Story
Azula is super sweet and loving. Loves to cuddle a lot, will actually sleep on your face or probably become one with you if she had the opportunity. She loves to sunbathe and will not destroy your Christmas tree, she just likes to sleep under it because she is the star of the show. She loves hanging around kiddos, other cats and dogs as she is very well socialized but will go find a hiding spot whenever overwhelmed or just in general since she likes dark cold places. Azula is also very nosy so if anything is happening outside she will be the first cat to be there.

Story
William Wallace was born on 5 July 2025 on my front porch. I took his momma and 4 siblings in at about a week old to get them out of the heat. William is friendly, loving, fun and fully house trained. William loves to follow me around, trys to help with chores and is always there to snuggle on my lap He likes to sleep in the bed by my head and trys to hold my hand (the little charmer) William would be a great addition to a family with another cat who is friendly or to be adopted with one of his siblings. I am trying to avoid taking William and his siblings to the shelter. Please consider adding this fun loving, sweet brave boy to your family. I am willing to assist in transporting (driving) William to his furever home.

she is 4 years old and she is the sweetest girl. She does not get along with dogs as she is scared of them and she is not good with other cats as she won’t stick up for herself if another self when being attacked. She gets the poops when she is fed wet food. She loves treats and cuddles

Carmella is one of a litter of seven that I'm fostering with a friend. She was born around the first week of May 2025. So that makes her around 7 months old. Raised around my 6 dogs and 7 cats of my own. Kept indoors since she was weaned.Sweet little girl looking for a loving forever home. We have been so lucky with our adopters so far with this litter. Thank you for looking and I hope she sparks your interest.
