Story
DC is 15 years old. He loves attention, the outdoors, and is easy going. He has become quite the talker the older he has gotten. He is declawed so I only let him outside for short periods of time. He does have medical issues because he is older. He has had a heart murmur for the last year but the vet is just keeping track of it. 3 months ago he was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and was taking meds twice daily. I have had him since he was 6 weeks old. He isn’t getting the love he deserves which is why I am rehoming him.

Story
Evie is a 3 year old cat. Her mom was feral and her litter was rescued by a neighbor. Unfortunately she does not get along with our other cat at all. They are constantly fighting. She is a cuddle bug, especially when you have a blanket for her to lay on. She does get along with our golden retriever. She prefers not to be with younger children or people who want to pick her up and hold her all of the time. She will come to you!

Story
Mama Mo is a sweet cat- she has lived a tough life outdoors after her owners moved away. She was a good mama to her kittens (all adopted and loving their new homes)! She is learning to trust people again- and can sometimes be a little spicy if you pet her past her allotted timespan (which only she is privy to).  She had a brief stint at Whisker Station, but that wasn't her jam- she was not at all aggressive with the other cats but prefers a quieter more laid back vibe. So now she is back with us in her favorite chair! She deserves the absolute best- a family (without young kids) that really understands and appreciates cat behavior as she does have a few quirks! I think she would be fine with non-aggressive dogs or cats. She is pretty much ignores the other animals in our home- a dog and 3 other cats.  Mo loves to be brushed and pet, but does not enjoy if you put your face close to her. She will let you know about it! Reach out if you would like more information on Mo! It is definitely worthwhile gaining her trust- she is a special kitty and deserves a special family of her own!March 27, 2024, 11:15 am

Story
I’m looking for a loving home for my buddy, Jango. I’ve had Jango for almost 11 years, since he was a kitten. My wife and I have combined pet families and unfortunately Jango just doesn’t fit in well with the group. He has picked out my wife’s best friend as a target and relentlessly stalks him. He doesn’t want to be close to most of the other pets, is a bit of a loner and would probably be happiest in a home with a female cat or as a solo cat getting a ton of attention. He was happiest when it was just me and him and one other cat, and he could have all of the attention and bed space he wanted. He is just too skittish and standoffish for our now larger pet family and would be happier in a different environment. He’s been inside his entire life and after initial shots I haven’t kept on them as regularly as maybe preferable. He’s never had any health issues, is litter trained and stays off of counters and tables. He’s a good boy. He’d love to game or read with you for hours.

Story
Rosco, is a 14 yr old male all black cat of my mothers, who has a hard time getting along with his brothers and sister animals. Since she has gotten sick with stage three ovarian cancer, I have had to move back in with the family, and bring all my animals with me. Rosco has always prefered to be the only animal in the house, but will put up with one other cat, or cat-friendly dog. However, since we have so many now he is very stressed out and living under my bed and has started to stress lick,plus another cat of mine is kind of a bully to him. It would be much better for poor Rosco's mental health if he could find a nice quiet house to live in with maybe only one other cat or just a dog.

Story
We rescued Zues and his sister Zara when they were kittens from our parent's farm, so they were not eaten and killed by the coyotes. We have kept them, housed them, fed them, fixed them, and got them their shots. They also have been declawed of their front claws. We want them to now find a forever home where they can get the attention and love they deserve. They have been around both of our German Sheperds, and they do fine together. Serious inquiries only and they must go together!!
