Story
Oliver is truly a great, loving cat. He definitely has anxiety issues as he is very uneasy at times with sudden movements or loud noises. He gets along well with our two other cats, which is actually heartbreaking to us to have to split them apart. We are currently undergoing a refresh of our condo to prepare it to sell and move into our new home and therefore we are unable to take him with us. The main reason for our need to have to part with him is due to said anxiety, we’ve recently welcomed a baby into our family and between that and the move it has been stressful on him. Despite our repeated attempts to correct this behavior, we have decided that it is best for us to part ways with him, unfortunately. We think he would be best suited in a quiet, peaceful home.

Story
I adopted Storm through a local rescue in 2021. She is about 6 years old. She has been exclusively an indoor cat. She is very sweet with a delicate meow. She loves chin and head rubs for which she will gently tap you with her paw to get your attention. She is playful. She loves to chase strings and her favorite toy is the wand with the fuzzy squiggly worms. She only likes to be picked up briefly and held like a baby or under her belly with the legs free. She loves to curl up on your lap. She is a wonderful, loveable furry fuzz ball. I would love to keep her forever but my living situation has changed and I cannot keep her. Very sad but it will make it a bit easier if she can find a new loving home where she can be happy.

Story
We are looking for a loving new home for our cat. He is calm, gentle, and very affectionate. He enjoys a relaxed lifestyle, loves to sleep and lounge, but will happily play when you engage with him. He truly loves people and enjoys being around them, whether it’s quiet company or gentle attention. He has been a cherished part of our family, but due to allergies developed in our family, we can no longer keep him. This decision has nothing to do with his behavior. We truly love him and hope to find a kind, peaceful home where he can enjoy comfort, love, and companionship.

Story
It’s very hard for us to write this, but we are looking for a loving new home for our cat. He is a funny, energetic, and playful boy who loves to run, chase toys, and make adorable, silly sounds while playing. He has a big personality and brings a lot of joy and laughter into the home. He has been a wonderful part of our family, but sadly, due to allergies developed in our family, we can no longer keep him. This decision is not about him or his behavior. We truly love him and are hoping to find a kind family who will give him the attention, playtime, and love he deserves.

Story
I adopted Oreo as a kitten. He's been a great cat. Doesn't scratch the furniture and has never missed his litter box. My work schedule leaves him home alone and i'm thinking it is too much alone time for him. Trying to find a home with more activity or other cats to keep him entertained :) He loves attention. Will cuddle up next to me for plenty of attention. Even likes to rub his face against mine. He did have another cat in his life but they were seperated. Prior to that though, they eat out of the same bowl, slept together and played together.
