Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sterling is three years old. He was given to me by a coworker after he and his sisters were found without their mom as a kitten. He’s a talkative kitty. He hasn’t been around other dogs or cats or children. He’s kind of shy and skittish. He had the pu surgery when he was one and in the last year has been put on gabapentin for urinary discomfort. Becuase of the financial burden the surgery put me in, his recent uptick in urinary worries has cause me anxiety and stress that I can no longer handle. He has special c/d urinary stress food that he’s prescribed. He is a wonderful and cuddly cat that needs a low stress home. This decision does not come lightly because I love him but I can’t wait till there’s a medical emergency that I can’t afford.

Story
We adopted Snow from Apa in Brentwood and she is almost 1 1/2 years old. She is a very loving kitty who will nudges you to pet her when she’s comfortable and will let you know when she’s hungry in the morning. She’ll most likely look for you in the morning and when you come home. She loves people and very easy with being picked up and loves being pet. She does tends to bite lightly to let you know if you’re doing it too hard. We love Snow, but based on our schedule and family situation we aren’t able to continue giving her the love and attention that she wants. We’re looking for a loving family that will be able to spend time with her since she’s very low maintenance. She only prefer her dry food and dry treats so don’t worry about her eating anything else because she even refuses to eat cat’s wet food and any human food.

We got pepper from a listing online. We thought she would be a good fit for our older cat, but it is not working out. Pepper may be better with a younger cat with more energy or a one cat home.

Story
I got .Oreo just before Christmas 2025, I had not had a cat for a long time and she was my Christmas present to myself. lolShe was 2 years old at the time, so I consider her birthday as December 20, 2023. I believeshe had to struggle for food with other cats and she was very thin, so I spoiled her by giving her canned tuna and a dry food called Temptations that she liked. Her weight went zooming up until she now maintains a steady 8 pounds. Her fur is thick and shiny and she is the picture of good health.Oreo likes to follow you from room to room, sleep with you and of course lay on your lap. She adores attention and getting petted. She is a quiet, very clean cat and would be best suited to adults only (in my opinion). She enjoys her cat tree and a few toys. She is very well trained and never makes a mess.I am sad about rehoming, but I have a serious medical problem., so I do need to do this soon.

Story
Salem was found on the street by a neighbor. I took her in when the neighbor could not feed another mouth. Salem has been with me for about a year and is the sweetest cat. She loves to snuggle, play, and even chases her tail. My other two cats are bullies towards her and that is unfortunately why I have to rehome Salem.
