Story
Simpson is a sweet, gentle 3½-year-old cat that I adopted from a farm in Vermont. He currently has 5 other siblings in his home and gets along very well with all of them. Over the past two years he has experienced recurring intermittent vomiting and inflammation, which may be related to stress and I believe a fair degree of boredom being an indoor cat. His favorite thing to do is sit on my 2nd story porch in the warm weather and watch the birds and this long winter has been rough for him. Ideally, I would love to place him with an attentive caregiver in a home where he has more access to the sights and sounds of nature and possibly more stimulation from people and activity than he receives now. I am working with a specialist to help treat his medical issues and he needs to be transitioned on a special diet which is also difficult with multiple cats in the home. If I can find the ideal situation for him, it would really mean a lot to me to find him a place where he may thrive.

Story
Burt (tuxedo) is a outgoing, playful, and will greet you at the door. He supervises most household activities despite having zero qualifications. He is a seasoned pastry chef and ends his day by baking biscuits, muffins, and bread. He is currently testing out macaroon recipes with mixed results. Missy (long-hair diva) is quieter at first, but once she trusts you, she is incredibly loyal and affectionate. She reigns as queen of the cat tower and maintains a level of dramatic elegance that suggests she was royalty in a past life. We’ve tried for two years to integrate them with our Bengal cat, who continues to be aggressive towards them. Since we have them separated, Burt and Missy spend most of the day alone. This is a heartbreaking decision, but they truly deserve a home where they can be part of everyday life.

Luna is almost 6 years old and has been with me since she was a kitten. She is a very affectionate, loyal cat who forms a strong bond with her person and loves to cuddle and relax close by.Luna has a big personality and does best in a calm, quiet home. She needs an experienced, adult-only owner who understands her boundaries. She can become anxious around unfamiliar people, pets, or busy environments.She is on medication for anxiety and has been well cared for. With patience and understanding, Luna will be a deeply devoted companion.This is a very difficult decision. I’m looking for a safe, loving home where she can thrive.Adoption fee waived for the right home.
