Story
We are moving in with family and they don’t allow any pets. We want to find a loving home that will adopt them together as they grew up together. Poppy is the calico and is very loving. She will sit by you all day for love and talks back when you call her Pop Pop. She is a bit skiddish and will go hide if someone comes in the door but will come out to greet them once they sit on the couch. Maxie is the brown tabby. She is curious and adventurous and always checks on her sister. She loves to come on your chest for some pets and enjoys a good tall cat tree and hair tie to play with. They were angels with my rambunctious toddler and they deserve someone who can center their lives around them.

Story
S’mores and Libby were found together and they will stay together. They have been by each other’s sides since they lived under a trailer. They’re always playing and loving on each other and they both love each other very much. S’mores is the domestic shorthair tortie. She’s a chatter box. Once you start talking to her she gonna yap right back. She loves compliments and attention. Her favorite thing is treats. She’s the more social out of the two. Libby is that but the opposite. She’s the bi color tabby American shorthair (?), she’s very skittish and shy and needs a lot of affection. Once you start petting her she won’t let you stop. It takes a while go her to warm up to you but once she realizes your the one feeding her and cleaning her poo she’s all over you. Give them an equal amount of attention and they’ll fall in love with you I promise.

Story
Boots, Bella, and Dora are the best companions. They are two years old. My brother had cancer and lived a lone. I rescued these 3 from a stray mother cat that showed up at his house when they were about 8 weeks old. With the help of CARE I was able to socialized them, vaccinate them, and had them spayed. I gave them to my brother when they were about 4 months old. They fell in love with my brother and he fell in love with them. They became his entertainer, his sleeping buddy, and his companion while watching tv and eating. He died in late June. His wish is for them to stay together. My wish is for someone to love them and enjoy them like my brother and me.
