Story
Oreo is 6 years old. Free with free delivery (can deliver in almost all of NY, CT, NJ, Eastern PA+). Oreo can be adopted alone or as part of a pair with Rosie (but separate homes are OK). From the owner- "I have 2 male cats. Oreo and Rosie(my daughter gave him a girls name). They are 6 yrs old. Very good cats. Have never missed their litter box and don't scratch my furniture. I moved to a 1 bedroom apartment, and it's just too small for the 3 of us. They are playful when you engage them. They enjoy attention. They like to play with each other. They do not damage any of my furniture. Love to bird watch."

Story
Bitsi is 9 and Bud is 5. Both are female. They must be rehomed together as a pair. Bud is a tan tabby. Bitsi is a mostly tan tabby, but technically torby (brown tabby + tortoise shell). They are free with free delivery. Bud was a stray street cat until she was 1 or 2. Her trauma consumed her for some time. When first introduced to my home, she hid in the closet for two weeks and did not come out. It was big enough to keep a litter box and food and water for her there. Eventually she started to come out, but she was very skittish with anyone, even me, for the better part of two years. Now, he is much more comfortable with our family and recently even laid on my lap, so she has come a long way. She still scares very easily and avoids new people as much as possible. While being scared, she is a very sweet cat who loves being pet even if she doesn't quite know how to receive it, at times. One note about Bud is that she experienced persistent litter issues for quite a while.

Story
Bitsi is 9 and Bud (separate ad) is 5. Both female. They must be rehomed together as a pair. Bud is a tan tabby. Bitsi is a mostly tan tabby, but technically torby (brown tabby + tortoise shell). They are free with free delivery. From the owner- ""I adopted Bitsi from a foster home when she was 5 months old. My understanding of her story prior to that is that her mother and the rest of her litter all died of exposure and that Bitsi was nursed by people from a very young age. She is extremely sweet and the most social cat that I've ever encountered. Anytime we have visitors, Bitsi greets them at the door. She adores being petted while sitting on a lap (she's not picky) and is particularly adept at finding the coziest spot to snuggle. Bitsi even slept by my side (under the covers) almost every night from the early days until about six years old. Bitsi can be a bit feisty, at times, and claws occasionally while being brushed, but generally, I think her mood is playful in these moments.

Story
Oreo and Rosie (both males) are 2 friendly cats that are being rehomed. Separate homes are OK (but if you want to adopt both, that's fine too). They are free with free delivery (almost anywhere in NY, NJ, CT, Eastern PA+. Oreo is black and white and Rosie is a brown tabby. From the owner- "I have 2 male cats. Oreo and Rosie(my daughter gave him a girls name). They are 6 yrs old. Very good cats. Have never missed their litter box and don't scratch my furniture. I moved to a 1 bedroom apartment, and it's just too small for the 3 of us. They are playful when you engage them. They enjoy attention. They like to play with each other. They do not damage any of my furniture. Love to bird watch." They get along with kids and dogs but the owner isn't sure if they get along with other cats. Neutered and vaccinated. Not declawed.
