Story
Rose is about 3 years old and was given to me by my grandma who could no longer care for her. She is just the sweetest little girl and loves attention! She is part siamese so she still looks very young and small but is probably almost full grown ! I am looking to rehome her and her sister Rue together. They love each other alot and I would hate for them to separate. When I took them in I already had a dog that they are completely terrified of so for that reason I have to keep them separate. I want these sweet babies to have a loving home where they can roam and not feel afraid. I love her very much and just wan the best for her.

Story
Coraline is approximately 3-4 years old. She a petite cat who still acts like a kitten ! She’s a complete cuddle bug and loves the pets and belly rubs. Coraline has never bit nor scratched anyone even while playing . She’s never scratched on furniture , she usually goes over to her cat tower. She has been around dogs who respect her space and I’ve never had a problem. She is a bit shy at first but as she warms up she comes out for love . When people come over she tends to hide but comes out after familiarizing their voice. I hate to give her away but we just found out our newborn is allergic to the cat and unfortunately we are left with no other option .

Story
Lil bits is a lovely 3 year old cat who would just love to be part of a family with people who are home often. She always craves attention and loves to be pet, cuddled, help and played with. She will join you on the couch, bed, wherever, to be pet. If you call her she comes running to you. She enjoys looking out the window and chitters when she sees birds. I am not home enough to give her love and attention she deserves. She chases and terrorizes my older cat-she means well and just wants to play but other cat hates it. She does gets along well with my younger cat who is more energetic, so she will do fine with a younger, playful cat. There are no issues with her health. She is fully litter trained and has never had any issues. She does not scratch furniture. She will occasionally jump on the counter and has a high interest in human food so all food should be put away. She does not go outside, she is strictly an indoor cat.
