Story
Simba is a 6-year-old male cat we adopted as a kitten and have loved for the past 6 years. He has a calm, easygoing personality and is very low-maintenance. Most of the time, he is independent and happily entertains himself, naps, or relaxes quietly. He does enjoy gentle affection—he loves being pet and brushed. A little daily attention like brushing and soft petting makes him very happy, but he does not require constant interaction. He is affectionate in a calm, non-demanding way. Simba is healthy, well-behaved, litter trained, and fully up to date on vaccinations. He has regular vet checkups and has always been in good health. We are rehoming him because he and our young child are not the best match in daily life, and with our current situation we are not able to give him the time and companionship he deserves. We hope to find him a calm, loving home where he can receive more consistent attention and care. Simba would do best with someone who truly enjoys cats and can give him love

Story
I adopted Oreo as a kitten. He is about 7yr's old now. 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. He did have another cat in his life but they were seperated. Prior to that though, they ate out of the same bowl, slept together and played together.

Story
Sweet 1 year boy energetic and playful. Loves to cuddle in bed. Unfortunately is not getting along with older cat which is why he needs to be rehomed. Looking for an environment where he can be himself - good with kids. Loves to sleep in sinks :) and climb on headboards. Chases balls for hours. Not big on being held but will nuzzle up to you.looking for a forever home with someone who is truly compassionate caring and affectionate.

Story
My name is BEN and I was born on 4/24/2026 at the house of my mom. My birth mom wasn’t able to feed me. I was fed by with a bottle since I was 2 weeks old. I’m a nice personality kitty. A little bit skittish. I’m pretty lay down cat. I do not get into trouble with other cats. I mind my own business. I’m quiet and nice. I love to sleep in my mom’s bed. I’m trained on the litter robot (not afraid of it) and the litter box too. I have my nails trimmed regularly so I don’t scratch you. I’m trained not to bite while playing with my friends. Or my mom’s hand. I’m cleaned and protected from fleas and other diseases (Revolution Plus - medication. Kill fleas before they lay eggs, kill ticks for a full month, prevent heartworm disease and treat and control roundworms, hookworms and ear mites).I love to watch the outside world through the window. And I love to sleep of course by my mom’s feet. I’m clean and obedient. I’m ready to find my forever home where I can have peace of mind.

Story
Nova is about 9 months old and full of energy. We adopted her two months ago, but unfortunately she and our current cat aren’t getting along. She would do best in a home where she can be the only cat. She’s fully litter‑box trained, loves treats, and never turns down a snack. Nova is also blind in her right eye, but it doesn’t slow her down at all — it just gives her a uniquely sweet, expressive look. Overall, she’s a wonderful cat; she just isn’t the right fit with the pet we already have. For potential adopters, we are willing to provide you with her automatic feeder and stainless steel litter box.
