Story
Wild Mike has been with us, 4 cats + 1 dog for 4 months now. We decided to forster him for a “friend”, he was in need of a temporary home and we are experienced cat owners. He was shy and skittish at first but socialized really well with our pets. Unfortunately he just didn’t take too well to humans, we are unsure if this is due to his previous home. We love him but we know it is in his best interest. He would be most comfortable in a home with less humans as there are 4 of us currently. He’s so cute and very vocal, he loves to cuddle with the other cats + dog.

Story
Pico is an incredible cat that I was lucky to adopt from the Humane Society about three months ago. He's approx. 8 months old, and he is loving, very smart, and has a lot of personality. He loves treats and enjoys walking outside on a harness as well, but he is an indoor cat. I absolutely love him and I'm devastated to rehome him, but I have developed severe allergies that I did not know I had due to not owning a cat before. Pico is a lovely cat and enjoys playing fetch, and is quite active but loves to cuddle and show affection. He's about five pounds and is fairly small for his age, and I believe he is done growing. I also have a dog and they are great friends so I assume Pico would do well with other dogs as well. I really love him and I do not want him to have to go through the shelter process again, and he would be a great cat for anyone due to how loving and intelligent he is. Pico will also come with some food, litter box, cat tree, and a ton of toys.
