Story
Funny, outgoing, energetic cat. He was born sometime in August. We found him abandoned outside our home as a kitten. We took him in so that he would have a shot at life. We're unable to keep him because we already have so many cats of our own. We want him to go to a loving family who's got the time for him. He's high energy, loves to play, and is a great cuddle buddy.

Story
This is one of 3 kittens that were born outside. He's very shy but I've been working with him and he comes for food & treats now. He might do better with one of his brothers if you can take 2. He's a beautiful little cat. It's getting cold and he deserves a warm home and someone to love him. He's somewhere between 14 & 16 wks I think. He needs someone with patience to get him used to a house and learn to trust, but it shouldn't take long, he's very sweet.

Story
Kira is a very loving, sweet cat (7 years old). Since she is older, her two younger siblings play way too rough with her. Kira is good with older/mellow animals. She's never been around dogs so I'm not sure how she is with them, but cats are okay. Kira needs to be in a quiet home with calm or even no other pets. She is fine with people, loves to be pet. She's very quiet and loves to play with hair ties and bottle caps. We want her to have a home where she can be comfortable in and have a better quality of life. If anyone wants a calm baby, she is the one. I have also changed jobs, and my schedule is very busy now and she is alone a lot. Would love her to have a home with someone more available.

Story
Hello! My name is Fish. I am majestic and grey. I am large sized and I take up space. I am a bit particular about how you pet me and once you and I sync up we will adore our petting sessions. I don't like to be picked up but will tolerate it for short periods of time. Mostly you can just say what you want me to do and I'll do it. I'm probably the smartest cat you'll ever meet. I do seek love and affection; I just like it to be on my terms. I am a fastie, physically strong, and active. I love to play and horse around. I like to sit on high spots and watch everything that is going on around me. I love my littermate Bubby and would love us in our next home together. It's not a deal breaker but she's a little timid and would do well to have me by her side in our next home. I love sitting close to you and when you rub my cheeks I'm putty in your hands. I am confident, intelligent, and sweet. I take care of those around me. I am looking forward to meeting you!
