Story
We got Hazel in 2020 and brought her home from a kitten hoarding situation. She joined us lived harmoniously with everyone (2 adults, 3 kids, and a cat) until 8 months ago when we had to welcome another kitten when we saved it off of the interstate. This new kitten and Hazel never got along but our house is big enough we mostly keep them separated into their own spaces and that has worked up until, due to some extended family having to come in and out on a regular basis, Hazel started to become stressed so we took her to the vet who prescribed her anxiety meds but she does not take the medicine without some serious "tortitude" and we know she would be happier in a home without little kids and a kitten. She is extremely sweet once you are "her person". She would prefer a home with a calmer environment. Comes with a large crate, beds, toys, etc so she can transition into a new home comfortably. She can be very loving and has a cute high pitched meow she likes to say hi with.

Story
Scout is a sweet and affectionate cat who has been a part of our family for almost 8 years. She loves people and loves to snuggle and be close to you. Unfortunately, with the birth of our first child we quickly learned that young children are a huge source of stress for her. With a second child on the way, we feel it best to find her a new home where she can be more happy and less stressed like she was prior to children in the home. She spends her days hidden under the bed and occasionally loses patches of fur on her ears from the stress. She is not aggressive towards children, but does not like how loud they are. Our other cat doesn’t love children either, but doesn’t spend all of her time in hiding. This has been a difficult decision because she is so loved, but that is why we think a new home is what is best for her. She deserves to have a stress free home that can provide the ongoing attention and affection she desires.

Story
Link is 5 years old and I have had him since he was a kitten. He is one of the sweetest cats you will ever meet. He is not shy around strangers and will go right up to you and sit on your lap if you let him. If you feel like cuddling, just call him over and he will happily sit on your lap! He is very affectionate as well as very energetic! He loves being pet and chasing toys. He loves doing "cat-acro" where I put him on my feet and he hangs out in the air! I am rehoming him only because I am about to be traveling full-time and unfortunately just won't be able to care for him.

Story
This a very sweet kitten my son brought home after his girlfriends parents told her she could not keep it. We have two dogs and an older cat in our home, the kitten did not get along with the dogs, although I think they would become friends if given time but my older cat was immediately aggressive and I do not think this would improve at all. The Kitten is currently being kept separately in a spare bedroom, we are not able to keep him in our home
