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.

She’ been inside all her life and is litter box trained. Please take Snowball to a good home!! James

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
Benjamin is a ten year old tuxedo cat who has been with us since he was a kitten. He is extremely hungry for affection and is in good health for being a ten year old cat. Though he mainly sleeps all day, he loves sitting in laps, eating treats, chasing lasers, and other typical cat things. He has lived his entire life with another cat without any issues. We are rehoming him because of behavioral issues that we do not have the time to address. While he has been generally good with our kids, he is not well behaved with folks outside our family, which impedes our social lives. Benjamin is skittish around strangers and will usually withdraw to be by himself when others are around. If approached by a stranger he can be feisty and lash out. He also has trouble adjusting to new environments, hissing and swatting for a few days, but if you leave him alone and let him settle in he will be a good boy. Benjamin has twice had FIUTD, but has had no issues for the past 5 or so years.
