Story
Bonded pair!!Sahara has gone from feral to a lovebug. He will take some warming up once he finds his new home, but he is so worth it. He needs someone willing to be patient! He's very treat- and food- motivated, especially if you bribe him with cheese or a churu. We think he's bonded with Puppycat, and would acclimate smoother if they were kept together. One of their fees would also be waived.Like Puppycat, his favorite past time is to cuddle up alongside his bestie for a long nap. He also loves belly rubs!Can be inside, outside, or both. He's currently an outside cat. If you need a food barn cat, he's your guy.Higher adoption fee because he will be up-to-date on vaccinations by the time he leaves. If you want those done on your terms, the fee can be lowered.My spouse and I are trying to downsize and move, as the house were currently in has become unsafe for us or our animals. Finding them good homes is a priority.

Story
Bonded pair!!Puppycat is a big lover and will cuddle with you all day if you let him. He's partially blind and is a slightly older gentleman at ~6 years old, but he still loves to play like a kitten. He prefers shiny toys because they're easily for him to see. He gets his name from his dog-ish traits like occasionally playing fetch, and acting as a guard dog by walking you from your vehicle to your house. His favorite past time is curling up with Sahara, whom we think he's bonded with. Sahara is also up for adoption, and if you decide to adopt both of these boys, one of their fees will be waived.Puppycat generally gets along with other cats, but will sometimes try to dominate one of our female cats despite being fixed. He's become more docile with age, but will thrive in a one-cat household or with only Sahara. If you adopt him and it does not work out, don't hesitate to reach out to us.Higher adoption fee because he will be up-to-date on vaccinations by the time he leaves.

Story
Scooter is a big boy who loves attention, but on his time. Despite being our biggest and only inside male, he can be nervous and sporadically skittish. He isn't interested in what's on your plate and doesn't care for wet food, and prefers a dry, chicken-based diet. He acts like he wants to go outside but quickly changes his mind if the opportunity arises. He does love a secure porch! He has no behavior issues other than trying to grab you when you walk by. But in his defense, you definitely should have acknowledged his presence. Slightly higher rehoming fee simply because he will be recently up-to-date on shots before leaving. If you'd rather than happen on your terms, fee can be lowered.
