Story
I adopted her from Orange County Animal Services and she is the sweetest girl. Unfortunately my family member has to move in with me and they have severe allergies to cats, so I can no longer keep her in the home. I don’t want to take her back to the shelter, so please help me find a home where she can be loved!!

Story
Meet Bob! We truly wish we could keep Bob. He has been such a joy in our home. He is a big, silly, gentle boy with the sweetest temperament. Bob is affectionate, loves to purr, and enjoys playtime just as much as watching TV on the couch. His favorite activities are chasing his laser toy and attending Zoom meetings. He greets us at the door whenever we come home and likes to be nearby. He enjoys belly rubs and smelly shoes, too! Unfortunately, our first cat has not adjusted well to sharing her space with such a big boy, and for her well-being we've made the difficult decision to find Bob a new home. Bob is a wonderful cat who deserves a loving forever home. Whoever adopts him will be very lucky to have such a kind, affectionate companion.

Story
I have had Harry and brother since he was 3 1/2 mos old; he's now 7 1/2 yrs. I adopted them from someone who had taken in a stray cat who then had kittens. Harry was very close to brother. But trouble started when we moved from town house to apartment. We have now moved to a smaller 1-bedroom apartment and Harry has become aggressive toward Will -- a territorial issue? After 6 mos, the problem continues. Harry is healthy; his favorite game is making the bed and pieces of paper and pulling drawstrings on pants. He purrs for attention; he loves sitting in a lap while grooming and petting and snuggling. He loves lying on feet to sleep on bed. I think he will be a wonderful cat in a home with NO OTHER cats. He may be shy at beginning but warms up with regular food and attention.

Story
We live in the country and cats have been showing up at our house. They were hanging out near the barn but with the bitter cold weather they ventured closer to the house and we started feeding them so they wouldn't starve. We have indoor cats so they cannot come in our house. They are not afraid of our dogs, but they are driving our dogs crazy when they see the cats on the walkway outside the fence. It is creating tension between the dogs. These cats are friendly. The solid black one LOVES to be petted and lays in your lap. They bother deserve better than living outside in the cold. We have cared for them for a while but with the issues their presence creates for the dogs they absolutely must find a home! I do not want to take them to the shelter but if I can't find an adopter, I may have no other choice. The little black one would love to lay in your lap while you read or watch TV. And she purrs so loud! Please consider adopting one of these kitties. They are already spayed!

Story
Spanky is around 10 or 11 years old. We adopted him from an animal shelter back in 2015. He is a very spunky and curious cat. He loves being an indoor/outdoor cat. He never wanders far. He loves to explore. He also loves chasing things like flies and twisty ties. He loves cat nip and scratching his cat post. He loves to cuddle on his time. He will usually cuddle up to us at night. He loves temptations cat treats and is very picky with wet food. He will only eat the cat food with chunks and gravy. He does not like pate. He isn't as picky with dry cat food. Unfortunately, our dog has a high prey drive. While we have tried working with her, but she still goes after Spanky. We are also moving and cannot take him with us. We want to avoid surrendering him to a shelter. He is a very sweet boy.

Story
My name is Maritza, I have owned Simba for two years, he likes to play with dogs, he really likes attention (but only when he wants), he really likes to look outside or to be on the balcony, he has lived with dogs since he was little, he cries for attention, he lets himself be carried easily, he has never scratched anyone, he doesn't like having his belly touched, now he is a little scared because he lives with other animals, for that same reason and because I can't have him with me since where I live I can't have animals, I would like him to have a loving family that gives him the same love that I gave him these two years.
