Story
Hi, I'm Fern! 😺 My mother was abandoned while she was pregnant with us, but she found a home that took her in and raised us. I'm now 6 months old, up to date on shots, neutered, and looking for my forever home. I'm very playful and mischievous, I love to run around and play with toys 🧶 and then curl up beside you for a nap.

Story
Wiley is a sweet, playful, and cuddly female kitten. She is white/black, with fluffy medium hair length (with some tiger stripe markings). We think she is around 12-15 weeks. She is healthy to the best of our knowledge, eats/drinks dry cat food/water appropriately, and is litter trained. She has had wet food, but not on a daily basis. She plays well with her sibling and other cats, and has been in a smoke-free household with kids age 10 and older with no issues. She does not have any shots or other vet care (due to our personal financial abilities). We are adopting out her and her sister (separate listing) following the loss of a family member who was their owner. We want to see her go to a loving home where she will be an indoor pet and will be properly cared for and cherished. If you would like to meet her, please contact me. We are located in Eastern Jackson County, near Blue Springs and Grain Valley. Thank you! :-)

Story
Persephone is a very mild mannered cat, she likes to cuddle a lot. She does not do well with other animals, in that they make her stressed and she will hide from them. I have recently had some severe health issues that are preventing me from taking care of her. I’m only 24 so I obviously wasn’t expecting to lose so much functionality and it breaks my heart to give her up but I can’t take care of her.

Story
Very loving and affectionate companion kitty in need of a new family home. He was a great joy to my elderly parents for the years they had with him, but one just passed away and the other must now enter advanced dementia care. He loves attention and will joyfully greet you at the door. Well house broken with no accidents. He originally came to my parents from KC Pet Project via a foster home about 4 years ago and will make a great addition to your family.

Story
She’s a very sweet and loving girl, we have a new baby and can’t give her the attention she needs. She wants to cuddle all day long with anyone. She will snuggle up to sleep and not move a muscle. She is amazing with kids and babies, no problems using liter pan. She does great with other animals as well, just takes a bit for her to warm up to them. Has no problem with new people though!
