Story
I rescued Binx from a shelter when he was very young, almost 7 years ago. Binx is very loving and loves to be cuddled and sleep on my lap. He has always been an only cat, so I don’t know how he would do with other cats or dogs. I can’t keep Binx because my landlord will not allow me to bring him to the home I am moving to. I want Binx to go to a loving home where he will be loved as much as he has been while with me.

This is missy, she is very sweet she is a 2 year old black cat fixed and has her shots, she loves to play and hang out in high places. Unfortunately me and my family have to rehome her due to major life changes. She would work best in an only cat house hold/very minimal animal contact. She does not want to be outside. Pm me for any questions!

Story
Meet Tipsy: A Sweet Senior Seeking Her Golden Home Tipsy joined us in February after her person passed away. This charming girl has quickly shown us her unique personality! At an estimated 12-16 years old (a delightful surprise, as we initially were told she was 6!), Tipsy is a resilient and affectionate senior who's likely mostly or completely deaf. Don't worry though, she has a very distinctive and loud meow that lets you know exactly what she wants! This girl has a huge purr motor and absolutely demands chin pets—she'll let you know when it's time for some love. While she's not a fan of being picked up, she thrives on gentle affection and finds comfort in tucking away in a cozy hidey hole. Tipsy is a trooper, gracefully adapting to change with patience. She's currently on medication to help manage her heart murmur and elevated thyroid, liver, and heart functions, and she's doing great. And watch out: if she gets a little spooked, she can be very fast! She tolerates other pets but isn't looking to form close friendships—she's more interested in her human companions. Tipsy also has a few quirks, like her strong preference for potty breaks on non-carpeted surfaces (she's had no accidents on wood floors!). And if you ever need to move her in a carrier, be prepared for some dramatic "yelling"—it's just her way of protesting! Tipsy is a special, loving senior who deserves a patient and understanding forever home where she can enjoy her golden years feeling safe, cherished, and adored for all her wonderful quirks. Could your home be the purr-fect fit for Tipsy?

Story
Meet Vera 🤍 Vera is a gentle, soft-hearted cat who truly blossoms in a calm, quiet environment. Once she feels safe with you, she reveals her wonderfully cuddly and playful side. When Vera warms up to you, she loves cozy companionship and gentle playtime. She's an absolute sweetheart and has the loudest purr. Petite and ultra soft, she's perfect for cozy lap cuddles. Vera prefers peaceful surroundings and does best with a predictable routine. Unfortunately, she has been struggling with the stress of a recent move and the activity that comes with a young child, so we're looking for a loving new home where she can feel secure and relaxed. Her ideal home would be quiet and low-key, with patient humans who will let her set the pace and come out of her shell in her own time. In the right environment, Vera is incredibly loving and devoted. If you're looking for a soft, soulful companion who will reward your patience with deep affection, Vera could be the perfect fit. 🐾
