Story
I got Hendrix when she was about eight months old from my daughter. She was not getting along with my daughters dogs.She is very sweet, but she can also be very sassy. She seems to get along fine with male cats. She is not getting along with my other female cat currently. She used to; I dont know what happened. They growl and fight. She is not living her best life as shes always seems to be on guard. She has started to pee outside the litter box I believe because of the conflict. She has been checked medically, and there are no issues. The vet has cleared her. She likes to sleep with me and she likes being pet and cuddled, but on her own terms.

Story
Please help us rescue this cat! Moostachi is a soft gray cat with white markings, including two on her nose that make her look like she has a mustache. She lives in a house with two other cats and a dog. She is extremely shy of strangers. She had a human companion who could get her to come out for attention. Unfortunately, her human companion passed away, and she needs a new home. She is 6 years old, a healthy, vaccinated cat - no medical issues that we know of. She is unlikely to become a lap cat. She just needs a safe place to be.
