Story
Trix is a super sweet tuxedo kitty who doesn't let her missing leg slow her down. We've had her for 2.5 years after adopting her from a shelter and our other kitty does not get along with her. We've tried everything to get our tabby to get along and nothing worked. We love Trix. She loves to be pet and will come right up demanding pets. She is good around kids and allows our 3 year old to pet her. She is vocal and loves to have conversations. She does have a touch of that tuxedo sass but it only shows up in her dislike of being picked up and the occasional warning nibble if she doesn't want to be pet. She loves to play with pretty much anything she can find and also loves to run around. She is capable of going up and down stairs and does not have any issues getting around due to her missing leg. You will never find her on one of your counters because that is the only thing high enough she can't jump up on ( she can get up onto chairs and the cat tower fine).

Story
Homegirl used to be a community cat that became used to visiting our home after we fed her. Over the course of a year, she went from occasional visits every few months, to every other day, to now multiple times a day. She also gave birth to a litter of kittens which we found homes for. We also got her spayed/vaccinated and we’re now trying to find her a home. Technically we can’t have cats where we live now but we couldn’t help but look after her. She enjoys the freedom of being an outdoor cat and will verbally let you know when she’s ready to go out, but she also likes to enjoy the luxury indoors as well and will let you know when she wants to come back in. She’s litter box trained and doesn’t have any diet issues. She literally eats anything. We’ve fed her both wet and dry food and she’s fine with either or, or both. She loves the occasional pick-up/snuggle for a few seconds and will accept rubs endlessly lol. She likes to be where you are when in the house, but will nap alone.

Story
Ghost, a gray cat abandoned at the local CMPD shelter, his past shrouded in mystery. Despite his tumultuous history, Ghost found solace in the care of the his current owner, who ensured he remained up-to-date on his vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. He struggled with behavioral issues around female cats, but he remains a friendly companion to humans and a non-picky eater. He is about a year old who is perfectly balanced between playful and cuddly. His favorite toys are string toys and any toy he can carry around his mouth for his new adventures.

Story
Muffin is a sweet, playful one and a half year old Calico. Her previous owners are unable to continue caring for her due to their declining health. I’m fostering her while we find her fur-ever home. She’s up to date with her vaccinations as of March 15. She loves playing with toys, treats, watching birds, and napping in a sunny spot. She loves to be nearby and keep tabs on what’s happening in the house.

Story
This sweet young girl is the perfect mix of very loving and playful / funny. She was found as kitten, with her mother, Lilith, where thankfully there was a foster that could take them in. She is a little bit shy when meeting you at first, but she is excited to be at a home that welcomes her extremely funny personality. . She is an American Shorthair. Approximately 10 months old, she is neutered, negative on FeLV, and has all of her shots! I will be taking her to a vet to make sure she has all of her most recent records as well.

Sylvia is the sweetest cat, loves attention, even from my 2 yr old grandchild. I have had her about 9yrs as a rescue. Loves to go outside to wander the yard, always comes back. I have developed allergies to my cat, and along with xxxx@xxxx.x of pink eye! She will be happier if she could sleep with me, but I can't handle it. She is not afraid of dogs. When she goes outside, I can call her, and she comes running!

Hi. My name is Mishka aka Mishie pop and im looking for a new home. I have been with my foster family for over a year. I have been spayed and my rabies shots are up to date. I like to do my own thing but I also love chin scratchies and dont get me started on the ear. If you have a fenced in porch or balcony I loves to sit out and watch the birds. I'd like to think i am the sweetest and most chill cat you have seen and i think my current mom would agree. My tolerance is very high. I am amazing around children and other animals. Since i have been with my current family i think she would agree I have never bitten or scratched anyone. Im really a love bug. Oh and I loves TREATS!
