Story
Link is 5 years old and I have had him since he was a kitten. He is one of the sweetest cats you will ever meet. He is not shy around strangers and will go right up to you and sit on your lap if you let him. If you feel like cuddling, just call him over and he will happily sit on your lap! He is very affectionate as well as very energetic! He loves being pet and chasing toys. He loves doing "cat-acro" where I put him on my feet and he hangs out in the air! I am rehoming him only because I am about to be traveling full-time and unfortunately just won't be able to care for him.

Story
We got Hazel in 2020 and brought her home from a kitten hoarding situation. She joined us lived harmoniously with everyone (2 adults, 3 kids, and a cat) until 8 months ago when we had to welcome another kitten when we saved it off of the interstate. This new kitten and Hazel never got along but our house is big enough we mostly keep them separated into their own spaces and that has worked up until, due to some extended family having to come in and out on a regular basis, Hazel started to become stressed so we took her to the vet who prescribed her anxiety meds but she does not take the medicine without some serious "tortitude" and we know she would be happier in a home without little kids and a kitten. She is extremely sweet once you are "her person". She would prefer a home with a calmer environment. Comes with a large crate, beds, toys, etc so she can transition into a new home comfortably. She can be very loving and has a cute high pitched meow she likes to say hi with.

Story
Kedi is a 8 year old cat that is very sweet and easygoing. She loves curling up in our laps and napping in her favorite spots around the house. In the 4 years we’ve had her she has never torn up furniture or made a mess. She also likes to be outside and even prefers to sleep in the outdoor cat house we put on our porch. That said, her previous owners kept her indoors and I’m sure she would readjust to living indoors if preferred. We are looking for a new home for her because we will be living abroad for many months out of the year. We will provide her new parents her outdoor cat house, cat carrier, litter, a few months worth of flea and tick guard, and accessories.

Dottie is super loving little girl. She loves to be carried around and treated like a princess. She will stand on your shoulders and snuggle your head while you walk at times too ❤️ she is a stray I found a long with her brother Van Gogh. They are a bonded pair. Dottie has been spayed through the shelter and had her first rabies vaccine. She was dewormed at the shelter. She is an inside/outside kitty. Her and her brother need a loving home that can provide the love and attention they deserve.

Story
Scarlett is just a beautiful young lady. She's the picture perfect tabby cat with such a princess face. She loves attention. And to be the center of it. She will not shy away from grabbing your hand back to continue with pets 🥰 she says when you're done pampering her. She was born a stray kitten last spring outside my house. She uses my spare bedroom for warmth and comfort at night but loves her time outside on a beautiful day. I have 3 cats myself and just can't provide the living home and attention she deserves. Scar baby would make someone the perfect companion to someone needing a loving princess in their life.

Story
This is Jimmy boy everyone ❤️ he was part of a litter of 5 born in my neighbors backyard. He is bonded with his brother Butters (orange tabby also listed). The two boys spend their days in my yard now either sunbathing, bird watching, or wrestling and chasing one another. They truly do live their best life together. I unfortunately have to move after the summer. I have 3 indoor cats myself and cannot take these sweet brothers with me. I don't want to abandon these sweet boys. Jimmy is a little timid but just the sweetest guy once her trusts you. He doesn't like to be picked up. He just gets tense about it. So we respect his wishes and just give him constant chin rubs and back scratches. He has the most gentle nature about him. Just a sweetheart. Jimmy has to be adopted with his brother Butters. They are bonded at this point in their lives (approx 1 year old now). Both Jimmy and Butters are indoor/outdoor kitties.
