Story
This is Toby. He was born sometime in Oct. 2021. He was a ferule kitten. He came back to my garage after he and his family left, because I think he remembered where he got free food. It took me 2 months just for him to trust me enough to touch him. He came inside to live in March of 2021. He learned the litterbox instantly. He is very affectionate and during cold months, is in my lap all the time snoozing. He is microchipped and has been fixed. He does not enjoy being picked up, as he never was as a kitten. I am not sure how he gets along with other animals, as I do not have any others. He does get to see his mother, as she still comes around for food. I am not sure how he would be with young children, as he has never seen one. I never intended to keep him forever. I wanted to save him from the ferule life and adopt him out if possible...

Story
Max is a very mild cat who loves attention and contact. He is "partially" outdoors. During the summer months, he likes to wander near the house and lie in the sun all day. He will usually turn in and sleep in the house, preferably in the same room as you. He has lived with a 35lb dog for multiple years without issue and has also had no issues with small children in the home. We, unfortunately, have to look into rehoming due to developed allergies that no longer allow the close contact he requires. Max is a very loving cat who always will want to be in your lap and also has no issue warming up to guests in the home. Shots will be up to date at adoption.

Story
My name is Peaches. I'm a cuddle loving laid back tabby looking for a new home. My owners and their family have allergies that they battled through to give me a loving home but sadly they have to move on. I am very friendly once I warm up to you and would love nothing more than a forever home that can provide me with all the love and cuddles I can handle.

Story
Philly Cheese is a 10 month old orange kitty. I wish I didn’t have to do this. Philly is great except for the behavior of peeing on all things baby related. He uses his litter box like normal, but continues to pee on things either in the nursery or the playroom. He has even ruined my baby’s car seat and a couple mattresses, blankets, and chairs. I really have tried everything. I believe he just needs to live in a baby-free home! He does great with our dog. I haven’t seen him around other cats. He is very cuddly and sweet and also playful. He is truly the stereotype of orange cat, haha. He loves his cat tree, watching tv, playing with toys, playing fetch, and running around. He also loves giving kisses and snuggles. We will be providing whatever food and litter we have remaining; as well as treats, toys, litter box and scoop, cat tree, and cat bed. I know the adoption fee says $50, but I’m willing to go much lower than that : $20 (The website just won’t let me change it anywhere)

Story
I took in Dex 3 years ago after a student needed to go to rehab, but never came back for him. Thought I could make it work despite my cats not really getting along with him. After seeing Dex apart from my cats for a few months, I saw he was an entirely different cat when he was not stressed with my two cats. Rather than constantly trying to get out of the house and being hyperactive/defensive, he was extremely cuddly and sweet. After seeing that, I realized it's better for him to find a home where he can feel more welcomed than with my cat. A little bit about Dex: ~4 years old - Super friendly with other animals in neighborhood but not necessarily animals in same house (seen him take walks with my neighbor and his dog outside before lol) - loves to nap but also can be energetic like a puppy - extremely extroverted (friends with all my neighbors now because he's been in all their homes) Ideal home: - ability to go in and out of house as needed - only pet in the house
