are at school and mom is working from home.
