Story

A month ago I saw a lady throwing him out near a dumpster. I intervened because I love cats and wouldnt want one to be abandoned by their owner. So she let me have him. I have 4 other cats, so I introduced him and it sadly didn't work out. Hes very playful but way younger than my other cats- so my other cats aren’t playful . So his playfulness would be met with aggression. From his background he doesnt work well with other kids. He might work well with other cats but only his age. Hes very sweet boy, who gets easily attached, he loves being around you. He is very playful but not too playful to where he is annoying. I would love to find max a loving home where he can stay forever. Thanks. I think its important to mention he needs work done on his teeth, and his shots need to be up to date. Thank you.

Story

Tiger is a loving, affectionate 2-year-old cat from a rescued moms surprise litter. She is very social with people, loves to cuddle once she feels safe, and enjoys playing and being near her person. She loves cuddling on the bed or couch& is litter trained. She is INDOOR ONLY and would not be safe outside, so please do not apply if you want an outdoor cat. She loves wet food, eats dry food daily, is used to kids and normal household noise, and enjoys being held when treated gently. We are rehoming only because there are too many cats in one home, and they all deserve peace, space, and individual attention. It’s stressful for them at their age to share one space. Please only reach out if you are ready for a true forever commitment. We want her placed once, safely, and with love. **note: She is not yet spayed and will need a vet check and routine care in her new home. Please be sure you can afford that Thank you so much! Looking forward to speaking with you soon:)

Good with kids, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Gravy is a beautiful 2-year-old indoor-only girl with a loving, vocal personality and a wonderful temperament. She enjoys her independence at times and may hide away for quiet moments, but if you call her for cuddles, pets, or dinner, she’ll come running fast. She truly loves affection, playtime, and sleeping in bed with her person. Gravy is playful and affectionate, and while she can be a little rough during play fighting with her sisters, it’s only because she’s a very solid girl with lots of playful energy. She has a stunning, unique coat color and a presence that’s impossible not to love. She would do best in a home with two additional cats or fewer so she doesn’t feel overwhelmed. Gravy is not spayed yet and will need to be spayed and get a general vet checkup ASAP. Please be sure you can do this & are looking for a forever cat. If you’re looking for a loving, playful, cuddly companion with personality and beauty, Gravy is an amazing choice and will love you lots:) 🐾💛

Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I rescued Aggie in mid-Oct. In 2025; she came to my backyard, frightened and hungry. I fed her for a week before I was able to trap her and take her to my primary veterinarian to be checked out. She was frightened of people and of being indoors, but she has become very affectionate and sweet with me; some time, patience, and love goes a long way with her to create a rewarding relationship with this loving cat who now wants my attention and petting even before she eats anything. She's been in my home (in a room) for a month, but I have two other cats and one of them is very aggressive and hostile toward her. The other one of my cats is losing fur because of the stress, so I need to rehome her, I'm sorry to say. If she is adopted by someone who owns a cat, I think she would be fine with the cat, if the cat is ok with her -- she is very submissive to mine, even when they are hostile to her. She uses a litterbox perfectly, eats well, and has no medical issues. She's healthy and ready!

Story

We have a 13.5-year-old cat named Mary, whom we took on from a friend of a friend who had to move and could not take her along. We took her in because we have the means and resources. We have 2 cats who are roughly 3 years old. We have had Mary since 6/14/25. We want to rehome Mary because she is attacking our 2 existing cats. She needs to be in a home with no other pets. She is the sweetest cat, and we would love to keep her, but for everyone's stress level and safety, this is no longer an option. We have tried to integrate the cats for months, but nothing is working. Mary 13.5 years old Missing her right eye Vet cleared on health and all shots She does have the sniffles Litter box trained with no accidents so far She does not like other animals She does not like her back feet touched She is a love bug to People. She is overweight, but we feed her 2/3oz cans a day and she is losing weight She needs an owner who has time to spend with her and has no other pets.

Good with kids, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Tiggy is a beautiful, gentle 2-year-old cat from a rescued mom’s surprise litter. She is the most shy and reserved of her sisters, but she is still affectionate, sweet, and enjoys cuddles and being held for short periods before she politely hops down. She is INDOOR ONLY and would not be safe outside. Tiggy is very gentle & okay with children but may avoid them if they’re aggressive. She can get startled & prefers a calm, quiet environment. Because of her sensitive nature, she would do best as a solo cat or with one very chill companion. She loves wet food, eats dry food daily, is used to normal household noise, and is a peaceful, gentle presence. We are rehoming only because there are too many cats in one home, and they all deserve peace, space, and individual attention. Please only reach out if you are ready for a true forever commitment. **note: She is not yet spayed and will need a vet check and routine care in her new home. Thanks so much! Hope to hear from you soon :)
