Story
Lila & Mila were found under my doorstep back in October. I was feeding a stray at the time and is believed to be the mother of these two little girls. The mother cat never came back and I took them in while I could. These 2 deserve a loving home and hopefully together ❤️ they both have grown up with my dog and are super friendly and playful, full of energy! Help them find their furever homes!

Story
James has had significant trauma in his younger life. His tail seems to have been broken as well as white fur on his hip with bald patch in the center. Front paws were declawed. He doesn’t jump on counters, tables. Good bathroom behavior & healthy. While he will enjoy sitting on your lap he does not tolerate being picked up. Being around other animals is very difficult for James all of life is scary or dangerous in his mind. He suffers from anxiety, is very skittish, but loves to sit on lap and can be quite affectionate. He is best in a calm home. His last home had a screened in sunroom he enjoyed then they moved to a new home where it was not safe or possible for him to go outside. I happily took him in with a balcony he could come and go safely. I have moved and no longer have a balcony. Not being able to come & go freely, enjoy fresh air & sunshine at will has increased his anxiety. James has been seen by a Vet. Pheromones & Calming cat treats have helped.

Story
Jazz as a kitten had to have emergency surgery to save his life. Though successful, his back right leg was left a bit limp. He has gotten alot stronger with it over the years, and is able to keep up well with other cats. He loves humans and big dogs as long as they are friendly. He will warm up to other cats over time and will often act as a dad to younger ones. Very talkative and will usually try to keep around you once comfortable. He loves going outside. He doesn't lash out during baths but he will try to get away here and there. He and I have been through alot but unfortunately the next place im going won't allow me to keep him any longer. He is a really good boy and one of the few things i have left, but at the very least i want to give him the chance to live some place stable
