Story
We got Gilbert in 2016 from Nashville. He was 5 then, so he is probably around 12 now. He's been nothing but a perfect sweetheart. Loves cuddling and being pet. Very affectionate. Not shy around people. We recently learned that our newborn daughter is allergic to cats, that is the only reason why we reluctantly give him up. We are simply looking for a home where he'll be loved and cared for.

Story
Hi Cat Fam, I never thought I would be in this situation. My loving cat of 6 years Yoshi deserves a new home. I’ve had cats for the past 20 years and noticed something different with myself and not the cat. I had an epiphany and realized Yoshi thrives on his own. He does well with other cats, but I don’t organically give him the attention he deserves. He is loving, loves to be in your lap but will quickly be independent at the drop of a dime. He has a deep voice which gives him a very unique meow that makes everyone question where the sound came from. He’s a scavenger always on the food scent. I’ve fostered dozens of kittens and have raised 4 cats and I realized Yoshi would be great in a home that gives him the attention he needs. He’s all up to date on shots. Strictly wet food diet as he is prone to crystals. I have him on Hills C/D and I’ll throw in 3 months supply. I’m happy to share more details on his history. Kindly reach out for more details 😸

Story
Milo was adopted from Florida when I lived there 8 years ago as a kitten. He loves to cuddle and play. Ideally a home without other cats as he does get stressed out around them. He grew up with another large dog so he loves dogs. He is afraid of our toddler and we have another baby on the way so I think a home without young children would he ideal as well.

Story
Hello Hello everyone, Pippa here! I am a young, (almost 2 year old) Tuxedo girl looking for my new family. I know there are so many other tuxies out there but let me break down why I am EXTRA SPECIAL: • I am a chatty chatty girl that loves to talk to you … I always have so much to meow about. If you believe silence is golden, then move along buddy... • Toys, toys and more toys are very important to me and I LOVE to play • I am quite the love bug and enjoy being close to my humans. In fact, I sleep on my foster dad's side of the bed every single night! • I would love to have another feline buddy as my playmate, but also I am totally ok being the only apple of your eye, as long as there's enough in your house to keep me entertained!

Story
Spaghetti, like many other friendly cats, was thrown out to the street only because he was not neutered the owners did not like the strong smell of his urine and decided to get rid of him. The night I found him he was crying and asking for food. I offered food, he began eating and let me bring him home. He has been fully vetted and he is ready to go to a loving home.

Story
Schmatta was running around the neighborhood and being fed in our neighbor’s backyard. Around 4 months ago we took over some of the care of that neighbor’s cats when she became very ill. Schmatta continued to be fed outside by us, in the neighbor’s yard and on a street nearby. We became particularly concerned about him because he didn’t get along with the other street cats and didn’t have good street crossing instincts. We had already started feeding on our front porch and hoped that he would start feeding at our house and stop crossing the street. He started eating on our porch and following us, like a dog, to our neighbor’s house. He was adapting to us, but we were not convinced that he’d ever get along with other cats or happily stay indoors. He has since come into our house. He’s turned out to get along with other cats…mostly. He does not appear to have any interest in outside. He also has turned out to be a lap cat that likes tummy rubs. Who knew? We are guessing that his age is between 1-2 years old. Sadly, that means that he’s too young for people of our age. This is why we’re looking for a permanent home for him. Someone will end up with a great cat. IF INTERESTED, Email : amada1021@gmail.com Or text (201) 867-8543 Adoption fee and adoption protocol is mandatory
