Story
Hailey was found badly injured under a friends car in 2020. She seemed to have been attacked by an animal and had issues with her back legs and her eyes. She is 90% blind but does have the ability to see pin needle sight. We also worked on her leg strength and she is now great about walking around. She is a sweet and loving cat that is house trained but my older cat has single sibling issues and bullies her which causes her to not feel safe in my home. I hope she can find a forever home where she can feel safe and comfortable.

Story
This is Cookie and Pudding. (You can rename them) they are 9 weeks old and are bonded and a pair. Cookie is a boy and has distinct patterns and is mostly black, with some white. He has blue eyes. He’s very gentle, good with other cats and dogs. He is worm free and flea free, like all his brothers and sisters. Pudding is the calico and Cookie’s sister. She has green eyes. Cookie and Pudding eat wettened dry cat food and can use litter already! His mom showed up on my doorstep as a kitten just four months ago, and before I could have her fixed, she was pregnant. I’m keeping mom, but cannot keep the kittens due to rental policy. I’ve fallen in love with each of the kittens and it’s very important they go to good, clean homes and will be treated with love. These kittens must be adopted in a pair, as it’s best for their well being and overall behavior. Please message with any questions! Thanks

Story
Due to unforeseen circumstances we find ourselves having to Rehome our sweet kitty, she has been with us since she was a kitten. Luna may take some time warming up to a new environment and people but once she does she loves to sit on your lap and just sleep. Especially if there are blankets involved, she loves to chase lasers and go after anything crinkly. She likes to find a “spot” and just stays there most of the time if cuddles aren’t an option. She’s fine with our 80 dog, and we used to have another cat that passed away a few years ago who she tolerated.. she’s not a huge fan of other cats but after an adjustment period has been fine with anything. We have an infant who had pulled her tail a few times and she will meow but hasn’t done anything past that so I believe she may do better in a home with no small children. She is 7 years old and is mostly black, she has a white spot on her chest and belly, she is on the smaller side maybe 7-10 lbs.

Story
Meet Emmi! She is about one year old, and one of the sweetest cats we've ever met. Emmi is fully litter box trained. She loves to chase all kinds of toys, basking in the sun and sleeping on your chest. Sprinting after the toys you toss is definitely her favorite way to play. She absolutely adores people, purrs as soon as you enter the room. She does not get along well with other cats, not sure about dogs.
